Strengthening the "core" of your body is recognized as important to overall fitness, and many pieces of home fitness equipment will help. The core is basically the abdominal, low back, and hip areas, so your ab exercise machine helps. Many yoga postures help the core, and the core is central to pilates workouts. Exercise balls emphasize the core and little devices called foam rollers are great for core workouts. You will be surprised how hard it is to stay stable on them at first. Work your core and save your back.
