"The MAJOR muscles of your core include your transverse abdominis, multifidus, internal and external obliques, erector spinae, diaphragm, pelvic floor muscles, and (of course) your abs, the rectus abdominis.
Your MINOR core muscles include your lats, traps, and (to the surprise of many people) your glutes. All of these muscles have their own unique functions—your glutes extend your hips and your obliques rotate and flex your torso, for example—but they all also perform one of two key actions that bind them as “core” muscles: they support and stabilize your spine or pelvis."
And in the words of former head coach, Tom Coughlin regarding injuries: "He has a knee."
