Unanswered Is core training all you really need to get through life?

[Cheeky Monkey]

Everyone says that core is the heart and soul of all training programs and frankly without the core, the upper and lower body means nothing. So my question is that if someone just specifically trains all aspects of their core muscles, would that be enough to stay reasonable healthy and fit for life?

I'm not talking about competition, bodybuilding, or aesthetics. Just the bare bone basics of staying relatively fit and healthy.

Thanks!

Think about your question and I am certain you will be able to answer this yourself.

One day you could possibly get to the level of the Tom Platz of abs...

Wtf is "core"? Isn't that just a stupid personal trainer euphemism for what would previously have been called "abs"?
