As for the benefits of working your core, Harvard Health Publishing encourages you to think of it as follows: “Think of your core muscles as the sturdy central link in a chain connecting your upper and lower body.”
“Whether you’re hitting a tennis ball or mopping the floor, the necessary motions either originate in your core, or move through it.”
The same page adds: “No matter where motion starts, it ripples upward and downward to adjoining links of the chain. Thus, weak or inflexible core muscles can impair how well your arms and legs function. And that saps power from many of the moves you make.”
