To be quite honest with when it comes to muscle groups, I'm not very up to snuff with that. In a basic sense I would say that it would be the abdominal, and obliques. Although I'm pretty sure (could be wrong) that some of the muscles along the spine and back (Lats) are involved as well.@clemenslee1,
I have a follow up question for you if you do not mind. Specifically regarding the statement that the "core is firing against the legs". When you utilize the term "core", what muscle groups are you specifically referring to? Unfortunately, core has numerous different definitions. Some people refer specifically to the various abdominal muscles. While I agree that they play an important role in the process, I also believe there is more involved than that.
