Do I need to do aerobic exercises?

Question:
I couldn’t try-out for my schools baseball team this year because I hurt my arm. So now, I’m getting ready for next season when I can actually throw. I talked to the coach and he said it would be a good idea if I got a real strong core. I read up on it and I found out that I need to lower my body fat percentage to at least 12% to even see my core muscles. My current body fat percentage is 13.9%. I’m currently following the abdominal work out sessions on Gilad’s DVD, “Core And More.” Do I NEED to do aerobic exercises as well? Or will doing “Core And More” be enough to lower my body fat percentage by 2-3%?

**Please answer ALL of my questions**
Thank You!

Answer:

You misunderstood. To excel at any sport requires your torso, core muscles be strong. That has nothing to do with the amount of fat you also carry. At 14% you are only slightly above ideal, but if you have been exercising, well within competitive levels. If I were you, I would be more concerned with the rehabilitation on my arm. I do not see any problem with your core groups. Hope you make it back on the team!
