How important is it to work your stabilizing muscles?.. what are some exercises that can work the muscles which we normally dont use? Who do you think will benefit most by working on them? Discuss please.
it is essential. stablizer muscles help you keep balanced and upright while working out.
by doing so you will be able to lift heavier weights, build more muscle growth, and it can prevent injuries.
deadlifts, pushups, lunges, exercises using the medicine ball, use of free weights (ie dumbbells, barbells) all help in working out these muscles.
who benefits from it? everyone!

Mus-kels. What are they I wonder 
Re: Strengthing Stabilizer muscles.
I looked it up on google video.
Found an awesome video too. I will put it up when I go home.
But I think when we do play sports we do train them one way or another.
Re: Strengthing Stabilizer muscles.
Trying to define stabilizer muscles can be tricky, because the muscle taking on this role changes depending on what exercise you are performing. For example, a sit-up features the abdominals as prime movers, but during a deadlift, the abdominals are stabilizers.... Therefore, the key to strengthening stabilizers is to perform a wide variety of lifts that target every muscle that you can, because at some point they are all bound to be stabilizers.
It is not only important to train stabilizer muscles, it is imperative. Stabilizer muscles provide the balance and support for taxing compound lifts, allowing you to perform major exercises such as squats and deadlifts. Without this stabilization, you would not be able to produce as much force in these compound maneuvers
it should be apparent that anyone who wants to make the most of their training program should do everything they can to strengthen stabilizer muscles. If you hope to have a lot of strength for compound movements, training stabilizer muscles is a must.
....one particular group of people that rely a lot on stabilizer muscles are athletes.
