Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward composition of 'core' (the central/essential part) and 'strength' (physical power), so a learner who knows both words can infer it denotes the strength of the body's central muscles (abdomen/back). This noun+noun pattern ('X strength' = 'strength of X') is common and conceptually transparent across languages and fitness contexts, so it should be immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Core strength uses the image of a strong core, the body's centre made of stomach and back muscles. That strength holds you steady and helps you move, so the phrase means 'muscle strength in the stomach and back'.
