The purpose of the core is to stabilize (control) the spine in various movements and activities. Crunches and planks train the abs but don't do much for the overall function of the core -- strong abs do not mean a strong and stable core. Planks are okay, but most people are not doing them correctly, and they tend to get boring.

The secret sauce of this course is we teach you how the core works, so you're equipped to train and use it the right way.

Core strength + stability = less pain + better performance

Everybody needs core training! It's true, but in all seriousness, if you're not doing any core training, then you definitely need core training!

If you sit for work, have had back pain, or have hit performance plateaus in the gym or on the field, then you need core training.

The core plays a pivotal role in everyday movement and activity, such as walking, bending, lunging, squatting, lifting, etc. Said activities can be as low-level as walking and as high-level as athletic performance -- they both require a functional core but at different intensity levels!

This course teaches you how the core works so you can train it the right way and know how to scale it toward the activities you want to feel and perform better.

Core Strength + Stability = less pain + better performance. 

The Core is like a pressurized soda pop can. The muscles work together to create pressure in your abdominal "can" to properly stiffen and stabilize the spine.

The primary muscles of the Core are the diaphragm (top), pelvic floor (bottom), transverse abdominis, rectus abdominis, lumbar multifidii, obliques (cylinder of the can).
