Core Stability 5 (Jack Reynolds)

Science Behind the Plan:

"Core stability is about resisting movement as much as creating it," says Jack. This plan focuses on developing the deep stabilizing muscles of the trunk to enhance posture, movement efficiency, and injury resilience. The program implements anti-extension, anti-rotation, and anti-lateral flexion exercises to comprehensively train all aspects of core function.

6-Week Program:
