Core Focus 2
Science Behind the Plan:
"A strong core is the foundation of all movement," explains Marcus. This plan emphasizes core development while maintaining overall conditioning. Each workout includes substantial core work but balances it with other movement patterns to ensure well-rounded development. The program implements a wave-loading approach to progressively challenge core stability and strength.
