Description

Trunk stability training is rarely the focus of programming and often omitted all together, which is why it is the focus of this course. Ask any strength coach, personal trainer or rehab specialist and they will tell you that trunk stability (or "core strength" as it is often called) is incredibly important. Despite this fact, trunk stability training is rarely the focus of programming and is often omitted all together.
