Most people think core training means doing endless crunches and sit-ups.
In reality, a well-rounded core training program should include much more than spinal flexion. In this episode of The Performance Compass podcast, Coach Decker Lindsay breaks down the different categories of core training, including flexion, anti-extension, anti-rotation, anti-lateral flexion, rotation, and lateral flexion.
He explains why each category matters, how they contribute to performance, injury prevention, and everyday function, and how to structure your core training throughout the week for the best results.
