Core Exercises
Here are 4 of my favorite core exercises you can try. These are rehab based exercises and should be able to be done without pain, as if you do them well, your back should not actually move.
Of course, if you have any questions regarding these exercises, please ask when you are in next and I can help you out.
NOTE: If you have any pain when doing these exercises, stop doing them and ask for help.

TVA activation
Before we start core work, we need to have good activation of the core and in particular, the TVA or Transverse Abdominals. This helps when doing the exercises themselves, but can also be invaluable in everyday life as well.
Watch this short video and make sure you can do this activation comfortably before beginning the core exercises themselves.

Your core is more than just the 'Abs'
The core is a ring of muscles and not just the 'abs' at the front. That is why I show you 4 exercises to help you activate all of these muscles.
The Abdominal exercises
There are 2 of these, but you only need to do one. They are called the 'Curl up' and the ' Dead bug'.
Try them both and see which feels best and then stick to that one.
