Build strength and stability in the core with Renegade Rows and Ab Wheel Rollouts. These advanced core stability exercises target the entire core including the following muscles: transverse abdominis, internal obliques, external obliques, rectus abdominis, multifidi and erector spinae. Core strength and stability help to lower the risk of injuries including lumbar spine sprain/strain, lumbar radiculopathy, facet syndrome, lumbar disc herniation, lumbar disc degeneration, piriformis syndrome, hamstrings strain, adductor strain and proximal hamstrings tendinopathy. Core stability training helps correct the postural impairment known as lower cross syndrome.

Core stability helps correct posture and prevent injuries. Perform all exercises through a symptom free range of motion. Never execute an exercise that elicits or intensifies symptoms. If an exercise elicits or intensifies symptoms, stop immediately and find a viable substitute. Increase intensity in small gradual calculated increments.
