"KIRK VICKERS: The next movement that we're going to do in our core series of movement for core strengthening, we're going to use a foam roll to help us out a little bit. This is going to challenge us from a stability and a balance standpoint. These foam rolls can be picked up fairly cheap. It's something you can have just laying around the house. What we're going to do is we're going to lay long on the foam roll, and I'm just going to start--put our whole spine with our head on this and we're just going to work from a pelvic-tilt position here. You see there's a little bit of movement from side to side, but we're just going to try to stabilize our body, keeping our arms up off the ground kind of to the side to stabilize us. A fairly, simple movement to start off with it, which is just getting a feel for this unbalanced position underneath the spine to develop more intrinsic stabilizers. Stabilizing, trying to keep us--when I say stabilize, I mean, we're trying to keep ourselves in a more of a neutral position. So we're just going to work 10 to 15, maybe as many as 25, just flattening out the low back. Remember, belly bottom to spine position with this."
