The term ‘core training’ gets thrown around a lot in our industry (and in the general public). There are lots of philosophies about core training and what is the best way to do it.

The strength guys say something like “forget doing abs, just do heavy squats and deadlifts”. The functional guys say “lying down is not functional, all core training must be done standing”.

Then you go on YouTube and see 1000’s of so-called ‘ab’ and ‘core’ exercises. Programming and terminology from these YouTube stars are all over the place and even contradicting.

So, who do we believe?

This is where I sought-out my go-to expert, Coach Mike Boyle. I wanted him to clear up the confusion once and for all so that trainers and coaches can all be on the same page with what actually works and approach core training with programming that is scientifically sound and real-world effective.

For your clients, you are just looking for results and ways to improve performance, so we came up with the new Complete Core program.

With so many different opinions about core training available, one of the main objectives of Complete Core is to clear up some misconceptions and disagreements about core training. The idea is to highlight the similarities in core training, instead of the differences, in order to make a complete core training system that works.

Complete Core was designed to really make you think about what you are doing from a core training perspective, to hopefully make you question some of the core training processes you currently utilize, and to ideally inspire you to change some of those processes with your athletes and/or clients. Coaches will be able to provide a better training experience for their athletes/clients who will ultimately benefit from this product.

With so many different philosophies about core training available, one of the main objectives of Complete Core is to clear up some misconceptions and disagreements about core training. The idea is to highlight the similarities in core training, instead of the differences, in order to make a complete core training system that works.

The Complete Core program describes the science and rationale behind particular methods of core training. It undoubtedly addresses the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of core training: what exercises to do and how to do them, through perfectly executed demonstrations showing exactly how to perform over 60 core training exercises. More importantly, however, Complete Core addresses the ‘why’ and the importance of core training: Why are we choosing the exercises we are doing? Why are anti-rotation, anti-lateral flexion, and anti-extension important?

With Complete Core, Mike Boyle addresses when to train the core, how to train the core, how much core training should be implemented (volume, reps, time), the role of the core (and real-world anatomy), how breathing is involved and affects the core (and how to breathe correctly), what to avoid, developmental progressions and regressions, and exact exercises to use.

Complete Core was designed to really make someone think about what they are doing from a core training perspective, to hopefully make them question some of the core training processes they currently utilize, and to ideally inspire them to change some of those processes with their athletes and/or clients. Coaches will be able to provide a better training experience for their athletes/clients who will ultimately benefit from this product. Coaches will be able to design core training programs that emphasize injury reduction with the goal of improved performance.

With Complete Core, coaches will be able to use experienced scientifically proven core training processes with their athletes to produce measurable results.
