Over the next 6 weeks we will be focusing on low back and abdominal strength. This will be in conjunction with building on the single leg strength and stability we have accrued over the previous 6 weeks and returning to bilateral leg movements – namely squat variations.

“Stronger people are harder to kill”

Remember we need to be strong in all positions, so all though these exercises beneath are supplementary they are essential for you to perform and progress.
