If you’ve been told your back hurts because your core is weak, you’re not alone.
Most people double down on planks, crunches, and “core workouts”… but the pain doesn’t change.
That’s because the issue usually isn’t how strong your 6 pack is.
It’s how well you coordinate all the core muscles together.

Less about crushing your abs.
