Call stability is the linchpin for developing athleticism. It also has a great deal to do with the health of your spine and possibly whether or not you are pain-free in your back.

There is no one size fits or stretch, exercise or cause of back pain Although performing these three exercises is a fantastic way to take care of your core strength in 360°.

1- the bird dog - this focuses on trunk stability and core strength while maintaining neutral spine and helps to strengthen muscles that are used in spine and hip extension.

2- the side plank - this focuses on strengthening your obliques and transverse abdominals.

3- the McGill curl up - this focuses on rectus abdominous or the sixpack muscles and teaches you to efficiently maintain neutral spine while building tension through your core without allowing your lower back to change shape and load. In this case load is trunk tension or intra-abdominal pressure

These three exercises are the result of years of lab testing spines. Dr Stuart MacGill found these three exercises to be the most efficient for addressing all areas of core strength and trunk stability without placing excessive stresses on parts of your back and spine that may have become injured or aggravated. As a result of his work and publications these three exercises have become known as the McGill BIG 3
