  1. Thank you for posting this, I’ve been using it for a month or two and I’ve rlealy noticed a significant change in my core strength and consequently my balance and running ability, overall it’s just been awesome! Especially the knowledge you passed on in the video, it was very good to know. However, it’s reached the point where I no longer find this workout as challenging as before, so I was wondering if you had any advice as to what kind of core strengthening exercises I should try next?
