Most recurring back pain comes from a core that cannot stabilize the spine. When the core is weak, the back absorbs stress it was never designed to handle.

This five minute core stability routine helps protect the spine, improve posture, and reduce recurring pain.

This approach fits directly into the IKAIKA Strength Protocol for Health, built on strength training for health and longevity focused training.

If you are looking for a personal trainer in Durham NC who focuses on real health, this is the system we coach every day.

Cardio burns calories. Strength burns fat.

Long cardio sessions burn calories in the moment. Strength training raises your metabolism and helps your body burn fat all day.

That is why smart fat loss always starts with lifting weights.
