FAQ
How is this different from other core workouts?
The CoreStick™ is utilized in conjunction with life-like/sport-like movements and causes the core muscles to subconsciously “react” or “fire”. Because of the CoreStick’s unique design, it can “isolate” specific muscle groups, all the while you are performing these integrated movement patterns. It also differs by allowing the person using it to determine the intensity of the exercise by modifying the distance that the CoreStick is moved, as well as the speed of the movement.- How quickly will I see results?
It depends on frequency and intensity of use as well as baseline fitness levels of the user. However, it can provide noticeable results in 2-4 weeks with respect to posture and increasing tolerance to activity.
- What results can I expect?
Increased vitality; increased abdominal and back muscle tone; increase in flexibility of spinal/hip movements; increase in sport specific strength and movement patterns; decreased low back pain/stiffness; and increased power in golf swing and tennis stroke.

- How do I know which accessory I need?
