Dave’s Core Plan has totally changed my practice. It’s a very effective plan to follow day by day for the rest of my life. I am at Day 21 and my yoga practice, running, and general posture has developed a lot thanks to this series. It's a must have.

As someone who is pretty much desk-bound the majority of the day, I've been really struggling to firm up my core and get some midline stability. After the first week I was moving up to the more difficult versions and my abs have never felt better. This plan has carried into other areas of my life: I feel comfortable at work with less back issues, my other workouts including Olympic lifts have improved and I generally feel like I'm walking taller. The way Dave talks you through the exercises – what to move, how to feel – has been a real benefit and improved my body awareness fantastically. My toes are now pointed, head neutral, and the movements are becoming more and more natural.
