TRIAD Performance Training

That foam roller gathering dust in your closet?

It's more than a recovery tool—it can seriously challenge your core stability.

The key is keeping your low back flat against the roller while you move. That forces your deep stabilizers to fire and keeps you honest.

Start simple—one leg up, then two. Once you own that, add extensions, side-to-side movement, or opposite arm-opposite leg.

You'll notice real quick if one side is weaker than the other. That's valuable information.

Stay controlled, don't let your back arch off the roller, and build from there. It's harder than it looks.

Got a foam roller? Give this a shot and tell me which variation humbles you the most.
