Why don’t my abs work

Hi, I like working out, but I know my core is NOT what it needs to be. Very often when I’m working out I try to engage my core but after a few movements I lose the engagement and can’t get it back. Same with specifically ab workouts too. The worse part is usually my lower back starts to hurt and I end up stopping the workout since I can’t re-engage properly. What can I do to help this? I’ve thought about getting those waist belts thinking it might help. But I don’t want to spend money on something if it won’t help. Thanks

Need the workout

Hello I appreciate all the information you both are always providing. And I appreciate the workout programs you make too. My question is, would it be possible for you two to come up with a homework program using barbells and dumbbells? I only have time to workout at home and I’d love to follow a more structured program. But with your programs it includes even warmups I can’t do at home. No treadmill or stair master or any kind of large workout equipment. Hope this is a popular enough request to get a response. Thank you.

Hey my glute program says I don’t have access anymore! Wasn’t sure where to go for this so figured I’d ask here.

In wanting to do my own research, where do I start and who do I trust?

I absolutely love how informed you both are and the knowledge you have. If I want to research something you haven’t coveted yet, where do I start? Google and the socials can’t always be trusted. Thank you, and thank you for what you do.

Inbody or similar impedance scanners

Do you recommend adding an Inbody or other similar products for a boutique personal training business? I am concerned about accuracy and the cost, especially starting out.
