It should help support a strong core but not sure if it's enough on its own. unless you are fab at it! I quite like Joe wicks abs workout m.youtube.com it's quite quick and can definatley feel it the next day

Nellers Mar 2018 2:10pm, 31 Mar 2018 32,379 posts	Quote Pin Nellers HG, I've never been a member at a gym. I've always felt a little bit intimidated working out in front of other people. I'm a bit solitary. With my Achilles in the state it's in, though, I've got a membership for the pool and it includes gym usage as well. I'm thinking I might give it a go. Also, I did another 45 minutes of strength and core work this morning in the shed, and a 30 minute stretching routine.
