@nataliejillfit: Strong core, missing disc. And was still functionally strong at 53. I filmed this just two days before my L5 S1 disc replacement surgery. Yep… with a completely ruptured out and collapsed disc. I was still doing these core moves. Not because I’m superhuman but because this exact series kept me out of pain for 8 years. No crunches. No back bending. No “go big or go home” energy. Just precise positioning, tight core engagement, and absolutely attention to stabilizer muscles. Think ninja abs with grandma wisdom. Eventually my disc said, “NOPE…we’re done here,” and surgery became non-negotiable. 
But… I honestly credit these moves for keeping me moving, walking, lifting, and having a strong core at 53 If your back hurts just thinking about sit-ups , do these instead. Your spine will thank you. #discreplacement #discreplacementsurgery #abs #core
