Core Training Exercises with Stability PODS

Stability PODS are the newest core strengthening and stability training exercise tools from Trigger Point Technologies. The Stability PODS are designed to ensure sound biomechanics through intense training. The Stability PODS have a concave shape that challenges balance and symmetry - causing the user to activate intense core strength. Watch the videos below to get an idea of the core exercises you can do with the Stability PODS!


Your body will actively correct stability and balance issues when training with the Stability PODS. There are three sizes of PODS,which means three levels of difficulty: Level I, Level II, and Level III (all sold as a set, see set below).

Note: the previous versions of the Stability PODS were black in color. The new PODS are blue with the same core strengthening abilities.


Re-Core: Gain true core strength with the PODS

pods_pushup.jpgCore muscles have never been challenged like this! Place the Stability PODS between you and the ground to create instability and challenge core strength. Introduce the Stability PODS into your traditional core workouts and feel the results.

Other stability products, such as a bosu ball, simply force you to balance your body, regardless of poor posture, damage, or ineffectiveness. The Stability PODS challenge the core muscles in a safe, effective and revolutionary way.

When using the Stability PODS under your feet, place the PODS under the ball of your foot and keep your heel off of the ground. This will challenge your core by activating the muscles in a biomechanically sound way. If you have used a bosu ball, you will quickly realize that the Stability PODS are a more affordable, portable and versitile option!

Try to Duplicate, Try to Re-Core



Notice the Stability PODS under the elbows, ankles and hands. This is creating instability and challenging core exercises. Typical bridge, plank and push-up exercises can be dramatically enhanced with the Stability PODS.

Corbin_baja_run2.jpgThe Stability PODS are a great companion or supplement for runner’s who are looking to strengthen their core. As a runner, a strong core will keep biomechanics solid during intense workouts. We defy the traditional definition of “core” as simply your abs, especially for runners. We define your core is the center of your body, including the abs. The Stability PODS allow you to strengthen that core.




Single-Leg Stability Exercises:

Stand with a Stability POD centered under the ball of your foot with one leg and balance. Do not let your pelvis or gluts to shift back. Stand tall and lengthen your core. Slowly raise your opposite leg (see pictures) and remain steady on the POD. Lower that leg while maintaining your balance. Do not touch the ground with the foot you are raising and lowering.



Level I
The level I (small) Stability POD should be used after a day of hard training to strengthen the core once fatigue has already set in and your biomechanics have been challenged.

Level II
The level II (medium) Stability POD should be used after a day of moderate training or while you are working your way up to the level III (largest) POD. Use the Level II POD after a moderate workout is to strengthen the core and test its abilities when moderate fatigue has set in and biomechanics have moderately been challenged.

Level III
The level III (large) Stability POD should be used after a day of minimal or no training. Single leg exercises with the level III POD will be intense and difficult. However they will yield the greatest results for your core and your running.


Hip Abduction with Bent Knee:

PODS4.jpgThis exercise will target the hip abductors and other core and hip muscles. Stand on the Stability POD with one leg and bend that knee. Bend the knee of your opposite leg - bringing your heel back to form a 90 degree angle. Slowly move the opposite leg away from your body (see picture). Bring that leg back in toward the center. Remember, stand poised and confident, look straight ahead, and don’t allow your body or pelvis to lean to either side.





"Stability exercises are different than conventional exercises because they are designed to activate the deeper muscles of the core. Since these muscles are under-trained in most of us, doing a small amount of stability exercises will fatigue them. Once these muscles become fatigued, other muscles begin to take over. When this happens, you are no longer getting any benefit from stability training. Doing smaller repetitions recruits the appropriate muscles."
-Nicole Fowler, MSPT
