The foam roller can be a very useful piece of equipment when trying to work on core stabilization. Here is a good exercise to try.
Take your foam roller and place it lengthwise in the center of your  
mat. Lie lengthwise on the roller ensuring that your whole trunk is on
the roller. Bring both knees up to the table top position (knees are
above the hips, knees bent
to 90 degrees) and have your hands resting lightly on the floor for
balance. Your core should be engaged .
STEP 2.
Exhale and extend your hips slightly, reaching your feet toward
the far wall. Ensure that your low back stays still by engaging your
abdominals throughout the exercise. Inhale and bring your knees back to
the start position.
Repeat 5-10 times.
Give it a try great for the core…
