Have you experienced back pain? The McGill Big 3 is a protocol developed by Dr. Stuart McGill to help you develop core stability and to keep back pain from occurring. It’s the McGill Curlup, Side Plank, and Bird-Dog. Do this during your fitness warmup, midway through your day, or when you need help toning down your back pain. I hope it helps; I know it’s helped me tremendously!

There are so many McGill big 3 videos on YouTube. For me this is the best! Clear follow along instructions! Brilliant teaching method. I can’t thank you enough, deep gratitude for your help!!

I’ve been healing an excruciating herniated disc for the last 6 weeks and was fatigued by every PT video I was finding: they’re either overwhelming in energy or strength expectations or just straight unhelpful. I’ve tried to find a daily McGill video that was short and relaxed enough I’d want to do them before work every day, so I could get back to a healthy stabilization routine (since neglecting it was how I got hurt in the first place). This is the best one, like others have said. Your sincere demeanor really makes it and is borderline ASMR! 😂 This is just wonderfully paced and simple for injured or disabled folks alike because it’s short, sweet and highly effective. This reduced my pain so much because it finally clicked with the right instructor and cues. Thank you!

So much easier to do PT with a follow along, thanks dude!!

I've been shirking my exercises even though I have back trouble and know I should be doing them. Thank you so much for the follow along - it makes it so much easier to just set ten minutes a day aside and do them. Playing some background music on the phone at the same time makes it even better. Thanks again!

I like the birds calling in the background. Very relaxing.

You have one of the most calming relaxing voices I've ever heard. My mind wanders very easily when trying to do simple tasks like this, so I very much appreciate a follow along

Great routine. Short easy and to follow. I do this most days simply because it's so quick but very beneficial.

Excellent, well taught. Most people teach this incorrectly with the raised leg of the bird dog way up in the air defeating the purpose of the exercise.

[superdesultory]

I’ve done this a couple times now - I really appreciate you taking the time to produce this, it’s so much easier for me to do PT with a follow along

[juancena]

Thank you I use this video a lot. Follow alongs are the best for my brain that is 12 places at once

[jodybusch]

This is really helpful to me! I have a hard time counting reps etc. following along works so well.

Any chance of a progression video? Like a 15 minute Big 3 part two, with some options to make it a bit harder? Been following this for just over a week and ready for a bit more!

[frostgiant]

Thanks for doing the follow along video for these. Much easier to just zone out and follow along to your instructions.

This is my second day in a row using this follow along as part of my workout warm up routine. I'm sure I'll replaying this video for a long time. Thanks!

[KathyM-ex]

This was fantastic. I love following along. You made it doable. Thank you from Australia. I’ll do these every day.
