What Is It?
ActivCore FEX is a system of exercise using ropes and slings to provide controlled instability and thus challenge the involuntary muscles of the body safely and effectively. The system activates the right muscles in the right amount at the right time, which is the key to achieving optimal performance. Clients of all ages and fitness levels can benefit from the exercises as the exercises are easily modified to challenge the body – or make the body feel weightless!
ActivCore FEX features Redcord from Redcord AS of Norway, which has become a popular addition to health clubs, therapeutic centers and Olympic training facilities throughout Europe. With its focus on the strength, balance and coordination, athletes from golfers to swimmers to skiers have benefited from it. To view videos of athletes and therapists using ActivCore, click here.
The 5 principles of ActivCore’s Redcord solution feed off the combined knowledge of physical medicine and exercise science:
- Controlled instability
- Functional exercise
- Pain free positioning and movements
- Precise control of exercise intensity
- Freedom of movements in all planes
The ActivCore’s Redcord solution provides trained professionals with the necessary tools to identify clients’ inactive muscles and weaknesses in core muscles. In turn, the program aids to:
- Restore muscle function
- Reduce muscle pain or discomfort
- Improve core stability
- Improve athletic performance
- Reduce the risk of injury
- Improve functional strength, balance and flexibility
ActivCore delivers the principle of “FEX”, or rather “Functional EXercise for every one,” which is essential to daily living, injury prevention and athletic performance. The technique is committed to facilitating strength development, balance enhancement and improved coordination for individuals of all ages and fitness levels. From the sedentary senior to the elite athlete, users of ActivCore can target their core muscles, build strength and improve performance – whether lifting grandchildren or running a marathon!

How Does it Work?
As many of you Pilates practitioners know, the involuntary muscles of the body can only be challenged through instability, and yet only a finite amount of instability can be created in a traditional Pilates setting before the risk of injury becomes too great. ActivCore creates an unstable environment that is also safe and comfortable, so clients at all levels of fitness have a means to target their core muscles and build strength safely and effectively. ActivCore restores muscle balance by retraining the right muscle to fire, thus facilitating proper movement patterns. The ActivCore system helps identify muscle imbalances – the overactive and inactive muscles – and then provides a specific exercise to address the imbalance. With its customizable set-up, the ActivCore FEX system easily accommodates all clients regardless of movement limitations or restrictions.
