Core Activation Part III: The Multifidus
The Multifidus is a deep core muscle that provides support from the back, pulling the lower spine toward the center of the body. When working together with the other core muscles, they create a cylinder of pressure through the lower part of the torso.

I also am unsure how to activate the multifidus. Maybe my back muscles are just too weak. :p
How do you know if you are strengthening the multifidus? I don't feel any pulling of anything. Could you point better where it is? I looked up an image online and put my fingers there and no matter what I do I can't seem to feel anything pull or tighten. I am thinking that I don't understand really where it is at or how it is supposed to feel.
Thanks
