Brief summary: This study will compare the effectiveness of core stability and Wii fit plus exercise in improving core stability. Group A will perform Wii fit plus exercises and group B will perform core stability exercise.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Age between 18 to 29 years
* Male and female subjects
* Trunk flexor endurance less than 144 seconds in male and 149 seconds in female subjects
* Trunk extensor endurance less than 146 seconds in male and 189 seconds in female subjects
* Flexibility less than 24 cm in male and 27 cm in female.

Exclusion Criteria:
