Core Stability training is in the first phase of my program design for beginners, or returning to exercising clients. In this phase, it’s really important to activate the core muscles to move more efficiently not only in the gym but throughout daily activities. It’s also critical for improving posture and resistance to injury. Targeting core muscles such as rotatores, multifidus, transverse abdominis, pelvic floor and diaphragm. Using slow and controlled repetitions with little to no motion of t

💪 Why Deep Core Training Matters in Pregnancy 🤰 Your deep core = TA, diaphragm, pelvic floor, multifidus- muscles that stabilize your spine/pelvis and manage intra-abdominal pressure (IAP). During pregnancy, hormones (relaxin progesterone) and a growing belly stretch these structures. Efficient deep core coordination helps: 🔹 Maintain lumbo-pelvic stability (Lee & Hodges, 2016) 🔹 Reduce back/hip/pelvic tension 🔹 Improve posture movement control Late pregnancy limits diaphragm descent, raisi

🚨Stop doing core until you master this! Most people think “core training” = crunches or planks… But unless you can properly engage the deep core, you’ll leak energy and lose control every time you move. Here’s what’s happening in my video: ❌ In the first clip: my ribs are flared, pelvis dumped forward, and lats aren’t engaged. When I try to lift my knees, I swing everywhere because my deep core isn’t stabilizing. ✅ In the second clip: I exhale fully (diaphragm ascends), ribs tuck down, pelvis t
