Rather than just a tool to change it."

☠️WHY ? would anyone willingly put themselves

🤔 STILL TRYING to ‘ENGAGE” OR “ACTIVATE” your CORE or PELVIC FLOOR before you exercise ?
Do you notice it is making your low belly.. BULGE?
This is super common & usually means that the upper #abs are over-activated and are causing unnecessary intra-abdominal pressure which is actually pushing down on your lower belly + #pelvicfloor.
For many women regularly doing can lead to the pelvic floor becoming too tight #hypertonic (symptoms incl leaking, back pain and more) and / or a hernia or prolapse.
📢have said it before and will say is again
*LOUDER 🗣️*
YOU DON’T NEED TO ‘ENGAGE YOUR CORE” before a movement
….do we do that with any other muscle in our body before we use it ?
Have you heard “engage your bicep” before you lift your grocery bags ?
Hopefully NOT 🫤
“Over-cuing” of the CORE is doing MANY WOMEN absolutely no favours 👎🏼
1️⃣The first step is to stop “drawing belly button to spine” or “brace your core” …ignore this if you hear it in a class / or question a coach advising to do this as it is #outdated
TRY THIS INSTEAD🔽
To get your core working in SYNERGY with all your other muscles and your nervous system.
In this video:
🖤I am in a kneeling position legs at 90 degrees
🖤 I have a mini band around my thigh and under looped on my forearm
🖤Spine is long and INSTEAD of gripping my abs, I am consciously transferring load into my foot (without clenching my toes)
🖤Then all I am doing is curling my bicep and as it rises EXHALING
The simple combination of optimal posture, combined with optimal breath and resistance is “activating my core” …with NO GRIPPING OR SUCKING 🤩
🌸Let me know if you try this - science has proven that proprioception + neutral spine type core exercises WILL get the #deepcore to reconnect.
Looking for a resource to help you with this journey, (whether you recently gave birth, are recovering from a pelvic related surgery, or simply never took part in any kind of pelvic floor/core protocol), I created something just for you 👇🏼
Comment “CORE” below if you’re ready to rediscover your WHOLE core! ✨
