Unlock the secrets of true core strength! Join me as we challenge the widespread myth that a strong core is all about abs. In this episode, we redefine what it truly means to have a robust core by exploring the intricate dance between the deep inner unit core musculature (including the deep abdominal wall), and other systems in the body. Discover how this structure forms a dynamic cylinder that not only stabilizes your spine and pelvis but also plays a crucial role in posture and movement efficiency.
The core is a pressure zone! We'll play with the metaphor of a water balloon to illuminate the fascinating pressure dynamics within the core.
Finding the power of the core is a personal movement journey,; unique for everyone. It's all about starting from where you are and building gradually. Tune in, embrace your current abilities, and remember: seeking guidance when needed is a strength, not a weakness!
