The number one request I get from my clients and students now and in the 14 years I’ve been in the industry is more CORE! I I totally get it- there is nothing more rewarding than arching your back and feeling your sore muscles stretch.

But did you know the core is so much more than those sore muscles from crunches?

Today we take a 360 degree look at our core (and if you listen in, you’ll see why I chose that 360-adjective!)

• What muscles are included (I bet you didn’t realize how many there are!)
• Why we need to strengthen them (beyond having a tight stomach)
• Easy movements you can do RIGHT NOW (yes, for real!) to activate your core.

Resources mentioned in today’s episode

Most of today’s research are straight from my NASM Personal Training Manual. This has become my fitness bible and I reference it ALL the time!

To check out Pete McCall’s Smarter Workouts: The Science of Exercise Made Simple (and his brilliant comment about a “cooler”) head over here. By the way, this is one book I recommend as a hard copy so you can take it with you and utilize the workouts easily.
