@hannahbower2: Core Exercise Basics: Train Smarter, Not Harder😏 Your core workouts could be delivering so much more When doing core exercises, being intentional makes a huge difference, *especially* for healing and improving aesthetics & function. Here's what you need to know: 💪🏼You can do 1000 deep core exercises with little results if you're not actually connecting and working the deep core. 🤌🏻Even without perfect form, core exercises help BUT many people have dysfunction that prevents proper muscle coordination not allowing you to capture all the benefits. 🫣Many people engage their pelvic floor and deep abdominal muscles incorrectly due to imbalances or misinformation 👆🏽At first, you need to practice deliberately engaging and relaxing your pelvic floor until you build better connection & coordination of the deep core muscles 👊🏽Your pelvic floor works together with your lower transverse abdominis (lower stomach muscles), when one contracts properly, the other follows 👌🏽In a healthy core, these muscles activate automatically before movement (you shouldn't need to think about it once properly trained) 🤘🏽There are multiple effective ways to engage your core depending on what your body needs 🫵🏽For best results with deep core exercises, focus your mind on using your deep core with your BREATH to lead the movement 😏I teach all of this in depth with pelvic floor therapists to empower you to know how to connect to your body and make the most out of how you train! #MomsofTikTok #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #postpartum #postpartumbody #postpartumrecovery #diastasisrecti #core #coreworkout #gymmotivation #workouttipsforwomen
