You’ve probably heard that core strength is important — but do you really know what the “core” is?
In this episode, we go beyond six-pack myths to explore what actually makes up the core, why it's essential for everything from posture to breathing, and how to recognize if your core is underperforming — in yourself and others.
We break down:
What the core really includes (muscles, bones, and function)
Why back pain, poor posture, and shallow breathing often trace back to core dysfunction
Common everyday habits that weaken your core without you realizing it
Real-world signs your core isn’t doing its job — and how to start fixing it
A look at somatic and holistic views of the core as an emotional and physical center
Whether you're a mover, a coach, or someone struggling with nagging pain, this episode will help you finally understand what your core is for — and why it matters more than you think.
