09- Is Your Core Engaging WHEN & HOW It Should?! Why Mindful Engagement Is Key To A Functional & Strong Core!

Hey Friend!

Today we are talking more CORE! This time, mindful engagement! Do you know if your core is turning on or engaging WHEN or HOW it should?! Did you know that many of us engage our core in ways that increase pressure into our core system and down onto our pelvic floor? Increasing the risks of many common core and pelvic floor dysfunctions, like urinary incontinence or leaking, pelvic organ prolapse, hernias, and diastasis recti to name a few. This is especially critical during pregnancy and postpartum when the core system is already vulnerable.  Many of us, especially those passionate about health and fitness, are aware of the importance of our core and having a strong core. But a strong core is a useless core if it isn’t turning on and functioning properly for you when you need it too.  Even more frustrating, is working so hard as a busy mom to make the time to exercise and do the work, only to see minimal to no progress.  If our motor planning during certain core exercises is not correct, it is highly likely that we are strengthening and engaging the wrong muscles and perpetuating our muscle imbalances while also increasing pressure in our system in places we want to avoid.  Inside today’s episode I break down the basics of how our deep core system should be engaging and how to find out if your core is working how and when it should!
