Stop Pulling Your Belly to Your Spine!
Stop sucking your abs in! I know you may be thinking, “But wait, that’s what I’ve been taught to do…”
That’s the answer I’ve received countless times when a new client comes my way and we start working connecting their deep core. It actually does the opposite of what you may think it does. Crazy, right?!?
Watch my video below and take notice of how it affects your breathing… {it’s a BIG DEAL}.
Improve Your Core Connection!
This falls in line with my previous post about ‘untucking your butt’! Time and time again I see people tucking their butt and sucking their belly in thinking this is helping their ‘abs’ get stronger. BUT it’s not helping your body and in the long term can equal back pain, neck pain, core dysfunction and more.
This is why I love my Prenatal + Postnatal Membership! I am able to teach and bring awareness to how you should properly strengthen your abdominals for life long success!
Something To Think About…
Think about ‘zipping up’ your entire core from your pelvic floor muscles through your low belly and lengthening tall through the top of your head.

This actually makes sense! I told my wife so many times that it’s a bad habit, but now I can even show her! Great article!
Hey Patrick! I’m so glad you agree! Yes it’s somethings that still continues to be taught incorrectly in the fitness industry! I’m on a mission to change the way we engage and strengthen our core 🙂 My core program is coming soon too!
