What core cues actually help you? And which ones feel confusing or conflicting? ๐
I'm curious about this because cues shape how we move for years, sometimes decades. Some help. Some work against us. Most of us don't know what is what.
Tell me what works for you and what doesn't.

This is what I strength train for. Long walks in the woods. Adventures with Goose. Memories with family.

I spent 20 years stretching my hamstrings. It gave me flexibility in my 20s but became a liability in my 40s.
Now, I strengthen my hamstrings. And it's helped everything. My lower back, SI joint, and deep core. Here are 3 of my favorite movements.

Can you get up off the floor without using your hands?
This single test is one of the strongest predictors of longevity. Try it.
Stuck? frustrated? Tell me about your experience. A longevity test series is coming.

If your lower back or neck is doing all the work, your core isn't doing any of it.
This is one of the clearest signs that something is missing from your understanding of core. In this podcast, we'll unpack the most common cues, why they might not be working, and what to do instead.

Is five minutes of bodyweight movement actually enough to get results?
An Australian study says yes. Here's what they found and why it matters when you don't have enough time, energy or bandwidth.

Progressive Core. Three sets. Three different types of resistance.
Round one: bodyweight, hands behind your head.
Round two: a resistance band on your forearms.
Round three: holding a dumbbell.
Same principles: breathing, stacking, staying connected as you build an unshakeable core. Give it a go.

"Pull your navel to your spine."
"Hollow your abdomen."
"Brace your core."
These are the most common core cues in yoga and fitness. They're also working against your true core.
True core is a pressure system โ based on your breathing, driven by your diaphragm, dependent on the stacking of your ribs and your pelvis.
This episode explains exactly what's wrong with the cues most people have been given. And what to do instead.

Core. What does it mean to you? What has it done for you? What helps you find it?
What are your questions about it? Drop me a note. I'd love to hear from you.

The Unshakeable Core series is building. And this older practice is still one of the best places to build a solid foundation.
No crunches. No planks. Deep core activation. Through breathing and stacking. Done in a way that transfers to everything else you do.
