“Engage your Core!”

I’m sure you’ve heard these words thrown around before, whether you’re at the gym, doing pilates or coming out of a downward dog at yoga.

“Engage your core!”

“Tighten your abs”

“Brace!”

While there is nothing wrong with saying this, it is the understanding of what it actually means that is often misinterpreted.

Contrary to popular belief, the six-pack muscles isn’t the main muscle contributing to proper bracing mechanics.

There are SIX other muscles required to help create a cylindrical shaped area of pressure.

First, we must learn how to breathe in a 360° direction, getting these muscles to expand and contract efficiently.

More on breathing later.

Follow me, for more simple ways to move and feel better.

Training With Pain or an Injury

Pain and injuries are frustrating and can often leave us deflated and not wanting to continue exercising.

People even avoid seeking help when pain or injury arises. Usually due to being afraid that they’ll be told to stop what they are doing.

However, there is almost always a way to regress or modify an exercises to allow us to continue.

Will this make things worse?
As a general rule, if the pain is 3-4/10 or less when exercising then you should be okay.

This is because when we are recovering, the injured area has a heightened level of sensitivity, making non-painful stimulus feel painful.

Much like a bruise on your arm, you poke it and it hurts but it isn’t causing any damage, it is just more sensitive.

So, if your shoulder is hurting during bench press, try out a floor press.

If you have strained your calf and can’t do your usual run. Jump on a bike or go for a swim while it recovers.

If your knee hurts squatting, reduce the weight and do slow tempo reps.

If you’re unsure on what to do or your pain isn’t getting any better, comment below or reach out via DM’s.
