Bracing your core isn’t just “sucking in” or clenching as hard as possible.
It’s creating 360° pressure around your spine so your body has support when you move, lift, carry kids, or pick up the laundry basket for the 37th time today.
Think of it like a built-in weight belt.
Breathe in.�Expand ribs and belly.�Gently brace like someone is about to poke your stomach.
Not rigid.�Not sucked in.�Just strong and supportive.
Your core was designed to work with your breath, not against it.
