‘Engage your core.’ ‘Keep your core tight.’ ‘Work your core.’ You often get told to activate the core muscle group, but what is it and how do you do it? 🤔 Jen Devonshire, PT, Pilates and yoga teacher, and founder of Pause2Perform says that it’s more than just your tummy muscles. "The core doesn’t just include your abdominals, but also your glutes and lower back, which are very involved in maintaining the stability of the torso," she explains. "By working these muscles as well as the abdominal muscles, core work is a great way to prevent lower back pain." There are a number of other health benefits to having a strong core, too! That's why we've put together a way for you to get a stronger core in just 12 minutes — tap the link in bio to read the workout (and thank us later). 👆🔗
