About this listen

If you’ve ever been told to “brace your core” or “tighten your abs” during a workout but still deal with back pain, leaking, or stiffnessthis episode is for you.

We’re unpacking the three most common mistakes people make when trying to protect their core... and why those strategies might actually be doing more harm than good. From sucking in your stomach to flaring your ribs or clenching your glutes, these are all signs that your core is compensating—not stabilizing.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why sucking in isn’t real bracing (and what to do instead)
  • How your ribcage position changes everything
  • What glute or gripping reveals about your deep core

This isn’t about more tensionit’s about better coordination. Tune in to learn how to create true core strength that supports your spine, your movement, and your confidence.
