Do this NOT that CORE edition!

If we don’t train our core in a way that supports our nervous system, spine, and stability, we end up with compensations, tension, and instability. Core Do’s & Don’ts (That Might Surprise You!) ✔️ Do use isometrics to signal safety to your spine and nervous system, reducing compensations. Don’t do core exercises that strain your spine and SI joint. 💡 Pro tip: Doing isometrics before planks is a great way to get more out of them! ✔️ Do nourish your nervous system by moving through spinal reflexes like Spinal Galant and Symmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex. Don’t rely on crunches, which reinforce the core withdrawal reflex (your nervous system’s way of pulling inward when in survival mode). Crunches also mimic the posture most people sit in all day! ✔️ Do balance all sides of your core for full-body strength. The two quick isometrics in the video above incorporate all three of these Do’s—supporting your nervous system, engaging spinal reflexes, and creating full-core balance!
