It’s Not Just About Abs
The Core Truth
Nope. Abs ≠ Core. The real strength lies
deeper
than your six-pack.
Think Crunches Give You a Strong Core?
These are hidden muscles like the transverse abdominis, diaphragm, pelvic floor & multifidus. They wrap, stabilize & support your entire body.
Meet Your Deep Core
– Slouchy posture
– Back pain
– Belly bulges during workouts
– Breath-holding while lifting
– Pelvic pressure or leaking
Signs Your Deep Core Is Weak
Improved posture, pain-free back, balanced movement, better breathing—and a stable foundation for your entire body.
Why Deep Core Strength Matters
Pretend someone’s about to punch your belly.
Brace, don’t suck in. That’s your core engaging!
Step 1: Core Bracing
Breathe through your belly, not your chest.
This activates your diaphragm—a key part of your core!
Step 2: Diaphragmatic Breathing
Gently lift the muscles you'd use to stop urinating.
This subtle lift builds inner strength.
Step 3: Pelvic Floor Activation

Top Deep Core Exercises
– Don’t overdo crunches
– Don’t hold your breath
– Don’t ignore deep muscles
– Don’t chase aesthetics over function
What NOT to Do
Train the muscles no one sees—and feel the difference in everything you do.
Real Strength = Deep Core Connection
5 minutes daily → breathe, brace, lift.
Then train 2–3x/week. Small steps = big impact!
Practice Tip
But a strong
deep core
keeps you injury-free, mobile, and truly powerful.
Start today—from the inside out.
Strong abs look good.
