Your core is more than just abs

If you've been hitting ab exercises to build a strong core, you may be missing out on some serious stability (and even mobility) gains. Core training goes way deeper than the bumpy stomach muscles that BIG “fitness” tells you to focus on. Your core isn’t just something you tighten, tone, shred or blast. It’s what connects your entire body. When you begin to train your core with this intent, core training goes way beyond aesthetics. It becomes a practice that supports everything you do in your training and life. I just dropped a new video breaking this down and showing you how to integrate this approach: Inside, I walk through a simple concept of three spheres of stability (inspired by tai chi), and give you 2 exercises to help you actually feel core stability. Watch the Video Here (6 Minutes) If this resonates, this is exactly what we build inside the Core Connection follow along series It’s a 6 session series to help you:

And we came up with a list of moves...
Push-ups used to give me a tight neck, painful shoulders and cranky elbows. I could do em, but they broke me down. I remember when I was working a marketing job in tech. Our startup was growing, and so was my waistline. It was't a ton of weight but I noticed it early and wanted to do something about it. I decided that I'd do 5 pushups for every sale that came in. At first, this was 30-50 pushups a day. But that quickly turned into 100-200 a day. I started sweating through my dress shirt but...
Last weekend, I guided a group of men through movement at a retreat. This wasn't a movement retreat, so I was brought in to facilitate a daily 1 hour practice that met the needs of the attendees. Now, the younger me would've tried to prove myself and my approach by putting together hard workouts with challenging and complex movements. But I've been doing this stuff long enough that I know its more about providing practices that are applicable to whoever I'm guiding. These guys were in their...
