Description
Endless crunches and planks rarely build the strong core people are chasing and in this episode, Aly explains why. The real bottleneck is pressure management: how the diaphragm, pelvic floor, and transverse abdominis coordinate as a system, not isolated parts. She walks through the sequencing that gets these muscles firing in the right order, and explains why alignment between ribcage and pelvis matters more than how hard you're working. And an added benefit is a quieter nervous system. Pulled from a fan-favorite segment on abdominal coning and doming, this episode hands you a five-minute reset you can run through anywhere, whether that's flat on the floor, hands and knees, or standing at the kitchen counter. Anyone stuck cycling through core work without relief, especially those dealing with lower back pain or pelvic floor dysfunction.
