Deep Core home workouts

The not-so-secret weapon to B The Method, this series will help you create the foundation for a stronger body. Everything is connected through our core.

Why Does Core Strength Matter?

Your core is made up of seven muscle groups which form a three dimensional support system linking your upper and lower body. These muscles are multilayered, with some situated deeply and others more shallow. The stronger those layers get, the more stable your body becomes.

Lia's Tips for Deep Core Exercises

Something you’ll hear again and again during B the Method videos is “engage your core”. Engaging your core means consciously activating the muscle groups in your midsection – abs, lower back, sides, pelvis, and hips – kind of like you’re bracing for a punch in the stomach.

1

Mind-Muscle Connection

Before starting, take a moment to focus on your core. Visualize the muscles working as you perform each movement. This mental focus helps you target the correct muscles.

2

Proper Breathing

Despite maintaining activated core muscles, it’s important to BREATHE! When performing core exercises, exhale during the most challenging part of the movement, such as when contracting during a crunch, and inhale during the easier, or return phase. Don’t hold your breath!

3

Maintain a Neutral Pelvis

A neutral pelvis is achieved when your pelvic bone is in a position that allows the spine to be in its natural curvature, neither excessively arched nor overly flattened. This is the key for balanced core muscle activation.
