Did this for the first time today! Going to carry on this 10 minute a day core experiment! Thanks!

I’m in the process of researching as much as I can about the core and pelvic floor, and came across your blog :) I really resonate with your statement “A lot of people that that our core refers to our abs, but… it goes waaaaay beyond that.”!

As an elite track and field athlete and performance coach, I really try to teach my athletes (and remind myself) that it’s NOT ABOUT CRUNCHES! Learning the actions of all the core and pelvic floor muscles is so important to align your body and get the best performances!

Yes! This is so true. And I'm very glad the days of doing endless sit-ups are behind us - give me a plank any day!

Core strength is especially important as you age! I caught myself slouching as I was reading this, so maybe it's time for me to try your ten minute core workout. Thanks for sharing!

So true - it gets more and more important as life goes on

So helpful! I fell 2 years ago through an open doorway and my pain is more mid back. It is usually not too bad, but I'm sure core strength will be of help. My husband could use it too!

I should have also said: listen to your body, and don’t do anything that hurts. Good luck 💪
