If you’ve ever lifted something and thought, “Uh oh… my back”, I feel your pain.

When it happened to me, I didn’t realize how important it is to engage your core when lifting—or even how to do it!

Learning to engage your core isn’t just about avoiding back pain. It’s also a crucial tool for steadier balance, better posture, and exercising more effectively and safely. So, taking the time to learn how to do it (properly!) is one of the best things you can do for yourself.
