@coach.eli: “I flex my abs in my chair to fix my posture” 🫣 People tell me all the time they do this. Oh, I get it. I did it too. For years. “Actively engage your core bro” This can make things worse. Why? It creates (over time) an unconscious pattern A pattern of bracing (which creates MORE tension in the body) Our goal is to REDUCE tension throughout our day So it’s actually doing the opposite of what we want It’s fine to do here and there for a minute. If we really want to fire up our core then try a crawl hold. This will help strengthen the body and stabilizer muscles. Which will allow us to sit with a tall spine a bit easier throughout the day. Which means less tension. Try it out.
