As a fitness coach who’s helped everyone from teens to senior citizens, I’ve seen it time and again: the strongest cores don’t always come from crunches… they come from purposeful movement. When clients learn to stabilize, rotate, and resist force, everything improves: posture, power, pain reduction, and confidence.
Been glued to your desk for hours? Your glutes aren’t thrilled about it. In fact, they’ve probably clocked out—overstretched, underused, and wondering if you’ve forgotten they exist. When the glutes go offline, your pelvis tilts, your spine complains, and before you know it, you’re walking around like you’re twice your age. Meanwhile, your hip flexors are living their best (shortened) life, pulling everything forward, while your abs quietly throw in the towel from neglect. But don’t worry, your backside can bounce back. Just don’t wait until you need a search party to find it.
