I spent months with a physical therapist and could never engage properly. Thank you SO much for this amazing explanation. Wow. I am so grateful I found your videos.

[judithpoole]

I've watched a few dozen videos on the topic of breathing properly while engaging the core. Yours is the first to give me something that I understand. Others are just too vague, imprecise, and worst, not based on scientific knowledge. I'm going to watch more of your content because my core muscles are so weak, the remedial strengthening work intended for childbirth recovery just might be a good place for me to start.

I also find it very difficult to feel whether I'm doing it correctly when lying on my back. But my physio therapist told me that it's easier to do it while lying on your side. And I find it's easier to avoid doing the mistakes you mentioned while on your side.

Wow! Thank you!!! Been a ballet dancer for years and now am a mom of 2 littles and this is by far the best description I have ever heard of how to correctly execute!!!

[giamarie]

Ok. I could feel the area you were telling us to feel engage. It worked. Thank you.

[maevelander]

The zip visualisation really helped. Thanks!

Am i the only one who feels the ab workouts more in their head than abs? i feel like i'm doing something wrong.

[vanessatalavera]

Honestly, i think my core is so weak I cant feel it😣

[Chowderchef]

I appreciate this!!! I knew *how* to do it but it was hard to tell if it was being done correctly

[moniquerolle]

I can't feel it. I'm confused

[totes_muhh_goats]

Um wow, only took me 34 years to learn this. All this time I thought engaging your core was sucking in my stomach.

[kalpanichithra]

So helpful.The imagination really helped and also great ways to check if you are doing it right.Thank you!

[rellas]

This came at the perfect time I was working out earlier and was literally just sucking my stomach in and struggling to breathe. I know it seems so simple but its really not 😁

[ellecoian]

May God bless you and protect you! John 3:16! Have a great day!

[lavenderloco]

I guess from this week I am only gonna practice how to engage my core before the workouts cause I feel nothing 😅

[Kanmani-njju]

Please put English subtitles mam..I am from tamilnadu...

[Vivaanvyomi]

Hey Jessica...hope u r doing good 🤗. Thanks for this video I ll try to engage my core ... I am mother of 3 yr old son... I have a question, I have 2 finger diastisis towards my naval.. is running and skipping good for me?

[kimberlyladouceur]

Is this how you should engage your core during prenatal workouts as well? Or only postnatal?

[happykatelynwatson]

I'm still very confused I've done everything but I cant seem to get it right
