How to Build a Strong Core – the Right Way! 💪 Core training shouldn't be guesswork. Here's a systematic progression we use daily in clinical practice: THE ROUTINE: 1️⃣ Plank (2x30 seconds) - Cue: ""Pull elbows toward toes"" for full engagement. Knee modification for early rehab. 2️⃣ Segmental Curl-Up (2x30 seconds) - One vertebra at a time. Teaches proper motor control and recruits deep core musculature. 3️⃣ Dead Bug Anti-Rotation (2x30 seconds) - Add resistance band for anti-rotation challenge

You can build true core strength — no crunches required. 🙌 In our Standing Core Progression, Kelly walks you through gentle, functional movements that strengthen your deep core without strain. Perfect for anyone healing from diastasis recti, back pain, or pelvic floor issues.
