More on Your Core: How to breathe normally while engaging your core

[@LB4194]

Wow… Everyone is just saying “engage your core,” but nobody explains it. Perfect explanation. Thank you very much sir

[@HexPixie7]

As someone with ADHD I struggle very hard with understanding how to stretch correctly without over doing it or hurting myself, this video has literally made me fully understand how to tense my stomach without feeling like I'm gunna explode! Thank you so much now fixing my posture and and strengthening my core will actually be done right ❤

[@fit2function528]

You are welcome, I'm glad that it was able to help!

[@TheAnovotny]

You just gained a new subscriber. I keep hearing engage your core but I had no idea what "engage your core" meant. You are the only one that actually provided a simplistic explanation.

[@jorgeperez2464]

3 years ago but this video will help forever!

[@fit2function528]

Thank you!

[@elkalai02]

thanks so much, the clean explanation is 1) core= two part of the mucle below the belly 2) activation with small potieror tilt

[@dragonwoah7983]

thank you sir. idk why ive been crying about this, but i was. i have been working out all summer very confused what people in exercise videos mean when they say "engage your core." they never explained it and they never explained how important it was so i never bothered to look it up until now! at least i feel stronger in my abs now and it wasnt an entire waste. im still a little confused and worried that im doing it wrong, but thank you so much because i understand it a lot better now. i will keep working on it and test it out tomorrow when i go to the gym. thank you again!

[@acm8661]

Wow thank you so much for explaining! I couldn't understand what other trainers in youtube meant to "tighten your core, engage you core" 😭❤️

[@helgalinuxen9497]

Omg, I finally get it!!! Tysm!! All the other tutorials was like do this amd do that complicated breathing whatever, but when you explained it, I got it fast!! All I have to do was that simple thing and I can feel the brace😮. Thank you for this!!

[@izmizcha955]

This changes so much. Thanks a lot! You've helped me more than any one else I've found so far!

[@Kayraeraeokay_official]

Oh my gosh I’ve been trying to figure this out for like 15 years! Thank you!!

[@skyeeeeee9660]

Thank you so much! Your explanation is so easy to understand! ❤

[@fit2function528]

You are welcome, I'm glad it made sense and hope it helps!

[@ggg-uu4io]

you're a lifesaver man

[@lilnorry]

Aye bro thank you man I’m sharing this with family and friends

[@pimphoochana1350]

When starting out and practicing, is it normal to still feel like it’s hard to breath? I try it and it is definitely better than what I was trying to do before your video. But should I be able to have a full conversation right off the bat? Thank you! This has already helped!

[@fit2function528]

I'm glad that this has helped! It won't make holding a convention instantly effortless, that is because your diaphragm has to get used to expanding your lung. As you keep training these muscles it will get easier and easier.

[@themystery2152]

This is very helpful. Thanks!

[@chiakilovemeback46]

thanks so much man!!!!! helped me so much

[@zameelvisharathodi7859]

Great!. Most videos don't explain this.

[@fit2function528]

[@henrylucas1961]

[@camrynd9127]

[@tomwolthuis3685]

I have this... Feels like my back is split in two and I breath really short and fast. Have already 15 years problems with my back and being more and more instable.

[@jkboa5]

Brilliant video - thank you so much!

[@imadoge5036]

Does having a stronger core mean that it is easier to breathe while having them engaged? Or having a strong core doesn't matter as much in this case? Also very helpful video!

[@scandrasorianososa4442]

omg!!C YOU ARE THE BEST!! THANKS!!!

[@brismaegi]

Great job!

[@KikuPiku-b2p]

Like if Iam doing calisthenics skills like Front lever etc with Posterior pelvic tilt Is it good to use sandwich drill to brace core And If I want to Breath normally while engaging core I have to focus on lowet abs? Coz I can breath but my abs form bread loaf 😢 also disengages Obliques

[@7riplo]

Hell yeah I put that thumb up boiii

[@flomccarther5632]

Thanks!

[@kaig7241]

So i get good vibes from you and have been struggling with this and developed pelvic floor dysfunction which i have had for 2 years. Is there anyway i can contact you? Great video

[@potrelviewer9536]

No matter how many methods I try to learn to engage those core muscles, nothing works at all. As a pro French horn player, I've only learned how to engage the diaphragm muscle, and thus leaving all the other core muscles unattended for at least 20 years. Even just slightly activating thos dormant muscles brings me on the brink of apnea indirectly. I honestly am considering entering a Functional Rehab Center; hopefully I can resolve this lingering issue, otherwise a life of bedriddence awaits me...

[@idksoiputthis2332]

So I guess we basically want to suck in (or contract) the lower abs only, but not to much to where we can't breath normally?

[@fit2function528]

You got it

[@themetascientist]

Should pelvic floor / kegel muscles be engaged as part of constant core engagement?

[@fit2function528]

Yes they all should be working together. As you get more control and endurance you will start to see where keeping those muscles engaged doesn't take much, and breathing becomes much easier.

[@themetascientist]

thank you!

[@MyEvilCreeper]

Please correct me if I am wrong, so you don't have to directly squeeze the abs and breathe? All I have to do is realign the pelvis and that automatically squeezes them muscles?

[@akhil1753]

Breathe and brace for heavy lifting. Brace and breathe for the rest.

[@thuynguyenngoc1547]

I dont understand some words in this video because english is not my first language so I can not breathe while engaging my core . COuld someone explain it to me please? Thanks

[@catiabarradas1882]

thank you

[@incimlolo3623]

Is it normal to feel that I'm not able to talk while engaging my core? It's really hard to keep the core engaged during workout

[@nidhikumari4458]

I m loosing weight but not getting abs...doing exercises, controlling diet, doing cardio but still not getting abs..can you please here

[@ramadassivasankaran4681]

Beautiful

[@FlameHashiraAries]

So I tried to run but when I ran while trying to keep my core engaged I felt even more tired than when I didn't. Is this normal

[@adityakamath6245]

for running you should close your mouth and be breathing from your stomach

[@feliciau3368]

hello! Man I have a problem... Is it possible that your organs may be pushing your stomach out? If this is the case, will tightening your core muscles eventually bring all this back in. I don't have a lot of fat on top of my core muscles, I'm not a large girl. I thought I was bloated but im not, there's no baby, hernia, tumor etc. and this is the only thing I can think of. My stomach already pokes out but when i eat its baaad! Please advise :)

[@preckle]

Yes it should do. I have a similar problem. I have separated abdominal muscles/diastisis rectis, look it up you my have it too.

[@ricedratiny7796]

whoever said brac efor a sucker punch lied

[@cinmac3]

I can't deactivatemy core¿

[@lazer.e4946]

Im confused

[@GR412]

I hope you don't mind, but i'm wondering if that pelvic tilt is similar to what this guy is doing in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmGrq4ujaMqjd7c is it the same sort of thing? Great video too, thanks!

[@fit2function528]

Yes! that is a great video and a perfect explanation of how to do a pelvic tilts, and other exercises to learn to control your core. Thanks for sharing it.

Me poking while laughing bc I’m ticklish. I hate
