Your core does so much more than you think—it’s the foundation of your posture, balance, and everyday movement. Strengthening it doesn’t require fancy equipment or long workouts.

Try this simple activation tip:
✨ Stand tall, gently pull your belly button toward your spine, and hold for 5–10 seconds.
✨ Keep breathing naturally.
✨ Repeat a few times a day.

These small, consistent moments of movement add up—helping you build strength, reduce back pain, and move with greater stability every day.

Stay consistent, stay strong, and keep moving with purpose!
