When I Say Core, You Say...Abs?

You know the thing when you say a word so many times it starts to sound really weird and kind lose its meaning altogether? LIke if I say cucumber cucumber cucumber cucumber cucumber cucumber cucumber you get the picture...
I feel that way about “core.”
What does core even mean anymore? What is everyone talking about? What are they even saying? And what are they trying to communicate with me?
To me, core, the way that it's thrown around gyms and studios, is meaningless at this point.
In this episode I explain...
- Gripping your butt cheeks isn't using your "core"
- In Pilates we say POWERHOUSE, not core
- Why we use the pelvic floor as the gateway to your powerhouse in Pilates For Your Privates
- Abs are one sixth of your "core" so it's not even about your abs!

She is a master of developing recipes that dirty minimal dishes, require minimal brainpower, use fewer ingredients, and require less time - but still absolutely rock.
