89 "Core" Myths and Misconceptions: Community Conversations with Jenni Tarma

This podcast episode explores the myths and misconceptions surrounding the core. The speakers discuss the lack of a clear definition for the core and how social and general media perpetuate the belief that the core is solely about having visible abs. They emphasize that core strength and stability are more complex than just having a six-pack and highlight the importance of a balanced approach to core strengthening. The conversation also debunked misconceptions about core stability, such as the idea that excessive muscle activation is necessary for stability and that a ripped six-pack defines a strong and healthy core. The speakers encourage a more nuanced understanding of core health, stability, and movement intelligence, emphasizing the individualized nature of recovery and the need for creating a safe and supportive environment.
