Save some energy by recruiting your tummy muscles during day to day activities.

Tired of feeling fatigued and sluggish during your workouts or everyday activities?

The solution may be as simple as focusing on your form and engaging your core.

Proper form and core engagement are essential for any type of exercise or movement, from weightlifting to yoga, from ballet to barre and even kickboxing. When you maintain proper form - this means standing up straight with your shoulders relaxed and your core engaged. Imagine a string pulling you up from the top of your head, elongating your spine. This will help you maintain stability and balance throughout the class - you recruit the correct muscles and avoid placing undue stress on your joints, which can help prevent injury and improve your overall performance.

When you engage your core, you activate the muscles that support your spine and pelvis, which can improve your overall posture and alignment.

Prolong your energy levels

The benefits of form and core engagement go beyond just injury prevention and improved posture. By focusing on your form and engaging your core, you can actually prolong your energy levels and reduce fatigue.

When you maintain proper form, you are able to perform exercises more efficiently and with greater control. This means that you use less energy to perform the same movement, which can help you conserve energy and reduce fatigue. When you engage your core, you activate the muscles that support your spine and pelvis, which can help you maintain good posture and alignment, reduce muscle fatigue, and prevent injuries.

Focusing on your form and engaging your core can help you stay mentally present in the moment. When you are mentally present and focused on your movements, you are less likely to get distracted or bored, which can help you maintain your energy levels and stay motivated throughout your workout or activity.

In conclusion, proper form and core engagement are crucial for injury prevention, improved posture, and overall physical performance. But they also have the added benefit of prolonging your energy levels and reducing fatigue. So next time you hit the barre class or your yoga mat, remember to focus on your form, engage your core, and stay mentally present in the moment. Your body (and your energy levels) will thank you!
