Belly Pooch? Try This Core Exercise — No Crunches

Описание: If you struggle with lower belly pooch, weak core muscles, or a core that won’t “turn on” no matter how many crunches or planks you’ve done, this video is for you. In this video, I’ll show you a gentle core exercise that helps fix belly pooch without crunches by retraining your posture, breathing, and nervous system.

Many women — especially over 40 — have been told their core is weak and they just need to “work harder.” But if your ribs are flared, your pelvis is tipped forward, and your nervous system is stuck in a braced or stressed state, traditional core exercises can actually make things worse. That’s why sit-ups, crunches, and even planks often lead to lower back pain, hip flexor tightness, and zero change in the belly.

In this video, I teach the All Four Belly Lift, a posture-based core exercise inspired by principles from the Postural Restoration Institute (PRI). Instead of overworking the six-pack muscles, this exercise:

1. Repositions the rib cage and pelvis
2. Activates the deep core muscles (transverse abdominis and obliques)
3. Integrates breathing to support spinal stability
4. Reduces pressure on the lower back
5. Helps the nervous system shift out of chronic tension

If you’ve ever felt:
👉Your lower back more than your abs during core work
👉A constant belly pooch despite exercising
👉Tight hips, poor posture, or back pain after ab workouts
👉Confused about why your “core is strong” but not functional
…this video will help you understand why traditional core training hasn’t worked — and what to do instead.

This approach is especially helpful for women with anxiety, chronic stress, or long-term tension patterns, because core strength is not just muscular — it’s neurological and positional. When your body feels safe and supported, your core can finally do its job.
