About the program

Welcome to, "To the Core," Deep Core Program. Strengthen your core and feel your best through all phases of life. Since having my daughter, I have been intrigued with the human body and how to heal and strengthen the core before, during, and after pregnancy. I soon realized after long studies that endless crunches and sit-ups were not the answer and may be causing more damage than we think. So, I took it upon myself to create core workouts that didn't include extensive sit-ups and crunches and shared them on social media where there have gone viral and have showed men and women a whole new way to train the core. I'm so excited to share everything I've learned with you and help you have the strongest core possible. It doesn't matter if you're newly pregnant, postpartum, or looking to train and lift heavier, you can benefit from this series. In this program you are going to learn how to breathe correctly and I'm going to provide you with tips that you can easily incorporate into your life to help you strengthen your core and pelvic floor. A strong core can help improve posture, balance, stability, help prevent lower back pain and injury, and help eliminate fatigue during workouts. You'll also see improvements in your training such as your bigger lifts like deadlifts and squats and also your daily movements will become improved. This program is for EVERYONE and every fitness level. You can incorporate these workouts into your weekly training program. I suggest doing one or two of these exercise 1-2x per week on top of your regular training regimen. You can repeat these exercises as long as you want while still seeing great results. This program was created to change your life for the better whether you’re wanting to become stronger before or after pregnancy, wanting to improve your strength training, or improve your overall movement in your daily life. Now lets get, "To the Core."

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I do these exercises while Pregnant?
    Yes, but all 1st consult with your Primary Care Physician and are cleared to exercise. These workouts will really help you keep your core and pelvic floor strong while pregnant. Learning to breathe is an optimal benefit to helping with labor and having your baby all the way to the recovery on your postpartum journey.
    Can I do these exercises Postpartum?
    Yes, start with breathing exercises and practicing those techniques before you move on to more challenging movements. I would begin with workout #1 around 2-3 weeks PP (if your body is feeling up to it) you know your body best and repeat it for 2 weeks. From there you could start performing the other workouts each week after.
    What are the Goals of "To the Core"?
    This program will help: 1. Improve posture, balance, and stability. 2. Prevent lower back pain and injuries. 3. Help eliminate fatigue during workouts. 4. Help improve performance in other lifts and daily movements.
    How will get the best results?
    Incorporate 1-2 of the workouts into your weekly workout schedule and focus on mastering each movement and breathing technique. Switch up the workouts each week and don't be afraid to repeat workouts. Always be mindful, move with control, and connect your breathing with the movement. In addition to this program, focus on these as well: 1. Get proper sleep. 2. Focus on healthy nutrition habits. 3. Drink water 4. Dedicate days to active rest or full recovery days. 5. Cold Plunge & Sauna (If you access). 6. Shoot for 120 min of liss cardio weekly.
