Yes! Love the proper form tutorials!!

P.S. any chance you could potentially link your favorite workout gear or what you’re wearing?

In this tutorial I am going to go over how to do a proper bird-dog. 

This is one movement that I see done improperly all the time. 

The goal is not to go as high and fast as you can with these, but rather to reach your foot and opposite hand as far out as you can while stabilizing your core and hips. Nothing should move (hips or torso) as you use your core to pull your knee and elbow together.

The goal is to stay as still and stable in your your position as you move only your extremeties.

Appreciate the reminder! it’s something I’ve tried to be more conscious of lately after reading your core guide

Tricia

I purchased your core guide but would love tutorials on this app to make things easier for me because I am a kinesthetic learner and learn best when I have guidance like you have been giving via this app. It's like you are talking directly to me to guide me which is the best. Diaphragmatic breathing is hard and I have DR and prolapse plus hernia as well. So it's vital I learn the proper technique since I am doing body building competition in the next 2 years. Thank you for doing what you do. We all love and support you.

What is diaphragmatic breathing?

Nice reminder and demonstration! I did it while stretching after my workout to practice more

Janine Ducharme

Says 5 minutes and the video was only 47 seconds, was confused as to what to do for the remainder of the time.

Former chest breather here! SO glad you have these extra video's on top of the workouts! Definitely indulging in this! ♡

Diaphragmatic Breathing Tutorial

Yes! Love this! Your explanations into detail and anatomy and function make so much more sense! Thank you!

I appreciate education about all aspects of the core and not just a highlight reel of how to get a six pack 😝

Jordan Mastera

So helpful! I bought the core guide and I have been loving it so far! I can tell that I am beginning to properly breathe and my inner core unit is getting stronger!

Inner vs outer core

Hannah, this is fantastic information thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in an understandable way!!💓

Not really seeing exercises to build core strength systematically, and with diastasis recti prevention

Shantel

Hannah has a wealth of knowledge. She seems to really care about being able to get helpful information out to everyone in a way that we can understand and learn easily. Thankful for the many many different resources she has! .

How to breathe during exercise

Amazing info . I was an athlete for 24 years and after having 4 kiddos I thought that I just have to deal with that bulging. Now I need to work on it . Thank you

This is great. I’ve had coning since high school gym. No one has ever corrected it!

IAP examples- ways to modify

I’m a little confused as why the videos all cut off before they seem to be finished. I would love to know how to fix it!

Shalee

Thank you. I feel I have a lot to learn and think some of my back pain/ issues may be from this. Excited to learn more

Writing in white hard to read and too small. Stop. Insert a box for people to read. Makes it better quality.

Tips for Understanding IAP

In active breathing, specifically during the dead bug exercise in this Coning & Bulging video, when exactly are you inhaling?

Alissa

Sooo helpful! Especially the picture at the very end with that POV.

Taylor

Coning & Bulging

Hi there!! This video was so helpful as I am now 6.5 months pregnant. I am starting to experience pelvic pain and issues if I’m walking too much or “over do it”. I know I need to work on this pretty much immediately and I plan to! With my membership here do I have the full plan or do I need to get anything else? I want to get started right away.

Carly Cashman-Crespo

Much more informative than the last video

Courtney

This was the first video I watched being on this app. My goal is to learn more about and strengthen my own core and this got me understanding a lot already and more excited to keep going

Demonstration of Uncontrolled Intra Abdominal Pressure

I have a quick question. I’am one of those individuals that when looking at me I have skinny or toned legs and arms my stomach looks like I’am pregnant but I’am not nor have I ever been. Is there any specific workouts or moves I can do to help my core. I’ve been this way since I was a kid. Thank you for your time and amazing effort for this awesome app and workouts. Hope all is well. ☺️

Jaclyn

This video helped me more because of the pictures and videos that you pointed and went into detail on. You was very detailed and it helped me understand it alot better!
