About this episode
Is your core training actually helping your running? In this episode, Dr. Lisa breaks down the four essential muscles that make up your core, why traditional ab exercises may not be enough, and how proper breathing and alignment can transform your strength and efficiency. A strong core isn't just about crunches and planks—it’s about training your body to stabilize with every step. Learn how to activate all four core muscles, improve your breathing, and prevent compensations that could lead to injury.
