Today’s Gear: Your Body

Welcome to the 30 Days of Core Galore Challenge! Your core includes all the muscles between your shoulders and the bottom of your butt cheeks—and yes, we’re working all of it. We’ll fire up your core using bodyweight, dumbbells, bands, balls, and maybe even a little magic. You’ll move prone, supine, sideways, twisting, standing, upside down—and okay, maybe not levitating... but never say never.

Why is a strong core such a big deal? Because it:
- Stabilizes your spine and pelvis
- Improves posture and alignment
- Enhances balance and coordination
- Reduces risk of injury (especially low back pain)
- Boosts power in every movement—from lifting heavy to dancing hard
- Helps you look damn good in a crop top (just saying)

You know what else makes your core work way better? Breathing correctly.

Today is Day One of the 30 Days of Core Galore Challenge and I’m so excited to have orthopedic physical therapist and women’s health specialist Alicia Roberts here to cue us on how to breathe properly to get the most out of every rep. Your diaphragm is part of your core too—let’s wake her up. And while we’re at it, your pelvic floor needs to contract and relax correctly too—she’s a key player in creating real, functional core strength (and no, kegels aren’t the whole story).

The first five days of this challenge are bodyweight only, so you can jump in anytime, anywhere. But after that? You’re absolutely going to want a few key pieces of equipment to take things to the next level.

Grab everything you need in my Amazon store—just search “30 DAYS OF CORE GALORE CHALLENGE” and stock up. A few small tools = a giant impact on your strength, stability, and results.

Let’s get after it. Your core will thank you—even if your abs don’t at first.
