Core Challenge: Day 3
Core Breath with Dynamic Cross Body Integration
Today we introduce contra-lateral movement (opposite arms and legs). This not only challenges your core but also your brain!
Why This Matters
Challenge your brain and core with cross-body and anti-rotation drills.
Builds stronger stability and control under more load
Teaches your core to resist unwanted movements (anti-rotation)
Improves body awareness (especially ribcage positioning)
Inside Today’s Video 🎥
You’ll practice:
Cross-body movements that integrate the whole body
Anti-rotation drills (resist, don’t twist!)
Awareness of ribcage position for better core activation

Key Takeaway
Core work isn’t just about strength — it’s also about coordination, control, and awareness.
Postpartum women usually have a flared ribcage, and you could have a narrow or wide ribcage which I don’t go into great detail in this challenge. Bringing awareness to your ribcage in core exercises is a sneaky tip that can be a game-changer to where you feel work in your core.
👉 Tomorrow, we’ll take it off the floor and explore core control on hands and knees.
