How to Use Your Core for Better Control and Stability

“Use your core” is often said—but rarely explained.

Your core stabilises your movement so your arms and legs can work freely.

It should feel:

• Engaged, but not rigid

• Supportive, not tense

Without core control:

• Turns wobble

• Frame collapses

• Balance becomes unreliable

Practice tip:

Imagine gently bracing your midsection as if preparing to move—not holding your breath.
