Core exercise should go hand in hand with \u2018working out\u2019. It\u2019s not something we do for a while and then forget about, once we\u2019re back to the fun, sweaty, heavy stuff. Mindful core work needs to be at the forefront of your mind always, and that doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re lifting your 7kg baby out of her cot or an 80kg barbell at the gym. If you throw everything you\u2019ve learned about core out the window once you hit the running track or your local bootcamp, you will risk undoing all your hard work up until this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Putting the time into core exercise and making it part of your every day, for every day going forward as long as you want to be a healthy, happy, functional and strong human being, is the key to making this work and to being able to do the stuff you love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So core exercise isn\u2019t a temporary replacement for the juicy stuff, it\u2019s fundamental to your health, wellbeing and movement from here on out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/join\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Ad-Diastasis-testimonial-1024x384.jpg\" alt=\"Ad Diastasis testimonial\" class=\"wp-image-2179\" width=\"768\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Ad-Diastasis-testimonial-1024x384.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Ad-Diastasis-testimonial-500x188.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Ad-Diastasis-testimonial-768x288.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Ad-Diastasis-testimonial.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You don&#8217;t need harder ab exercises, you need different ones <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You cannot strengthen or build muscles that aren\u2019t functioning optimally.
