Embrace Your Real

8 sneaky things stopping you from building a stronger core

29 Sep 2025

Description

Hey, hey beautiful human… Welcome back to another episode of Embrace Your Real. Today we are diving into something that almost every woman asks me about at some point: How do I actually build a strong core? You've probably done the ab workouts on YouTube, you've probably cranked out crunches or planks at the end of your workouts, and maybe you've even felt the burn, but you still don't feel stronger in your core.  If you're wondering why you don't "see" all that effort in the mirror, I've got the answer you've been looking for… there are sneaky little mistakes that so many women make when it comes to core training. And today, I want to break those down for you in plain English so you understand not only what they are, but why they matter, and what to do instead. So in this episode, we're going to cover: The difference between abs and your actual core Why crunches alone won't cut it How compound lifts are secretly the best core training Why bracing during your lifts matters more than you think The problem with fast, flashy ab circuits How stress and hormones sneak in and mess with your core And why nutrition and recovery are the real secret sauce for definition and strength   🎧 Want more?
