Hey friends! If you’re looking to strengthen your core without diving into a complicated workout routine, I’ve got two simple steps for you. Seriously, it’s as easy as pie!
Step 1: Focus on Your Breathing
It might sound a bit odd, but mastering proper breathing techniques is key. Take a deep breath in through your nose, letting your belly expand. Then exhale slowly through your mouth, pulling your belly button toward your spine. This not only engages your core muscles but also helps you relax.
