The Thick Thighs Save Lives Podcast
Health & Fitness
Let’s start with the good news: NO MORE CRUNCHES! And the bad news: hey, no bad news here! We do talk about some of the ridiculous ways we’ve all tried to get washboard abs in this episode but let’s keep them in the past. Instead of hyperfocusing on those six glorious rectus abdominis bumps, we are going to hone in on your entire CORE, because we want you to feel strong and stable in your movements, avoid waste of f*cking time exercises, and feel less pain.
Do you really know what makes up your core? Get to know it in today’s episode. Save the crunches for the dinner table, and get the best bang for your buck at the gym. Listen and leave with our top five exercises AND these links to see Kelsea demo the movements. Happy Core Day!:
