Are You Disconnected? 5 Sneaky Signs Your Core Is Sleeping on the Job
It's time to Reconnect to Your Core
Let’s talk about something most people ignore…
Not on purpose. Just because they don’t even realize it’s happening.
Core disconnection.
It creeps in slowly.
One skipped workout turns into a month.
One stressful season becomes the new normal.
One tiny ache spreads to your back, your neck, your knees...
And suddenly, your core, the system that’s supposed to stabilize and support you, goes quiet.
It’s not gone.
It’s just asleep.
Waiting for you to wake it back up.
So how do you know your core’s hit snooze?
Here are 5 sneaky signs:
1. You’re always catching yourself slouching.
Your spine’s not broken. But your deep core isn’t firing. That leads to poor posture, hunched shoulders, and that classic “I just feel stiff” complaint.
2. You’re wobbling more than you used to.
Balance is one of the first things to go when your core isn’t doing its job. That little trip over the dog bowl? Yep. That counts.
3. You’ve got mystery back pain.
When the core checks out, your back checks in — doing all the heavy lifting (literally). Over time, your spine starts complaining.
4. You’re breathing up in your chest.
A connected core means your diaphragm, pelvic floor, and abdominals are all working together. Shallow chest breathing? That’s a red flag.
5. You feel “off” but can’t explain why.
It’s subtle. But when your center’s out of sync, everything feels harder. You’re tired faster. Your movements feel clumsy. You just don’t feel solid.
Good news?
You can reconnect.
Not by doing a hundred sit-ups.
Not by signing up for a bootcamp.
Just by moving with intention.
Breathing with purpose.
And waking things up one small step at a time.
That’s exactly what we’re doing starting September 1st inside the Core Reconnection.
And you’re invited.
