Your core isn't your abs. It never was.
If you've been doing ab work and still feel unstable, this is the episode
that explains why — and what to do instead.
True core strength isn't about squeezing harder. It's a pressure system
built by 5 specific muscles working together. When all five engage, core
stability becomes automatic. When even one is missing, everything
compensates.
In this episode I'm breaking down the 5 Muscle Formula:
✦ Transverse Abdominis — the wrap that creates internal pressure
✦ Obliques — the rotational anchors that stabilize side-to-side
✦ Hamstrings — the posterior chain that completes your base
✦ Serratus Anterior — the upper anchor most people never train
✦ Adductors — the surprising muscle that ties everything together
These five muscles are interlocking gears. When they work together,
you stop thinking about your core — because it just works.
This is your deep core activation reset.

✅ About Alison Starr.
Welcome to my channel! I’m Alison and I help women feel strong, steady, and at home in their bodies.
If you’ve practiced yoga for years but lately it leaves you sore, stiff, or unsatisfied—you’re not alone. Your body is changing: muscle, hormones, recovery, energy. And your practice needs to evolve too.
Here you’ll find science-backed, strength-infused, yoga-inspired movement for women 35–65 who want to stay healthy, active, and strong through midlife and beyond. I blend yoga asana, strength training, movement science, functional breathing, and nervous-system strategies for smart and sustainable practice.
