What if everything you've been told about training your core is wrong?

Pilates instructor and MMIA co-founder Paul Thornley explains why the "core" is a myth — and why hardening it can create the injuries it's meant to prevent. Searchable terms: core myth, core training, why fit people get injured, micro-movement, functional movement.

This episode is about a different way to understand the body: not a machine of parts to stabilize, but a pressurized, fluid system built to rotate, breathe and adapt.

It's for anyone who feels like they're doing all the right things in the gym or studio and still feels something is off in their body.

In this episode:

• Why strong, fit people still get injured
• The myth of the "core" — and what it really should be
• Why the body is a pressure system, and breath is the valve
• How rotation and micro-movement restore energy
• Why small, sustainable change beats pushing the body's limits
