THIS WAS IT!!! This was the missing piece!!! Ive been working out for the past 3 years off and on. In the past I've been discouraged and stopped due to muscle imbalances and lower back pain. I knew it had to do with my core but no matter how much I trained the pain would randomly come back. I can feel the difference immediately after performing these excersies! I can finally feel my glutes when I walk as well. Thank you SO MUCH!!!! This information changed my life forever

I know this video is 4 years old, but another important thing that many people don't consider is that when you do the "drawing in" maneuver, (which is interestingly one of the steps of the Vasalva maneuver) you also can and should actively engage your pelvic floor muscles, (your pee and poop start and stop muscles, lol, since i also had to look up what the pelvic floor muscles were) because this plus your diaphragm are the bottom and top of the core musculature, which, along with your fascia, creates a solid "barrel" or framework inside of you that your other muscles can pull upon with more strength and stability. When I flex my entire core and walk around, I can literally feel my arms and legs getting stronger and easier to move,and when I relax my core. And if you do it right, you can continue to breathe normally even with your diaphragm actively engaged because it IS designed to be actively engaged when breathing.

I discovered the importance of engaging my abdominal muscles when my back problem first arose. I diligently practiced it for a few days, but eventually, it slipped from my mind until the back pain resurfaced. I attempted various stretching exercises for the psoas, hamstrings, calves, and more, as well as core training, yet the fatigue in my back persisted. It was then that I came across your video, in which you passionately explained the significance of the "drawing in maneuver." To my astonishment, once I started incorporating this technique, I found myself capable of completing my tasks. Your enthusiasm is contagious, and your message made a profound impact on me. Thank you, Doctor.

This seems to be doing the same thing as laying on my back, knees bent, and pushing your low back into the floor and holding. That was an exercise given to me by a chiropractor years ago. Time to get doing this again.

The bodybuilders of Schwarzenegger's era called them "vacuums". They did those instead of sit-ups.

Years ago in boxing training we always talked about this as “engaging your core”.  This is great info and a helpful reminder for folks who have anterior pelvic tilt!  Engage your core and your pelvis naturally pulls in the proper direction.
