In Core Strength Is Your Superpower: It's Not a Cliché, and Here's Why, award-winning fitness educator Tracy L. Markley explains why the core is one of the most important foundations of human movement-and why thinking of it as simply a six-pack misses the whole picture.

Your core is made up of 29 muscles, including deep muscles that help stabilize your spine, pelvis, and torso. Throughout this book, Tracy explains how your core connects to the rest of your body and why a strong center matters for functional movement.

You will learn about the relationship between core strength and:

  • Good posture and skeletal alignment
  • Fall prevention
  • Spatial awareness and proprioception
  • Standing up before walking
  • Stable hips and pelvis
  • Stable knees
  • Feet and ankle stability
  • Shoulder joint alignment
  • Balance
  • A safe walking gait
  • Arm movement and spinal rotation
  • Maintaining a healthy body weight
Tracy also explains some of the deeper muscles that are often overlooked, and other muscles that contribute to the body's stability and movement.

The book includes powerful real-life stories from Tracy's years of working with clients, including older adults and stroke survivors. These stories show what can happen when people understand how to engage their core, improve their posture, and consistently work on movement.

Tracy shares four powerful core-strengthening exercises with different levels and options, including standing, balance work, and seated variations. The book also includes the core muscle illustrations so you can see how your superpower team connects throughout your body.

This is not simply a book about getting stronger abs.
