You know the thing when you say a word so many times it starts to sound really weird and kind lose its meaning altogether? LIke if I say cucumber cucumber cucumber cucumber cucumber cucumber cucumber you get the picture…
I feel that way about “core.”

To me, core, the way that it's thrown around gyms and studios, is meaningless at this point.
In this episode I explain…
