 Free articles and courses about movement from Bill Hartman at http://uhp.network Episode Overview In this episode, Chris and Bill take aim at the overused and under-defined concept of "core training." They unpack how the term has been inflated into a one-size-fits-all solution for pain, posture, and performance — without coherence or clarity. Drawing on clinical cases, archetypal differences, and system-based reasoning, they challenge the belief that isolated core work translates into better outcomes. Instead, they argue that shape change, pressure management, and breathing strategies drive true performance and resilience. Through sharp critiques and practical examples, the episode reframes "the core" not as something to target — but something that emerges when the system is behaving well. Key Topics & Chapter Highlights 00:00 – Core as a Catch-All Chris opens by calling out how core training has become a default prescription in rehab and fitness — whether or not it's relevant. 02:45 – The Problem with “Core Weakness” Bill highlights how “core” is often blamed without a coherent explanation of what’s actually weak, where, and why. 05:10 – What Does the Core Even Mean? They break down the vagueness of the term itself — anatomical definitions vary, and functional meaning is rarely clear. 08:00 – The Myth of Bracing The discussion shifts to bracing strategies, exposing how they can reduce movement options, increase rigidity, and elevate internal pressure — especially in wide archetypes. 11:25 – Structure Shapes Strategy They explore how narrow and wide ISAs respond differently to load and pressure. “Core work” done in isolation often mismatches structural needs. 14:50 – Breathing vs. Bracing Chris emphasizes that coherent systems don’t need to brace — they breathe. Breathing modulates pressure, supports shape change, and restores variability. 17:30 – Positional Relevance The team discusses how load placement, stance, and archetype determine whether an activity supports or disrupts systemic behavior. 20:20 – Rehab Defaults and Lazy Logic They critique the tendency in clinical settings to assign core training as a blanket intervention, often without resolving the real constraint. 23:00 – A Better Question: What Is This Shape Solving For? Instead of asking how to strengthen the core, they ask what the observed shape is trying to solve. This opens up more relevant, individualized solutions. 26:15 – Core Emerges, It’s Not Targeted They close by stating that “the core” isn’t something to train in isolation. It’s what appears when the system’s timing, shape, and pressure behavior are coherent. Key Takeaways “The Core” Lacks Coherence The term is too vague to be useful. It’s become a placeholder for problems we haven’t fully diagnosed. Bracing is Not the Answer Most core training uses bracing as a fix — but that often compresses options and distorts the system's ability to move. Breath Drives Support Coherent systems don’t stabilize through tension — they use pressure gradients, breath, and timing to support action. Structure Shapes Need Different archetypes demand different strategies. Core work that ignores structure will likely create conflict. Ask Better Questions Instead of treating core weakness as a cause, ask: What is the current shape solving for? What constraint is driving it? Emergence Over Isolation Core integrity isn’t trained — it emerges when the system organizes itself well under load, direction, and breath.
