Breathing and Wall Bracing

Lying on your back with your feet on the floor and your hands pressing gently into the wall helps you find a stacked, neutral position where your core can truly engage.
Pressing into the wall turns on your upper core and lats, while your lower back stays lightly connected to the floor. From here, you practice 360° breathing into your ribs and belly without flaring. As you exhale, you create gentle tension and maintain it while continuing to breathe.

This exercise teaches real bracing mechanics — the kind that keeps your spine supported during squats, hinges, carries, and every heavy lift.
