Episode 201 – Overrated vs Underrated: Core Training
Core training is one of the most misunderstood parts of fitness because most people are following an outdated roadmap. In this Overrated vs Underrated episode, I’m breaking down the core exercises that get way too much credit, and the ones that are often missing that are integral in building strength for real life, injury resilience, and better lifts. We’ll talk about why anti-movement work and “just squat and deadlift” aren’t enough, why unstable-surface chaos isn’t helping, and what better core training looks like. If you’re tired of feeling like your core work isn’t getting you anywhere and want core training that actually changes how your body feels, this one’s for you.

Hi, I'm Dr. Jen Hosler.
I’m a bookworm, science nerd, and coach of all things movement (physical therapist and strength & mobility coach). You can catch me sleeping in & having a slow morning, doing CARs & lifting heavy things, or sipping a glass of wine on my time off.
Through a blend of strength & mobility training, I’ll help you master your movement & build a more resilient body that won’t hold you back from all the activities you love doing.

That’s where I come in – with my personalized asssessment and 1-on-1 programming, I will tailor a plan specific to your individual needs so you can feel better and tackle your goals.
