What is going on guys? Welcome back to another episode of the Air

Air Robert's Fitness Podcast. I hope you're having the best day you've ever had in your entire life.

We got a Q&A today. We're gonna dive right into it, so let's go.

First question coming from R.B. Levy on Instagram. If you are actively engaging your core while exercising is a specific

ab workout necessary too. What a great question and let's talk about it. So for those of you who don't know,

when you are doing things like squats,

deadlifts, overhead presses, shoulder presses,

bent over rows, bicep curls even to a degree,

your core has to be working during those exercises. So if you're doing

strength training you are actively working your core because let's take a

deadlift for example when you're doing a deadlift, for example. When you're doing a deadlift, you have to actively

engage and brace your core to keep your spine neutral

to be able to do the deadlift without having major back pain and things of that nature.

So and also just like to be able to move that amount of weight you're going to move in a deadlift,

your body has to stabilize yourself which is working your core.

When you're doing something like a squat, same concept.

When you're doing something like a laying down,

like bench press, for example,

your core is still working because you have to stabilize your body, have to stabilize the weight, stabilize your muscles.

So you are getting core work done if you are doing proper strength training.

So with that being said, I don't think you need to spend a ton of extra time on your core,

but let me go a little bit more in-depth here on this.
