When Strength Isn't Enough
What if the secret to preventing devastating injuries wasn't about getting stronger, but about getting smarter with your body? Consider this: women tear their ACLs four to six times more often than men, not because they're weaker, but because something fundamental is missing in how we understand core stability. Over 100,000 ACL surgeries happen annually in the US, and 50 million adults lose 500 million workdays to preventable injuries. These aren't just statistics-they're lives interrupted, careers derailed, and potential lost. Dr. Bohdanna Zazulak's groundbreaking research at Yale revealed a truth that changes everything: your core isn't just about having visible abs or raw strength. It's a sophisticated command center that, when properly trained, can dramatically reduce injury risk for everyone. Professional athletes and celebrities like Jennifer Aniston credit her methods for maintaining resilience through punishing schedules. The real question isn't whether you're strong enough-it's whether your body knows how to use that strength intelligently.
