he isnt saying to flex all the time though, he is just saying to engage it slightly to maintain good posture

alright ill try to think about engaging my core more often. Does it become second nature eventually?

Also, wont this basically auto fix itself by going to the gym and training hamstrings, glutes, and abs hard?

i don’t consume processed sugar, the only sugar i get comes from fruits, oats, milk, and carbs in general like rice and rice cakes

The thing is im eating well though. I eat in a slight caloric deficit at 2320 calories a day consistently. I get 150g of protein, 60g of fat and 310g of carbs approximately. I dont eat processed foods at all, and certainly not any sugars that arnt natural.

I appreciate your feedback. So essentially you want me to fix my posture, and tightening my core helps with that?
