Shifting the focus to the core, Adriene encouraged participants to draw their navel towards the spine while lifting their legs into a tabletop position. This movement began to build ‘fire in the belly,’ an essential aspect of the sequence. By emphasizing core engagement, Adriene highlighted how nurturing the abdominal muscles positively impacts weight loss and promotes digestive health.
