To measure your waist, a tape measure should be snugly placed horizontally around your waist. This generally corresponds to the narrowest part of your stomach. On the sides, it is the area just above your hip bone (iliac crest/pelvis). As you pull the measuring tape around the front bring it down slightly toward your belly button. (see illustration). Depending on your anatomy, you may or may not end up over your belly button. Take the measurement at the end of a normal relaxed breath.
Size Small waist size 25” - 30”
Size Medium waist size 29.5” – 33.5”
Size Large waist size 33” – 37”
Size X-Large waist size 37” – 44”
If you are on the higher or lower end of the measurements listed for a certain size please consider the following:
If you have a stomach shaped like the fellow in this picture, you will need to measure your waist by dropping the measuring tape a little lower as you come around the front, just under your belly. This is for bellies that protrude forward more and are very firm to the touch. Bigger, “softer” bellies can be measured normally.
Description
The core360 belt is the patent pending, first-of-its-kind training belt that helps you move, breathe and perform better. By providing input and feedback, it helps you to create the intra-abdominal pressure you need for strong, supported movement. It is also effective for training proper breathing by using the diaphragm.
The core360 belt can be used during sports or during normal daily activities: from weight lifting to yoga, from running to walking, from loading a truck full of boxes to raking leaves or vacuuming your house, from improving your breathing during a sport to focusing on breathing during meditation, from training your diaphragm for acting or singing to improving your breathing to ease anxiety. It can benefit all ages and activity levels.
The core360 belt is made with custom elastic made in Los Angeles to our specifications for optimal results. The core360 belt is manufactured in Mexico and assembled in Los Angeles, CA.
Each belt is made of elastic and is black in color, with the core360 logo on the front. The belt fastens via hook and loop (velcro) and is adjustable. The pockets that hold the protrusions or pressure points are black or gray on the side that faces your body and black with a purple stripe on the portion that faces outward. The logo and purple stripe provide additional cuing (visual) in order to help you improve your core activation and/or your breathing pattern.
- Belt (excluding trim): 70% polyester, 30% rubber latex
- Pockets (elastic band): 80% polyester, 20% spandex
- Pockets (body of): 10% polyester zirotek, 30% nylon, 18% chloroprene rubber, 42% styrene butadiene rubber

BEST belt ever. I can climb mountains now!

Can’t give enough stars, this belt has helped create the bridge between in-office care and cueing to movements in daily life and recreational or competitive activities. Where traditional weight belts don’t allow external feedback specific to YOUR deficiencies in core control, the pads of the Core360 allow alignment with those deficient areas to promote uniform core engagement. Also, the elasticity promotes expansion, where traditional weight belts limit expansion (due to the material they’re made of). Get some coaching on how to use it and get one, now.

I am a physical therapist and this belt has been an absolute game-changer for all of my patients. Since IAP (intra-abdominal pressure) and/or breathing is the first thing I assess and (re)train with my patients, the belt is crucial as it allows us to find proper IAP function faster. My patients can then buy a belt for their everyday use and use them as a training device to integrate IAP with ALL their daily activities.

The core 360 belt improves the way I exercise and breathe! I was able to squat more and feel more grounded. It’s like having a Physical Therapist facilitate your core at all times. I feel more confident knowing I’m using my core properly because I get instant feedback from the belt.
