No, core bracing is a much over stated and misunderstood concept, only really needed during max effort lifts like deadlifts and squats. This is a GREAT exercise to allow your core musculature to "turn on & off" as needed to create the stiffness necessary. Just walk tall and under control and let the small movements of the bands and instability of the walk do the rest
Do you pull in abs when doing this?
Yeah, its called bracing and extremely important in carried walks 👍
Also, not just your abs but your whole body. Keep everything as tight as possible
