ESSENTIAL MOM MOVEMENT CIRCUIT: Exercise 4️⃣ . Here I am using a shift pattern along with an open palm grip and a 10 kg ViPR. . This grip adds instability which causes me to recruit more of my chest, shoulders, arms and core. . The ball and a narrow foot position adds more instability in a hip extended position...good things to counter hip flexion! . 🧐This Exercise is perfect for enhancing stability through my core and thoracic spine. I “can” do push ups, but I still get some coming through my core when doing a full push up. This exercise is superior for diastasis...gravity! 🌎 . 💁🏻♀️How does this help moms? . Having a stable core allows you to fully use your chest and shoulders without overly recruiting your core. This makes jobs like lifting a 2 year old child into a grocery cart 🛒 and fitting their chunky little legs into the leg holes much easier. Think baby swings and car seats too!! . 🚲On the bike: a stable core let’s me use my upper body more to climb = more power!! . I hope you enjoy these posts! The goal is to encourage movement and show it can be done! Life as a mom is so much easier with great movement!! .
