ESSENTIAL MOM MOVEMENT MOBILITY CIRCUIT EXERCISE 6️⃣ (2 variations) . 🙋🏻‍♀️Who is interested in: ✅training your core and ✅improving your mobility through your upper back and shoulders at the same time? . Training your core must include the thoracic spine and hips! We cannot “tell” our core to engage and expect to have functional carryover. It must react to something. . This is especially important when recovering your abdominal wall postpartum! Think global stimulus! . Here are two variations of a Db shoulder to overhead reach matrix! . 👉🏽Reaching to the front engages the back. 👉🏽Reaching to the back engages the front. . Then of course you have the sides and opposite sides as well as rotation! . ⭐️Enjoy all variations with a light load for 3-5 rounds per variation! . . . . . . . #moms4healthusa #momfitness #diastasisrectirecovery #giftfellow #grayinstitute #coretraining #globalfunction #resilience #postpartumfitness (at Holly Springs, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/BotnTfmhEMz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8yedjrw9i5ru

ESSENTIAL MOM MOVEMENT MOBILITY CIRCUIT: Exercise 4️⃣ . Exercise does not have to be complicated to be effective. . 🌟Can you see how my head is even working here as a driver? . 🌟Did you know that, facially our bladder is literally hung from our neck!? . Can you see how this simple movement can subconsciously load the pelvic floor and get your body out of the forward and down mom posture? . Here I am using a simple combo on the @powerplateusa moving through a squat to a two hand reach laterally at overhead. . The goal is to dynamically mobilize my feet and ankles along with my upper back and shoulders. . Of course my hips and core have to work together to stabilize the movement. . PROGRESSION: 1️⃣ Initial range of motion👉🏽increase range of motion 2️⃣ Unloaded controlled 👉🏽 loaded 3️⃣ Controlled tempo 👉🏽 faster tempo . Always with diaphragmatic breathing! Stay tuned for exercise 5️⃣ tomorrow! . . . . . #moms4healthusa #powerplateusa #momfitness #pelvicfloor #core #simpleexercise #appliedfunctionalscience #giftfellow #grayinstitute #reallifeexercise #womenshealth #momhealth (at Holly Springs, North Carolina)

ESSENTIAL MOM MOVEMENT MOBILITY CIRCUIT: Exercise 3️⃣ . 🧐How much resilience should we aim for in our shoulders? . 🧐How much can the shoulders affect the core? . 🧐Can the my hand reach actually drive motion into my pelvic floor? . 🤗Lots! A lot! Yes! . 🌟Using a @bodyblade my hand initiated the oscillatory motion of the blade stimulating all of the tissues in my arm through to my shoulder across my chest and back and through my core. . 🌟The staggered stance position decouples the hips which puts a gentle load to the pelvic floor along with my breath! . 🌟Add in the hip flexion and extension along with an eye driver and you have an amazing whole body (shoulder emphasis) stimulus. . PROGRESSION: 1️⃣Initial range of motion👉🏽larger range of motion 2️⃣Static foot position👉🏽with lunges👉🏽hops👉🏽jumps . ❤️Postpartum care extends years beyond the 6week check! Especially if you had more than one pregnancy, more than one baby or birth trauma. . Stay tuned for more tomorrow!! ❤️ . . . . . #moms4healthusa #wholebodymovement #fitmum #fitmom #momfitness #postpartumhealth #momhealth #diastasisrecti #consistency #resilience #giftfellow #femalechainreaction #pelvicfloor (at Holly Springs, North Carolina)

ESSENTIAL MOM MOVEMENT 💪 STRENGTH CIRCUIT: Exercise 2️⃣ . Regaining stability from the ground up is HUGE to recovering full core and pelvic floor function. . 🧐Can you still see my deficits?! I can! Can you also see my successes? I can see those too! . 🤗 Build off of your successes and challenge your deficits. Keep exposing your body to new ranges of motion. . Here I am using a @powerplateusa to enhance the single leg balance movement. The goal is glute strength on the standing leg along with ankle stability. . This exercise follows the 1️⃣st strength exercise with the medball posted yesterday. . Stay tuned for my version of the deadlift tomorrow! . . . . . #moms4healthusa #giftfellow #appliedfunctionalscience #momhealth #postpartumrecovery #twinmom #hipstrength #momfitness #thinkoutsidethebox #moveeveryday (at Holly Springs, North Carolina)
