ESSENTIAL MOM MOVEMENT SERIES: Exercise 6️⃣ . 😄I remember thinking I was fit and strong before I had children. And I was...in the gym, in a controlled environment! . 👬🏃🏼‍♀️Soon I found myself chasing after two little boys which required A LOT of forward bending and reaching ...this was a new pattern to me! . Couple that with a still lax abdominal wall and hips which were not use to my new shell and...😫ugh! Everyday felt like a million years! . Today I am much better trained and more resilient thanks to my training AND nutrition! . The @triforcefit with its variable hand positions and large footprint is the perfect tool for loading those unconventional positions! Enjoy this matrix with your @triforcefit !! . . . . . . #moms4healthusa #trainforfunction #momhealth #fitness #toddlermom #twinmom #hollyspringsfitness #womenshealth #momfitness #strongmoms #resilience #vivobarefoot #triforcefitness (at Holly Springs, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtBIghEhT75/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=oijqe8ebyftx

ESSENTIAL MOM MOVEMENT SERIES: Exercise 5️⃣ . Often where we incur injury is where we have not trained. . 🕷 My goal is to create a broad web of resilience for function. Everyday we perform some form of step with a reach away from the body. . During our first four years as moms that reach is below waist height. . Here the @triforcefit allows me to position my hands variably and move the mass of the TriForce away from my center while maintaining a long spine but realistically deviating from center. . Confidence with movement makes life so much easier!! . . . . . #moms4healthusa #movementmatters #lifemovements #trainforfunction #resilience #womenshealth #pelvicfloor #diastasisrecti #reallifefitness #momfitness #triforcefitness (at Holly Springs, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs-jYqXhyyF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2uuzc24mv1mt

ESSENTIAL MOM MOVEMENT SERIES: Exercise 5️⃣ . 🤗For me the motivation to wake up every morning and train comes from the peace in knowing my path. . I know that every pattern I put together builds my function so I can live and active life everyday. . 🌪+👣 Here I am using the @reactive_training Core-Tex to help my feet steer my core. The ultra thin sole of my @vivobarefoot shoes allows me to feel every tilt and surface shift of the Core-Tex! . ⬆️Using the bottom up reaction from the tilting surface engages all of the deep stabilizers in my pelvis and core. . ⬇️The top down reaction of my arms makes a@motion sandwich for my core to respond to both drivers! . 🌍 Life is full of stimuli from gravity to chasing a runaway child. We must prepare our bodies to deal with all! . . . . . #moms4healthusa #trainforfunction #healthyfirst #pelvicfloor #diastasisrecti #momfitness #myfitnessjourney #postpartumfitness #trainwithpurpose #fitnessmotivation #vivobarefoot #coretexfitness #reactivetraining (at Holly Springs, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs79QCZBdux/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sl16snqhub9v

Great results come from training your body from a variety of angles and tempos! . This is especially true after you have had babies! Here I am using the @3actslide to lengthen and load my hips from the bottom up! . If the hips lack motion, stability and strength it negatively affects the pelvic floor and core! . Take advantage of this amazing tool this year and head over to @3actslide !! . ⭐️Join me for a private coaching session or semi private with a friend! Let’s start training our bodies to move well everyday!! . . . . . . #moms4healthusa #movewelleveryday #trainforfunction #lifefit #momhealth #pelvicfloor #womenshealth #fitness #activemoms #3actslide #womensfitness #momfitness (at Holly Springs, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsSwiQKB5Ec/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1079fj2jmnxif

ESSENTIAL MOM MOVEMENT STRENGTH SERIES: Exercise 4️⃣a-c . Hip mobility is much more effective when you add a load through the lengthened position. It helps to get through the “stickiness” and helps your body “remember” the lengthened position! . 😊Having a diastasis means integrating the whole body through the core so the whole body works well together! . 🤗Here I am using a @viprpro to increase shape stability as @micholdalcourt teaches on the @institute_of_motion Platform App through my core while putting my hips in a lengthened position! . Know that the hips move in all 3 planes of motion, you could change the lunge to change the input bottom up! . ✅A. Posterior lunge with a neutral grip @viprpro hold and alternating lateral reach at overhead. ✅B. Posterior lunge with a palm cylinder grip @viprpro hold and alternating lateral shift at overhead. ✅C. Posterior lunge with a wide grip @viprpro hold and alternating lateral reach at overhead. . 🤚 Changing the hand position changes the input top down. . @vivobarefoot @viprpro . . . . . #moms4healthusa #pelvicfloorexercises #diastasisrectiexercises #movementmatters #trainforfunction #trainsmart #activemoms #lifemovement #strengthtrainingformoms #momfitness (at Holly Springs, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsIk821hOkG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18646ushk7ey

ESSENTIAL MOM MOVEMENT MOBILITY SERIES: Exercise 7️⃣a&b . The last exercise in this circuit places the most demand on the pelvic floor and abdominal wall. . In order to increase tolerance to load you must progressively increase the demand. . If you currently have prolapse or a significant nonfunctional diastasis this is not a starting point. . Here are two levels of a movement with @viprpro where I am resisting flexibility (one of the jobs of the core) and harnessing the momentum of the @viprpro as I move through a rotational pattern. . Enjoy this circuit!! . . . . #moms4healthusa #mom2mom #fitnessformoms #trainforfunction #lifefitness #momhealth #vivobarefoot #viprpro (at Holly Springs, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/Brh9oLTh8Dc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1t3sfffoipz7i

ESSENTIAL MOM MOVEMENT MOBILITY SERIES: Exercise 2️⃣ . Training the core and pelvic floor in upright function are key positions for life function! . Your body responds and reacts to a stimulus or a driver not a conscious brain communication saying “turn on”. . Reintegrating the core for life function following the trauma of carrying one or more babies is an integral part of a long term recover plan! . 🔆Enjoy 8-10 reps of this movement as a part of the circuit! . . . . . #moms4healthusa #corefunction #womenshealth #postpartumfitness #trainforfunction #momhealth #twinmom #fitnessformoms #pelvicfloorhealth #diastasisrectirecovery #womenshealth (at Holly Springs, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqKSfZ-BBZ-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zi7lz1h8yorf

😁CORE TRAINING: Beyond the crunch! . I once thought my “core workout” was only effective if my “abs” were burning at the end and they next day I was sore. . Fortunately, I learned Applied Functional Science through the GIFT fellowship and @garywynngray gave me a whole new perspective on movement in general and especially core training. . Ladies, your core is much more than your “abs” and training for life movement, resiliency and integration is key! Especially after having babies! . I have a diastasis and traditional plank training is not typically recommended! But, here I a protective tension through my core which is helping lay down new collagen fibers in a variable arrangement which creates a stronger core! 😁😁😁 . Here I am using an amazing tool, @3actslide for integrating the pelvic floor with the core. Notice that I am keeping a long spine and using bode drivers and the surface of the slide to challenge my core in all 3 planes of motion! . Can you see all of the drivers I chose? From my head to my toes! 😁 . Stay tuned for a new circuit coming up tomorrow! . . . . #moms4healthusa #resilience #coretraining #womenshealth #trainforfunction #postpartum #diastasisrecti #trainlikeagirl #hollyspringsfitness #fitnessmom #fitwomen #pelvicfloor #healthmom #3actslide (at Holly Springs, North Carolina)
