Exercises I did during my first trimester (part 2 of 2) ✨I was noticing pain in the front of my pelvis during a long car ride home to attend a bridal shower. This pain can sometimes be called “lightning crotch” ✨I was surprised by this because my baby is not big enough to put physical pressure on the area, the joint was hurting because of hormonal effects. ✨Copenhagen planks are great for this to help stabilize the joint. I will certainly get them in while my body can still do this! Follow me to learn more and work with me to solve your problem!

Cupping your stomach for pelvic floor issues! ✨Mobilize C-section scars to reduce pain and tightness ✨Decrease urgency. The abdominal fascia and pelvic floor fascia are closely related, and if they are tight it can increase urgency and frequency of urination. ✨Help your abs come back together for diastasis recti. The abs need freedom to move back together after pregnancy, this will help to allow that. Follow me to learn more and work with me to solve your problem!

Exercises I did during my first trimester (part 1): ✨When you’re feeling nauseous, you don’t have the best posture. You’re just not feeling good. ✨I noticed because of this I was hunching more all the time and my back was getting really tight. ✨I made the foam roller my best friend and am definitely feeling better now!

Thank you Dr.Matt Silver for the outstanding running form clinic yesterday. Our members will be running more efficiently and pain free in no time!

Exercises for 0-6 weeks postpartum: ✨Abdominal contraction/engagement: get your abs active again by pulling them up and in during your exhale. Remember to tighten the muscles, not just suck in your stomach. ✨Sidelying rotation is great to help stretch out the back gently. The back easily becomes tight from caring for baby! ✨Roll a lacrosse ball on your low back and any other area of your body that is sore including the shoulder blades and hips.

"I'm too old for this." When is the last time you said this? Your office 5K challenge? At the park with your kids? Or grandkids? You admitted defeat and figured your active days are over. But something inside you wonders if there's hope. You see people in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond running marathons and playing soccer ⚽️ Are they special? No they aren't. Their secret is they didn't stop. They kept running, jumping, and lifting, and that has kept them young. Is it too late for you? No. it isn't. Really, it isn't. Starting real strength training benefits anyone no matter their age. But it has to be the right kind of training. You can't train the sane way you did in your 20s. And that's where we come in. We collaborated with chiropractors, physical therapists, and rehab specialists to create an innovative system that helps desk-bound brainiacs learn how to lift weights and move like a ninja! We've helped 100s of Howard County residents create active lifestyles that they love! Get ready to start your adventure! DM us today to get more info on our programs. We look forward to joining you on your adventure! #fitover40 #gym #columbiamd #ellicottcity
