Leg day with ALL supersets and giant sets ๐ ๐ฅ . . I am missing my Live workouts this week but here is a really good leg day! ๐๐ผ๐ฅ . . I mentioned earlier this week that this mama is GROWING ๐คฐ๐ผ and it hasnโt been the most comfortable thing to say the least ๐คช It is totally normal, but this week I have been experiencing REALLY bad round ligament pains (essentially growing pains) so I am taking it a bit easier. . . I am really hoping to hop on a few Live workouts towards the end of the week but right now I am listening to my body and taking LOTS of rest periods unlike EMOMs ๐ . . A LOT of you are asking for specific pregnancy safe workouts, and while this is going to be different for everyone, I highly recommend looking into @hannahbower2 because she has some incredible guides supported by so much knowledge! . . This workout is modified from using one of her guides! . . WORKOUT: 1๏ธโฃ SUPETSET: a. Squat to Step Back Lunge (keep partial tension in squat when performing the step back lunge) 3X5 2๏ธโฃ b. Banded aside Steps 3X30 seconds 3๏ธโฃ GIANT SET: a. Hip Thrust or Glute Bridge 3X25 (if later in pregnancy and being on your back causes discomfort, make sure to perform on a bench or stability ball) 4๏ธโฃ b. Banded Abductions 3X1 minute 5๏ธโฃ c. Banded Squat to Toe Raise 3X30 seconds 6๏ธโฃ GIANT SET: a. Sumo Squat X 10 to Pulses X10 7๏ธโฃ b. Squat X10 to Pulses X10 8๏ธโฃ c. Narrow Squat X10 to pulses X10 . . Like I said, I had to take a lot of rest during this workout so go at your own pace! If you can, keep rest you about 1 minute if you want to keep the heart rate elevated ๐๐ผ๐ฅ . . Make it a great day!!! . .

UPPER BODY FOCUSED 30 MINUTE EMOM! ๐๐ผ๐ฅ Who joined in for this one!? ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ Anyone who did this with me Live knows that this was much harder than we all had anticipated ๐ the pump was real and felt SOOO good! . . I LOVE EMOMs (every minute on the minute) but also love challenging my muscles and this was a great mix of being able to do both! ๐๐ผ๐ฆ . . WORKOUT: 6 exercises. 5 rounds. 30 minutes. 1๏ธโฃ Upright Row X12 to Shoulder Press X12 2๏ธโฃ Side Lateral Raises X10 to Arnold Press X10 3๏ธโฃ Single Arm Row X10 each arm 4๏ธโฃ Front Raise Steering Wheel X12 5๏ธโฃ Bicep Curl X10 to Hammer Curl X10 6๏ธโฃ Squat Pulse X20 OR Jump Squats (I am doing low impact so I stuck with squat pulses) . . This felt SO good! Not only did I get my heart rate up, but I was able to challenge myself from a strength perspective which is exactly what I needed! ๐๐ผ . . Thank you to everyone joining these Live workouts! I am LOVING them and truly enjoying the sense of community and extra motivation to show up for myself! ๐๐ผ . . Make it a great day! ๐ค . .

Please read and tag anyone who might need this right about now ๐ค . . After going through countless check ins in my private Facebook group over the last couple days, I am seeing a reoccurring statement that people are frustrated with the scale and getting discouraged. . . I donโt talk a lot about my personal โweight lossโ or past heath and fitness journey too much on here because I have been going through SO many seasons of life since then and my journey is still taking place. . . But, these frustrations and feelings of discouragement are NORMAL for many of us, but PLEASE do not let this stop your motivation or choice to show up for yourself ๐๐ผ . . I weigh the EXACT same in these photos up above. I weigh 132 on the left and the right. The left side of both of these was before I started my journey back in spring of 2015 and the right photo was last summer before getting pregnant the first time. . . . I remember stepping on the scale in the right photo and nearly fainting! I was so mad that I was back to my โstartingโ weight. โHOW!?โ Literally all I could think about was how I was going to get that number back down. . . . But thankfully I had countless other forms of measurement to take into consideration and a number of photos to place side by side to allow myself to see the changes and recognize that the number on the scale was just that, a number ๐ค . . PLEASE understand that weight is only ONE form of measurement! I do NOT want that to be the driving force for many of us. . . Does it feel good to lose weight? HELL YA! But it should not be our entire form of motivation. . . I hope this helps some of you ๐ค and for reference, 132lbs at 5โ2โ is considered nearly overweight ๐๐ผ I think I look pretty damn good for an โoverweightโ individual. #screwthescale SHOW UP FOR YOURSELF! ๐๐ผ . . Make it a great day! . . #throwbackthursday #weightloss #weightlossjourney #findyourbalance #showupforyourself #transformation #throwback #iam1stphorm #1stphorm #1stphormathletesearch #balanceathletica #healthjourney #fitnessjourney #womenshealth #throwback

When I angle a certain way the belly almost disappears! ๐๐คฐ๐ผ Here is a 1 kettlebell or dumbbell Leg Workout ๐๐ผ๐ฅ . . I am LOVING my Live EMOMs but I was really needing a slower workout where I could focus a bit more on strength and rest periods๐ช๐ผ ๐ . . I used one 35lbs kettlebell but one dumbbell would totally work also! . . WORKOUT: start with a good warm up to get the mind muscle connection going and glutes fired ๐๐ฅ . 1๏ธโฃ Split Lunge 4X10-12 each side (press through your heel) 2๏ธโฃ Sumo Squat with pause at the bottom 4X15-20 3๏ธโฃ Single Leg RDL 4X10-12 each side 4๏ธโฃ SUPERSET: a. Bent Knee RDL 4X12-15 5๏ธโฃ b. Bodyweight Pulse Squat 4X20 *Rest at least one minute between sets* . . This took me about 45 minutes with a warm up! Our workouts do not need to be crazy long or over complicated! Basic movements tend to be my favorite and most effective! ๐๐ผ . . I also want to say THANK YOU to everyone who supported me in yesterdayโs @balanceathletica launch ๐๐ผ truly it means more than you know! I will leave my giveaway open for a few more days for anyone who still wants to purchase anything and use the link in my bio ๐ค๐๐ผ . . Make it a great day! . .
