• #29weekspregnant and while excited to not be pregnant anymore in a few weeks, I’m not so ready for the transition from one to two😄. I’ve finally started thinking about anything I may need for baby two that I don’t already have and would love any suggestions! I’m sure it will be completely different from Noah who was held constantly for months because he was the only one😅 I tend to think I have most of what I need? Noah’s transition from the only child has been my biggest concern still, relying on the nightly prayers (that started in trimester one 😅)for his adjusting well and my handling it well to pull us through those first few weeks of change while everyone finds the new normal. - ‘Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your resists to God.’ Philippians 4:6

  • Total Body EMOM (every minute on the min) Rest will depend on how much time is left after the reps are done! So I’m going to give suggested reps for each but if you find that you’re getting zero every time rest or tons of rest every time, you may need to adjust your weights or reps slightly! Just a reminder that getting in touch with your core and your breath as you move are so important during pregnancy and postpartum (always but especially then). Use that deep core! (Your Best Core in bio for all deep core things) ⭐️1:00 interval, no rest interval. Rest with what’s left of the 1:00 when you finish the reps⭐️ 3x - •18 Sumo to reverse curl and press •18 Curtsy reverse to front raise •18 Front lunge (I kept these very close intentionally this time) •18 Sumo snatch •16 Kneel up to press - •20 Bent/kneeling bent row •20 chair tap back •16 Side curl switch •10 pulse squat •15 rotating row -

  • 2 years ago I didn’t realize that love would never be a big enough word. I praise God every night that he sent you before I knew how incredible it would be. I’m only slight emotional over Noah turning two so I won’t write too much 😄I still feel like he was just born and at the same time can’t get over how big he seems sometimes. Also had to share the video of everyone singing happy birthday to him. He was so confused, it was too funny! (last slide)

  • Upper body funnn! if you consider upper body to be fun, unlike me😆 lots of vices,triceps and shoulders! On a side note- if you have pressure/a bearing down when doing overhead exercises, single sided movements are a great way to modify while working on improving your deep core (pressure management). Your best core is in my hi if you need more on this, diastasis, incontenance, Core in pregnancy and postpartum.😬 Let me know if you give it a try! And of course share with some else that would use it:) ⭐️3 rounds per pair- rest 30 seconds between fully completed pairs⭐️ - •10 Alternating front raise •12 Hinge combo - •8 Lateral tri kick R&L •8 hold and curl R&L - •10 Single overhead extension R&L •10 Single bent fly R&L - •10 Rotating side raise R&L •18 Kick and curl taps -

  • Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! I remember finding out I was pregnant with Noah and crying from panic. Meanwhile Gus was about to cry of happiness. Noah is lucky to have a dad that loves him so much and has from the moment we knew he was coming. That just loves to be his dad and cares so much about him. I also can’t let Father’s Day go by without mentioning my own dad. I’ve been blessed by him in so many ways from being able to look up to him in how he treats my mom, his faith, integrity and fun loving personality to knowing he is still always there for us when we need him. I am beyond grateful to have these two in my life. Also, please see pictures 3 for Gus’s first Father’s Day pictures. It’s one of my favorites that showed up as a memory and I couldn’t pass it up🤣

  • Nice & sweaty leg burn but low impact too! I’m not jumping right now (or for the past few weeks) because it’s tough on the pelvic floor this far into pregnancy even with great core function and control. A great thing to remember in pregnancy is: just because you physically can, doesn’t mean you should! Also talk more about that in Your Best Core😬 linked in my bio. All about how to properly use your core to heal/prevent diastasis, incontenance and lots of other fun and useful things especially in pregnancy/postpartum. You can also intensify a lot of these exercises by adding a jump/hop if you want! Let em know if you’re gonna use this one🙌🏼 and share with someone else that will too! ⭐️35 seconds work:12 rest x 3 rounds⭐️ •split squat launch R&L •Squat tap in •Quick tap downs •High lunge taps R&L •Squat hold tap in R&L •Curtsy tap over R&L

  • Great exercises for challenging the deep core as working the TVA! >They focus on the cross body connection so you’ll be moving opposite arm and leg in each! >There are a lot of repeat cues on each slide because each exercise is really targeting the same thing in a slightly different way/pull from the band. >Use that deep core! Make sure you’re connecting well. Especially important for pregnancy and postpartum periods! My full guide on this (Your Best Core) is linked in my bio. >One last cue that applies to all of the exercises: focus on keep good alignment and length through the body. Stack your hips, ribs and head. Keep the ribs from flaring out or the pelvis from getting extreme tilt forward or back. >These can be great for diastasis and pregnancy but as with all exercises, your level of deep core control and connection makes a difference in what is ‘safe’ or not for you personally. >This will not need to be a super high level resistance band strength ⭐️45 seconds work : 15 rest x1-3 rounds⭐️ •Pullback and March R&L •All 4s lteral pull and leg extension R&L •Palof press with opposite march R&L •Front pull and march R&L 💕Your best core in bio for deep core knowledge to create optimal function and strength

  • Somehow we’re already in the last week of the second trimester😮 It’s been a completely different pregnancy not just because I’ve only had 2 appointments so far with everything going on but because I’ve paid so little attention to it🤷‍♀️ besides being conscious of what I need to do for my core and adjusting my workouts, this pregnancy has pretty much just been silently speeding by 😆. If that’s taught me anything it’s that our focus can change everything. Last time I was so honed in and looking at way too much information and way too many stories. So every fear that I had was just constantly there in the back of my mind. I just can’t focus on it this time. And I know that thinking about the parts of the process I can’t control (cause honestly does the first birth really make you excited for the next one😂)are not a good use of my bow (very) limited free time. So this has been good to be honest😬 ‘Where focus goes energy flows’ and last time I had way too much focus on what I hoped wouldn’t happen. I love the quote ‘worrying is like praying for what you don’t want’. It just keeps it in your mind. This quote often helps me to shift gears. If you’re struggling, try to intentionally shift your focus. Find thoughts that feed the joy and hope in your life. It’s not easy at first or if the challenge ahead is a big one but it makes a huge difference💕 #27weekspregnant
