19.01.2022 CORE CONCERNS ?? Did you know your core can dome and bulge during exercise and also during some everyday movements? It can also happen postpartum if your core has not healed. I call it the core Toblerone (as it looks a bit like the pyramid shaped chocolate bar ! ) ... If you see this, your body is giving you information that you have misfired your abdominal/core. STOP as it can be a big contributor to the cause of Diastatis Recti. One of the most important elements in my online prenatal program and working 1:1 with clients is to ensure that their core strategy is optimized. Bearing down, bulging, doming, pushing abs out, crunching and clenching are all signs of non optimal core strategy. This does not mean you can’t train your core due pregnancy it just means you need to learn the best ways to move and how to adjust your movements if your body is giving you this feedback. The foundation of my online #prenatal & #postpartum program is CORE TRAINING with total body workouts-as the core is connected to EVERYTHING !! Learn more www.bfabmethod.com or see link in Insta Bio

15.01.2022 [HIP TIPS ]It’s time to get your rear in gear ! Avoid lower back & hip pain by tuning into better glute activation with this short 1 min video Some cues to keep in mind: If it hurts your hips to stand on 1 leg this move isn’t for you. You may have pelvic girdle / SIJ pain please see a Women’s Health Physio Make things MOVE ACTIVELY, slow your movements down mobility & strength go hand in hand. This can’t happen if you rush.... Place the band under your big toe / not foot this will ensure your find better activation from the ground up by spreading the load across all corners of your feet. Be HONEST with your movement - are you moving from your intended muscle or compensating for larger movements through the spine / rotating hips? It is OKAY to take the modification, leave your back leg on the ground especially if #pregnant - alignment is important // not going for gold Don’t FORCE range your body doesn’t quite have yet. It’s normal for your hips to be stiff #postpartum due to the hormone relaxin leaving your body plus spending more time sitting / nursing a baby or if you haven’t moved for a while #isolife Allow the body to find a better range of movement overtime // consistency is key. BREATHE - exhale on the effort & breathe through the abdomen, ribcage, and up into the chest. Create a 360 breath pattern. Release your belly / don’t clench your core as you do this exercise ! #nosuckinginbelly Try this glute activation move then go back & try my 6 min Booty Burner (Previous Post) & see if your glutes fire better in the workout instead of your lower back Any questions reach out below ? Or DM me for a complimentary 7 DAY TRIAL in my BFABMETHOD where you will find the rest of this exercise plus a variety of other functional total body workouts for pregnancy postpartum & any stage of motherhood Dahlas

13.01.2022 [BREATHLESSNESS during PREGNANCY] Many women say to me ..."now that I am pregnant I feel so unfit - I can hardly catch my breath, just walking up a flight of stairs" Sound familar ?? Don't fear if you are a regular exerciser. Being pregnant does not mean that your fitness levels have suddenly vanished.... There are a few factors that cause #pregnancy BREATHLESSNESS : +The pregnancy hormone progesterone is thought to be a main culprit as it changes the way your body absorbs oxygen. + While pregnant your blood vessels expand and blood volume also increases - making your heart work harder which can cause breathlessness + Towards the third trimester, when your uterus has grown enough to push on your diaphragm, this may also cause you to feel breathless, simply as your diaphragm does not have the space to expand and take a full breath. Practising #CORE BREATH or lengthening your breath slowly can help overcome this feeling plus is a great practice for labour and secretly activates your core from the inside ! If you are however finding it hard too catch your breath and you are feeling light headed, dizzy and have a rapid feeble pulse please see a medical practitioner immediately.

06.01.2022 [CALF RAISES // for pregnancy & postpartum] All that extra blood volume circulating during pregnancy can result in some swelling around the ankles or #cankles Improving foot & ankle mobility can help reduce this CALF RAISES are a simple exercise that also to help with balance, ankle stability, reducing plantar fasciitis and improving the posterior chain - that’s everything that runs down the back of the body. Which is needed when ...there is so much anterior or front focus during pregnancy & motherhood (+life in general) with a bump in front plus leaning over, change tables, prams, car steering wheels & of course mobile devices etc ! TIP // when performing a calf raise just move up onto the balls of your feet for better alignment & balance (rather than the tip toes) Here I combine the calf raise with a shallow squat ...this helps avoid the dreaded calf leg cramps Plus squats help strengthen the largest muscle group in the body - quadriceps, which are the muscles at the front of your thighs. Plus a squat is fabulous for the glutes & pelvic floor ! Try adding this simple but effective combo move to your next workout Dahlas See more
