25.01.2022 Push-ups are great for strengthening and stabilising your shoulders and upper back. They also tone and strengthen the arms as well as the core. #pregnancypilates #pushups #seventeenweekspregnant #reformer #strength #tone #core

25.01.2022 #throwback to when I was 6 months pregnant... Each and every one of us experiences pregnancy differently. However, I think it's fair to say that most of us experience pain and discomfort at some point throughout this journey. My thighs ached more in my second pregnancy. The roller was my "go to" #rollrollroll #roller #pregnant #pregnancy #prenatalpilates #prenatalfitness #sixmonthspregnant #fitmum

24.01.2022 A morning and evening ritual of mine..... A stretch out on the foam roller. It strengthens muscles and opens and stretches out your entire body. It helps to reduce back pain and prevent injury #foamroller #nineteenweekspregnant #prenatalfitness #pregnancypilates #stretch

24.01.2022 Morning session with my littlest love Happy hump day

24.01.2022 On the home stretch.... #sixweeksleft #fitball #stretch #prenatalfitness #bump

22.01.2022 Monday's movement... Four Point Kneeling. Balance work is a lot more challenging when pregnant as relaxin is flowing through your body loosening all your ligaments - not just your pelvis. This exercise focuses on strengthening the shoulder joints and stabilising the pelvis and spine #eighteenweekspregnant #prenatalfitness #pregnancypilates

22.01.2022 Some of my favourite toys... dinosaurs and LEGO This loop band by @blackroll_australia is one of my favourite pieces of equipment for Pilates. And..... it’s back in stock! Happy weekend! #loopband #homeworkout #pilates #glutes #fitness #strength #exercise #workoutequipment #mumlife #somuchmess

22.01.2022 Throwback Thursday Leo at 4 weeks old with the absolutely amazing @foundationroots These pics show how to hold a baby so that his spine is in the correct neutral alignment. It's something we don't often think about (because let's face it - there's a gazillion other things we are trying to learn and do ) but being aware of your little one and his position and alignment is such an important facet to his development. . . . #foundation #foundationroots #foundationtraining #spine #spinealignment #littlebodiesbecomebigbodies

22.01.2022 Push ups and down stretch with a single arm progression: A great little combo for tightening those abs, strengthening chest muscles and core stability whilst mobilising through the shoulders. . . #reformerpilates #pushups #downstretch #coreworkout #corestrength #abdominals #control #postnatalfitness #postnatalpilates #mumsandbubsfitness #pilates

21.01.2022 How beautiful is this Autumn weather? Perfect temperatures for taking your bubs out and getting a bit of exercise in too! Leo is over 10 kilos now (OMG!) and is proving to be a great "add on" for my lunges.... Happy Thursday Everyone! #postnatalfitness #fitmum #lunges #mumsandbubsfitness #burningoffsomeofthoseeastereggs #whoneedsweightswhenyouhaveleo?

21.01.2022 A baby equals a great exercise accessory (not to mention a cute one!) Here I'm holding my Leo energising through my pinkie fingers which engages the serratus anterior and trapezius, to stabilise the shoulder girdle. Holding this pose braces the spine in a neutral alignment. It's a killer on the abdominal muscles as well as the arms and back.... AND I can look at my beautiful baby boy at the same time! #winwin #postnatalfitness #exercise #breathe #strength #mumandbub #andasleepingtoddler

19.01.2022 Taking his stretches very seriously #saturdaystretches #mumlife #billyboy

17.01.2022 Day 1 of the #alcommunitydetox My boys and I have had a lovely swim at the beach with friends and a nice big walk... Relaxing now with the #cleanser juice. This burst of goodness tastes amazing #feelinggood #detox #raw #healthy #juice #nocoffee #aboutlife @aboutlifenm @harriescarroll

17.01.2022 M O N D A Y .... It's always the day of the week where I seem to be more motivated. #pilates #mummylife #luckyleolovesit #hehasnochoice #postnatalfitness #reformer #reformerpilates #mumsandbubspilates #mumsandbubsfitness

16.01.2022 Foundation Movements... challenging pelvic stability and balance whilst strengthening the core and back muscles. (And wearing my new 2xu tights makes it a little more fun for this chilly morning ) . . . #foundation #foundationtraining #healthyspine #core #control #stability #strength #fitness #postnatalfitness #2xu

16.01.2022 Leo and I love our workout sessions at @e_labtraining and supporting the "Running for Premature Babies Foundation" ... Check out @e_labtraining for details... . . .... #mumsandbubsfitness #squats #bubandbosu #props #elab See more

16.01.2022 Tummy Tightening Tuesday Performing abdominal curls on the Oov allows a much deeper engagement of your core muscles and is safe on your back. . . . #pilates #oov #postnatalfitness #fitmum #aimingtogetmysixpackback #abdominalworkouts #core #strength #fitness

16.01.2022 Hello Sunday Morning Foundation Training session with @johnnygannon and MJ #foundationtraining #postnatalfitness #breathe #strengthen #posture #hubbyandbubby @wellnesswagon @docgoodman @harriescarroll

16.01.2022 Our little Leo at 4 weeks old... Doing an amazing session with @wellnesswagon working on correct posture and alignment. It's so important to start early and help your little one move and develop correctly... My little and I do this every day. #littlebodiesbecomebigbodies #sharethegoodness #infantmovementfoundations #posture #spine #health #foundation @docgoodman @harriescarroll

15.01.2022 Take a look @aboutlifenm shopping tours... It's a great way to get inspired about eating and cooking healthier meals.... Check out About Life for details . . . #cleaneating #wellness #healthyfood #aboutlife #foodinspo #healthyliving #groceryshopping #foodtours #yummy

14.01.2022 Monday morning baking.... banana bread, coconut yoghurt, fresh raspberries... When you suddenly have dietary limitations, it can be challenging to find foods that you can 1: eat 2: enjoy. These days so many people seem to have allergies and intolerances BUT there is an amazing food world out there now... So many incredible nutritionists and chefs and an assortment of wonderful recipes which fulfil individual needs. #dairyfree #refinedsugarfree #guiltfree #delicious #nutritious #bananabread #coconut #raspberries #breastfeedingmumma

14.01.2022 The power of a shell stretch.... not to be underestimated. This stretch lengthens your back extensor muscles and relaxes the entire body. It's also a nice stretch to do when you're pregnant - just make sure you separate your legs. . . . #shellstretch #stretch #backextensors #relax #breathe #nurture #pilates

14.01.2022 Easing into my first exercise session with my little babe for 2017 The pilates "hundreds" exercise is an all time favourite of mine... It's great for working on core strength and stability and has a variety of modifications. #postnatalfitness #pilates #hundreds #strength #stabilty #core #breathe #gettingthoseabsback

14.01.2022 #reflection.... The #bumpselfie on the left was taken 3 hours before Leo came into our world. The one on the right, taken yesterday, 4 months later... I love every minute being his mummy... I wish it didn't go this fast.... #slowdown #mumlife

14.01.2022 Nothing like a good stretch! Using the #Oov and #magiccircle to energise the whole body. Breathing in this position is a challenge and creates openness and awareness of your body position. It is a great exercise for anyone with a kyphotic posture too #thoracicextension #pregnancypilates #prenatalfitness #eightenweekspregnant

14.01.2022 Just picked up our detox essentials kit from @aboutlifenm Can't wait to start the Biggest Ever Community Detox 6-12 February #ALCommunityDetox #detox #cleanse #aboutlife #essentials

13.01.2022 At home? Need a little abdominal wake up? These are 2 of my favourite exercises for abs, using my @blackroll_australia roller... Mountain Climbers: 5 each side, then 4, 3, 2, 1. Then alternate for as long as you like. (Here I just did 10) Toe Taps - same sequence as above. Tips:... Keep your shoulders on top of your hands, with a micro bend in your elbows to take the pressure off your wrists. - Draw shoulder blades down away from your ears. - Focus on keeping your pelvis and spine stable. - Breathe - Wash your hands after! Happy Friday! #exercisemotivation #exercise #roller #blackroll #abdominal #abdominalworkout #quickbreak #fitness #health See more

13.01.2022 Saturday stretch. Holding this position opens the chest and lengthens out the front of your body. It is also a safe alternative position to performing a Back Extension when pregnant #fivemonthspregnant #prenatalfitness #prenatalpilates #stretch

13.01.2022 Working on perfecting the knee stretch reformer Pilates exercise... Pregnancy and giving birth can really make you feel like you have to start all over again! Gaining back your physical strength, fitness and posture is a challenge but an amazing journey. I love what my body has allowed me to do.... And all the changes that it has gone through to bring my darling boys into this world I used to find the knee stretch oh so easy! But 6 months after my second c section, as you can see here, I find it so difficult! @formfitnesspilates @harriescarroll @elixrhealthclubs #relearning #determined #kneestretch #core #pilates #postnatalfitness #fitness #mummy

13.01.2022 Tummy toning at its finest! Abdominal curls with added rotation on the #oov is a killer on the abs. Working the deeper muscles, this exercise on the oov strengthens and tones the core, whilst keeping your spine safe . . #abdominals #pilates #oov #strength #tone #safespine #deepworkout #postnatalfitness #fitness #mumsandbubsfitness

10.01.2022 Rolling out the glutes #fivemonthspregnant #bump #prenatalfitness #pregnant The #foamroller is such a wonderful device - perfect for part of a safe exercise regime during pregnancy. Using the roller helps prevent injury whilst improving mobility and reducing soreness.

10.01.2022 Since my little number 2 entered my world, I have taken a lot longer to get back into exercise.... Mainly because my recovery from my c section has been much worse this time. There are so many great exercises to ease back into it... I'm taking baby steps (pun intended) starting with half planks and push ups to get my core working again. Check out @kimmysmithfit for some amazing tips for mums! #fitmummysquad #fitmummyproject #postnatalfitness #pushups #mumsandbubs #core #babysteps

10.01.2022 Flaking out on the fit ball and enjoying some sunshine! This simple stretch feels so nice on your torso - opening the front of the body and stretching the back muscles. #posture #pregnancy #meditation #fitball #vitamind #sixweeksleft #stretch

09.01.2022 Monday's flashback.... Lunging into my final week of pregnancy Lunges are a great prenatal exercise that are safe on your body... Strengthening your quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, calves and also your core... And you can do these anywhere! Happy Monday everyone! #prenatalfitness #lunges #health #strength #exercise #workouts #fitmummysquad

08.01.2022 #bumpselfie #countdown #threeweeksleft Beautiful day to burn some energy after a rainy weekend. #prenatalfitness

08.01.2022 Shoulder Bridge.... A great exercise for strengthening abdominal, glute and hamstring muscles, while also challenging pelvic stability. I love this position because there are so many progressions you can add to it. Here, I'm using the Oov to further challenge stability, as well as raising my arms in the air. . . #pilates #shoulderbridge #variation #abdominal #glutes #hamstrings #pelvicstability #oov #fitness #postnatalfitness #postnatalpilates

07.01.2022 Sunday morning oov move... Planks on the oov challenge core stability and intensify your plank. #uptheanti #postnatalfitness #oov #core #stability #plank #pilates

07.01.2022 Just received this pic taken of me and my baby bump a few weeks ago in Noosa with @luxenoosa This Pilates session on the paddle board was such a wonderful experience. It's so important to nurture yourself and get close to nature - to stop and just be. I would do this every day if I could! If you are in Noosa, book yourself a session with the amazing Kelly.

05.01.2022 I love this pelvic stability exercise.... Feet In Straps - Short Spine. Not only is it great for mobilising the spine, it also strengthens your abdominal muscles . . . #reformerpilates #feetinstraps #spine #mobility #control #pelvicstability #pilates #fitness #fitmum #mumsandbubsfitness

02.01.2022 Foundation training with the amazing @johnnygannon (and my handsome husband @harriescarroll ) This form of exercise is great for safe placement of the spine and pelvis and it encourages the best possible posture for your body. AND it feels amazing! Happy Friday everyone! #foundationtraining #fitness #posture #lookafteryourbody #pregnancy #pregnancyhealth

02.01.2022 Side stretching is great for lengthening out those muscles between your ribs. This stretch helps to prevent injury and ease aches and pains during pregnancy. #photobomb #pregnant #prenatalpilates #mumlife #billyandbump

01.01.2022 Life is busy and full for everyone these days... And it can be so hard to fit in time to exercise. Leo is my little sidekick and comes everywhere with me so I incorporate him into my workouts. This quick little step up set is great on the legs and bottom... but Leo adds challenge on the arms and core. Plus I get to cuddle him at the same time #winwin #improvise #mummylife #fitmum #postnatalfitness

01.01.2022 One year on.... how incredible is nature and the human body?? To grow another human inside, after growing 2, still bewilders me. I never thought my belly could stretch to that size? And whilst my body isn't quite the same as it was before I had my babies (let's face it - it won't ever be!) I feel stronger, more resilient, accepting of my body's changes, and totally blessed and grateful to have created and carried my beautiful boys. #oneyearon #babybump #mum #reflection #bodypositive
