10.01.2022 Are you ACTUALLY engaging your core when you train? Do you know what to look and feel for? Fortunately for my clients, I have a keen eye for healthy core function and a dysfunctional core stands out like a sore thumb. So what exactly am I looking for? 1. There should be a SIGNIFICANT contraction of the core, BEFORE you move in any exercise. As you exhale, the waist will narrow slightly and the belly button draw up and in slightly, before movement of the limbs. Take a BIG ex...hale and visualise a corset wrapping around your waist. See top picture. Note: this is not sucking in or pulling belly button to spine. 2. If the belly is protruding at the peak of our abdominal work (like the bottom picture) we aren't efficiently regulating our intra-abdominal pressure. This goes for pregnancies too - bub should 'hug' towards you without any doming or coning shape in our bellies. 3. Lower abdominals will 'flatten' across the belly. Imagine your hip bones connecting towards each other - obviously the hip bones won't move, but it's a cue that can help find that lower abdominal connection. 4. Lower ribs will be drawing together, not flaring. Try clenching your teeth together and make a 'ssssssss' sound - this can help to find connection through the upper abdominals. I often have clients place both hands over their bellies sitting upright on a bench. As they maintain a neutral spine and hinge backwards slightly, we can quickly see if the abdominals press outwards into the hands, or drawn in and away from the hands slightly. We want the later option - drawing away from the hands slightly. Next time you are in class (especially during abdominal work) try some of the above techniques to help find that deep core connection and ASK if you are unsure of what it feels or looks like that's what I'm here for Core connection take a lot of practice! Be patient with your training

04.01.2022 The beginners guide to motherhood

03.01.2022 Yes!!! Swaying or leaning over a fit ball on all fours was my only labouring position for 28 hours (yep, even in the car ). I NEEDED to move! That was until I arrived at the hospital 10cm dialated and had to lie on the bed for an 'internal'... the pain was excruciating lying down! What was your most comfortable labouring position?
