Made To Move Physio & Pilates

Three exercises that helped me heal my core after three pregnancies. Three pregnancies meant three rounds of my deep core forgetting how to switch on, and these are the ones I came back to every single time to bring it back.

Save this for the next time you need a reminder of where to start.

🌟 360 Breaths, deep core activation and breath control, this is always where I start before anything else

🌟 Pelvic Tilts, builds awareness and control through the pelvis so the rest of the core has something to work from

🌟 Block Squeeze with Core Recruitment, trains the inner thighs and deep core to fire together instead of working against each other.

None of these look impressive on camera and that's exactly why they work. The healing happens in the small, controlled reps consistently you barely notice yourself doing, not in anything that looks hard from the outside.

If you're in the middle of your own rebuild right now, be patient with yourself. Your body did something incredible, and it deserves the same slow, steady care on the way back.

You're doing amazing, Mama.

Nobody warns you that pregnancy comes with pain like this, the sharp pull at the front of your p***c bone or along your lower back and hip that shows up when you're walking, turning over in bed, or just lifting your leg to get a shoe on.

That's your ligaments loosening and your pelvis making room for your baby, and it means the muscles around it, your deep core, your glutes, your inner thighs, your obliques, need to step up and hold everything together.

Here's what I'm working through in this session:

✅ 360 Breaths, deep core recruitment - imagine hugging your baby as you exhale
✅ Quadruped Block Squeeze and Twist - builds pelvic control and coordination through rotation
✅ Clam Shells - wakes up the glutes that support your SI joint
✅ Moviegoer Bridge - strengthens the glutes while keeping the core engaged
✅ Block Squeeze with Core Recruitment - trains the inner thighs and deep core to work together
✅ 360 Breaths - repeated here to reset and reconnect before the next move
✅ Pelvic Tilts - builds awareness and control through the pelvis
✅ Side Plank with Twist - works the obliques and deep core through rotation

Go slow and exhale into every contraction. Challenging is the goal here, not strenuous, because this is about taking care of a body that's doing a lot right now. Consistency over intensity, any day, all day.

Fitness for me is a vehicle by which I can best equip myself to do the things I love and have to do. Whether it be sitting in front of a computer pain free, going on long hikes and walks with family, preparing for that marathon you’ve always wanted to do run…

What would you do if Fittness and wellness was unlimited?
