Strong glutes = happy pelvic floor 🍑
Your glutes + pelvic floor are besties. They share fascia + fire together. When your glutes are strong, they literally help lift + support your pelvic floor = more stability, less leaking, better core strength.
How to connect them during your workout 👇
BREATHE WITH THE MOVEMENT:
1️⃣ Inhale on the easy part → relax + lengthen your pelvic floor
2️⃣ Exhale on the hard part → gently lift pelvic floor + draw in your deep core
Think: Exhale + zip up from the bottom
This breath + activation combo teaches your glutes, pelvic floor, and core to work as a team = real-life strength for lifting babies, groceries, and yourself off the floor.
Save this to try later + follow for more mum-strong workouts 💪
P.S. My non-negotiable.
Glute day = Phormula-1 + Ignition within 30 min.
Protein + carbs = recovery + less soreness so I’m ready for tomorrows workout

Sometimes your bladder sends “ping” signals that create a false sense of urgency.
That can lead to:
→ Peeing too early
→ Not fully emptying
→ Worse urge issues over time
What to try instead 👇🏻
1️⃣ Check your fluids
How much water have you actually had today? Was it mostly coffee? Caffeine = bladder irritant for lots of us.
2️⃣ Notice your triggers
Does seeing a bathroom, getting home, or running water make you *suddenly* have to go?
3️⃣ Train the delay
Feel the urge but know you just went? Set a 1-min timer. Distract yourself. Gradually add time as you get comfy. You’re teaching your bladder to signal only when full.
4️⃣ Quick flicks
5-10 fast pelvic floor contractions then relax when the urge hits. Helps suppress it so you can wait longer.
Example: Feel the urge after your morning coffee but you KNOW your bladder isn’t full? Wait 1 min. Do some quick flicks. See if it passes.
Goal = at least 7 seconds of steady stream. That’s a full bladder 💛
Pregnancy + postpartum bladders deserve support.

TRX single leg glute bridge with knee drive. The name needs work 😂 but this movement has it all Deep core activation that will test your grip strength and glutes
Set up: feet flat, hips lifted holding TRX overhead
Inhale through your nose, feel your ribs expand, exhale through your mouth, activate your TVAs and gently lift the pelvic floor, ribs move in and down, lower abdominals flatten.
This is where it gets brutal.
If you have set up your activation correctly, you can feel immobilized like you can’t lift your foot…. But you can.
On your exhale: drive one knee up inhale to lower and fully relax the pelvic floor
Repeat on the other side.
Don’t drop your hips, keep ribs in and down watch for tenting or doming in the abdomen
This is a great progression from dead bugs and glute bridges. If you try it, tell me how it went in the comments – now it’s your turn.
