Taking care of myself with movement is crucial for both my physical and mental health during pregnancy. This is my gentle nudge to take care of yourself today - pregnant or not! 🤰🏼🏃🏼‍♀️💕

It’s always a new day for self care!

Aloha from Hawaii! I haven’t posted for quite a few months now - I got engaged, married, pregnant, moved, and am currently celebrating my honeymoon! 💍🌺🤰🏠🍍🌊🏖

I wanted to share a little bit of my pregnancy journey with you all. I’m currently almost 5 months pregnant, and haven’t had a difficult pregnancy by any means. But this sh*t is still HARD. All the mamas out there, I APPLAUD YOU! 👏🏻Our bodies are miracles and we are so strong!

The main symptom I’ve experienced is extreme fatigue. Daily tasks aren’t easy anymore, and workouts are even harder. What I’ve discovered is that less is ENOUGH! I still lift, I still move, I still stretch. I GET TO move and continue my health journey even though my energy is sub-par. I do what I can, and I listen to my body.

The mental aspect is hard too. My body is changing and will continue to change, and I am completely powerless over it. I know it is a beautiful part of life, but it is uncomfortable and I am learning to love my body for exactly where it is at. Progress not perfection!

Here is my first (posted) pregnancy workout # 1. I completed this at a awesome gym in Hawaii but this can be done with dumbbells at home:

- Deadlifts X 10
- Push ups X 15 (no video)
X 3-4

- Goblet squats X 10
- Lat pull down X 15 (no video - bent over rows can be substituted)
X 3-4

- Drop squat X 10 per leg (can be done on ground)
- Plank hold X 30 seconds (no video)
X 3-4

TRIGGER POINT THERAPY!!!

Today’s video breaks down foam rolling the HIPS! I like to separate the hip onto 4 regions:

- Inner thigh
- Front hip flexors
- TFL (upper side of hip)
- Piriformis (glute max region)

Spend 30 seconds or more on each spot. Both hips can be rolled in 5 minutes or less!

Take the time to care for your body so you can move through life with ease and do the activities you want to do!
🤸🏼🏋🏼‍♀️🧘🏼‍♀️🏊🏻‍♀️🚴🏼‍♀️🧗🏼‍♀️🏌🏼‍♀️⛹🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️💃🏼



DISCLAIMER: The sartorius muscles origin is the outer hip, and comes across your thigh to insert below the inner knee region. Spoke incorrectly in the video.. 🥴

MASSAGE STICK!!! 🪄🪄🪄

Today’s video takes you through a tutorial on how to use a massage stick. If you don’t have one, a rolling pin is a perfect replacement! Just make sure you clean it before you use it in the kitchen.. 😆🤦🏼‍♀️

Massage and trigger point therapy are crucial for a healthy body. When a muscle is tight, it often needs pressure to loosen up. Let me take you back to childhood.. silly puddy! If you take silly puddy and pull while it is cold, it’ll often snap in 2. Well, imagine the silly puddy is your muscle. Now massage that silly puddy around in your hands for 30 seconds and then pull. You will find the silly puddy lengthens nicely! Just like your muscles will if you give them some TLC with a massage stick before you stretch/exercise/move!

Take the time to prep your body for movement to avoid injury, feel less pain, and free to move as you please!

Good morning! 🌤🧘🏼‍♀️❤️

Last Sunday I posted a video focuses on stretches for the thoracic spine. Today we focus on the lower back! 🧎🏼‍♀️

The hip is a ball and socket joint, creating lots of range of motion when we move. If there is tightness or our hips become out of alignment, the lower back is often the victim. Try these movements and stretches to help alleviate the pain! 🤞🏻💛

It’s always a new day to feel freedom from pain in your everyday movements!
🏃🏼‍♀️🤸🏼🧡
