ESSENTIAL MOM MOVEMENT CIRCUIT: Exercise 6️⃣ . Now we are back to the 6kg ViPR and a variable reach pattern. . In exercise 1️⃣ I had a static staggered stance foot position and changed the direction of my arm reach. . Here I change both trying to create a big “movement bubble” around me driving my hips back or around and the ViPR all different directions. . The step combined with the reach requires my deceleration across different lines of force every rep. . This improves resilience and protects me from injury...start with body weight and progress! . I am moving in a controlled full range of motion here with my breath to subconsciously enhance the pelvic floor integration. Check out @pelvicore_pro and @garywynngray for the applied functional science approach to pelvic floor training. . You could also do a short and fast range of motion or make it reactive with cuing from a coach or another reactive device. This enhances brain integration. Check out @glatt.somatiq For all things cognitive training! . 🧐Why should moms perform this movement? . If you have babies or toddlers this is how we spend our day!! A series of lunges with variable reaches picking up babies or toys or the 1/2 eaten apple 🍎 on the floor. You know...all day long! 💁🏻‍♀️ . . . . . . #moms4healthusa #momfitness #viprfit #viprglobal #vipr_global #viprpro #pelvicfloor #corestrength #postpartum #reallifefitness #twinmom #functionalfitness #personaltrainer #healthfirst (at Holly Springs, North Carolina)

ESSENTIAL MOM MOVEMENT CIRCUIT: Exercise 4️⃣ . Here I am using a shift pattern along with an open palm grip and a 10 kg ViPR. . This grip adds instability which causes me to recruit more of my chest, shoulders, arms and core. . The ball and a narrow foot position adds more instability in a hip extended position...good things to counter hip flexion! . 🧐This Exercise is perfect for enhancing stability through my core and thoracic spine. I “can” do push ups, but I still get some coming through my core when doing a full push up. This exercise is superior for diastasis...gravity! 🌎 . 💁🏻‍♀️How does this help moms? . Having a stable core allows you to fully use your chest and shoulders without overly recruiting your core. This makes jobs like lifting a 2 year old child into a grocery cart 🛒 and fitting their chunky little legs into the leg holes much easier. Think baby swings and car seats too!! . 🚲On the bike: a stable core let’s me use my upper body more to climb = more power!! . I hope you enjoy these posts! The goal is to encourage movement and show it can be done! Life as a mom is so much easier with great movement!! .

ESSENTIAL MOM MOVEMENTS CIRCUIT: Exercise 3️⃣ . This pattern is a lunge matrix with three different ViPR patterns. I kept it very simple using a heavier load with the 10kg ViPR. . When moving through the lunge matrix, think about stepping (short or long, look for the reaction) and moving the pelvis under a tall spine and loading the stepping foot. . Setting the ViPR down between reps and picking it up to move into a different positions places a unique demand through your neuromuscular system. . 🧐Why is this important for moms? If you have toddlers, our whole world is lifting load (toddlers) from odd positions and lunging to get there! . This is good to load the pelvic floor!! . I have a diastasis, which means I must be able to move well through my hips and manage pressure when moving with load. . 🤗This matrix is a progression, NOT a starting point. . Like I said in exercise 1️⃣ @viprpro (US) and @vipr_global (overseas) is a fantastic tool to include in your #momfitness toolkit! . ✅ Sign up for my newsletter at moms4health.com!

Loaded movement training is beneficial to everyone! . My two not so little three year olds just helped me load up our garden. @iomhealth has tremendous programming that taught me some of these principles along with @garywynngray . . Consistent solid nutrition, rich in collagen building foods and a movement rich lifestyle produces strong bodies young and old! . In the US look for @viprpro and in Europe look for @vipr_global ! . Move lots and eat great food!! . . . . #moms4healthusa #viprpro #vipr_global #viprglobal #fitness #nutrientdensity #collagen #realfoodkids #everyday #wearemoving (at Holly Springs, North Carolina)

Essential mom movement circuit: Exercise 1️⃣ . The goal of this circuit is to introduce variable lines of force through my hips and core. I have had two sets of twins and I have a functional diastasis. It is my goal to continue to improve my function so I can be an active mom, enjoy my walks, jogs, swimming, biking and strength training. . This particular sequence is a circuit of 8 exercises that I enjoyed after a short 3D jog and before my bike ride. 🚲 . All of these exercises have a transfer to what I call essential mom movements. . This pattern uses a 6kg ViPR. I am doing a static foot position squat while reaching across various angles. It is a predictable pattern but you could also use a more varied pattern. . I am most definitely loading my pelvic floor but I am not consciously contracting my core with a Kegel, instead I am breathing fluidly in all movements in=down, out=up and my pelvifloor is contracting! . MOMS: think about picking up your kids. Kneeling to bathe or picking up toys. It’s NEVER in a straight line. 😁 . Complete 3-4 rounds of 12-20 reaches. .

There are few movements in the day to day of mothering toddlers that are predictable and straight line. Your body must be able to accommodate many different positions. Consider the runaway baby who just snatched your phone off the counter and is getting ready to throw it. I have had many cracked screens that way!! All you moms know what I’m talking about! Whether it is up and down from the floor, kneeling in awkward positions at the bathtub, herding wiggly toddler back into bed moms need to do it all. ViPR is an amazing tool to help train these positions. 😉 Enjoy this simple pattern ❤️. #moms4healthusa #vipr #viprglobal #viprglobalambassador #momtips #pelvicfloor #momlife #loadedmovementtraining #functionaltraining #coretraining #useyourbody #inspire #encouragement

@3actslide and @vipr make an excellent combo. The ViPR can create an unique load to the connective tissue in the same or different plane of motion as you “slide” through space. Effective, fun and efficient loading of the core and hips=gold to a bust mom! #moms4healthusa #3actslide #viprglobal #vipr #connectivetissue #momfitness

Loaded movement sequence for moms! One of the joys of having small children is moving with them. Often times one or more is physically attached to you. Wouldn’t it be fabulous to be a kangaroo or a gorilla 🦍 where they can attach themselves to you and hang on? Sorry, that’s a bit of my silly thought process. 😁 All you Moms know we have a favorite hip to carry babies. That’s ok, just make sure you can use both hips. This pattern offers a way to load and unload both hips using the 6kg ViPR. I hope you enjoy! #moms4healthusa #viprglobal #loadedmovementtraining #useyourhips #momhealth #momtraining #momfitness #reallifeexercise
