#MovementMondays —> Lower Body Complex:
The major muscles in our lower body are particularly important to train and strengthen during pregnancy. The extra weight and position of the baby puts a lot of stress on our hip, pelvis and low back. By strengthening these muscles, you can carry with more ease and balance + feel strong and functional during your pregnancy.
These four basic strength moves are safe and effective and can be modified (made easier) or progressed (made more challenging) for both pre and post natal workouts.
Check out our stories for the modifications and progressions. All movements will be saved to our highlights.
