It’s been a minute since I posted here- pregnancy symptoms really took over again in the third trimester (fatigue, shortness of breath, ribcage pain, hip stiffness, and the return of bouts of nausea 🙃). Add on work, teaching LOTS of clients (a great problem to have!) and preparing for baby, it’s been extremely busy around here!

So here’s a little 37 week update…some days I feel good, other days the pelvic pain and heaviness take their toll and rest is necessary. When I am able, Pilates is always the activity that helps me come back to my body and myself. I am moving much slower, but also amazed at the fact that this pregnancy chapter is almost closed. We can’t wait to meet this baby!

Tower was calling my name - try this flow for a solid balance between front and back body work with the roll down bar:
⭐️Incline plank chest press
⭐️Incline plank shoulder hinge
⭐️Incline plank calf raise (shown in Pilates V)
⭐️Tall kneel lat pull
⭐️Thigh stretch
⭐️Thigh stretch with wide row + extension

It’s no coincidence that I am noticing a trend in my Pilates clients. They are people who…

🔹 Are highly curious and ask lots of questions
🔹 Take a proactive approach to their health
🔹 Want to live active, pain free lives
🔹 Take risks to step outside their comfort zone
🔹 Appreciate a new challenge
🔹 Accept and embrace life’s changes

Does this list sound like you? Or…do you WANT this to sound like you?

Pilates can change your mental stamina just as much as your physical strength. Commit to Pilates and it will reap benefits well past physical gains - enhancing your life both in and out of the studio. Take it from someone who’s experienced it herself and helped many others do the same. DM me for more info 💙

Had an awesome time rounding out Public Health week for the St. Charles County staff with some lunch hour Pilates. Everyone looked so strong during my Beginner Chair Pilates class and had a great time!

Thanks to my very favorite Public Health nurse for coordinating this awesome class at her office! Make sure you give your local public health care worker some love this week 💙

My second trimester ultrasound put me on some extra precautions to keep this babe safe, so I have had to cut back the intensity of my workouts. BUT that does not mean I haven’t been moving - here is my upper body strength training routine that has been feeling really good:

💪🏼 Incline Chest Press
💪🏼 Incline Skull Crushers
💪🏼 Elevated Quadruped Rows (also sneaky core 🥵)
💪🏼 Seated Unilateral Arnold Press
💪🏼 Tall Kneeling Lateral Raise
💪🏼 Low Kneeling Bicep Curl

I make a few extra modifications out of an abundance of caution to decrease pressure on my pelvic floor such as:
➡️ Changing my body position (no standing)
➡️ Decreasing the weight slightly/increasing reps
➡️ Performing unilateral lifts to decrease the total load
➡️ Using my breath to safely manage abdominal pressure
➡️ Still choosing weights that bring my muscles to fatigue within 30 total reps

Pregnant or not, changing your body position is a great way to challenge your body in a new way, especially if you are used to performing a free weight lift in the same position all the time!

And as always, if you are expecting be sure to follow any precautions specific to you from your OB or midwife🤰

🪻What I taught this week🪻

Try this new take on a Sidelying arm series - it feels great in my pregnant body, and feedback from clients was that it is much more challenging than it looks! One light or one medium spring is all you need to really feel those obliques kick on:

🪻Forearm Sidelying Lat Pull
🪻Forearm Sidelying Tricep Reach (externally rotated)
🪻Forearm Sidelying Front Raise
🪻Modified Side Plank Hold with Lat Pull
