Getting Started with Postpartum Workout
Ah, the postpartum period – a time of joy mixed with its own set of challenges and changes. One of the best ways I found to regain my strength and confidence was through targeted workouts that focused on my core muscles. Let me introduce you to four Pilates deep core moves that helped me overcome the challenges that were holding me back.
The Pilates Deep Core Moves
-
Pelvic Tilts: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Engage your abdominal muscles and tilt your pelvis up, pressing your lower back into the mat. Hold for a few seconds before releasing. Repeat this move to improve your pelvic stability and strengthen your deep core muscles.
-
Leg Slides: Begin by lying on your back with your knees bent and feet hip-width apart. Slowly slide one leg out, keeping your core engaged to maintain stability. Return to the starting position and switch legs. This move targets your lower abs and helps in toning your thighs.
-
Criss-Cross: Lie on your back, lift your legs to a tabletop position, and place your hands behind your head. Twist your torso, bringing your right elbow towards your left knee while extending your right leg. Repeat on the other side, alternating in a controlled manner. This exercise challenges your obliques and promotes a strong core.
-
Plank with Leg Lifts: Get into a plank position with your hands under your shoulders and your body in a straight line. Lift one leg off the ground, keeping it straight and engaging your core. Hold for a moment before switching legs. This move not only strengthens your deep core but also works your arms and legs for a full-body workout.
By incorporating these Pilates deep core moves into your postpartum workout routine, you can leave behind your past struggles and move forward confidently towards a stronger, fitter you. Remember, consistency is key, so start slow, listen to your body, and gradually increase the intensity. Are you ready to embrace the journey to a healthier, happier you?
