POV: your twins decide to nap completely opposite times of each other 😅😅😅 not always planned but I LOVVVVEE baby wearing. The girls love it too and getting to move around with them and count it as my workout is a win in my book. PS. If you don’t have a wrap or carrier you can do some of these by just holding your baby securely or have them on the ground with you as you do floor work and entertain them. BABY WEARING WORKOUT (Low body focus) Repeat 3x through - 12 x squat with triple pulse at bottom - 12 x good mornings - 12 x alternating back lunge - 10 x alternating back lunge to curtsey lunge - 12 x alternating lateral lunges #babywear #babywearing #twinmom #newmoon #postpartumfitness #postpartumjourney #postpartumweightloss #postnatalfitness #babywearingworkout

Glute Clenching Postpartum
When you clench your glutes, your pelvic floor cannot relax 👇🏼 In the later stages of pregnancy and early postpartum after all the postural changes our bodies go through, this is a common habit that we don't even realise we are doing & often happens during every day tasks & holding our babies (like I'm showing in the first 2 videos). Glute clenching happens when your body is trying to create stability from a lack of core and pelvic floor strength. Gripping your butt and tucking your pelvis means the glutes are in a constant state of clench and can become tight and weak. It also creates less space at the back of the hip & adds to pelvic floor tension.

Save this! Movement for Week 4 Postpartum
Glute strength is KEY 🔑 The glutes are best friends with the pelvic floor and play a large roll in your ability to find pelvic floor length as well as strength. ➡️ For instance, during a hinge or deadlift movement, as you sit back your glutes lengthen as well as your posterior pelvic floor. During a clamshell exercise, your posterior pelvic floor muscles shorten, but with a reverse clamshell they actually lengthen! 💪 Not only do your glutes affect your pelvic floor’s ability to contract/relax appropriately, but they also are just so important for postural strength needed to care for your baby! Try each of these movements for 10-15 reps a few times through and see how you feel! www.drmaehughes.com

I feel my best when I squeeze in a 5-10 minute gentle, movement flow daily during this early postpartum season. Perform each movement for 10-15 reps and feel the aches and pains start to melt away 🤞 And remember. This is not about “bouncing back”…it’s about properly rehabbing your body from a major physical event to reduce leakage, low back pain, hip pain, etc. You can find all of these movements and more in my 12 week Movement Through Early Postpartum rehab program to help you reconnect with and rebuild your pelvic floor, core and full body 🖤 www.drmaehughes.com

Week 1 with my baby boy 🩵 As a pelvic floor physical therapist and mom of 2, these are some gentle movements I perform myself as well as prescribe to my patients in those early postpartum days. The goal with these movements is to reconnect with your new postpartum body that often feels foreign. Try each of these movements for 10-15 reps once per day and notice how you feel after each session. You may feel calmer & less tense — which is the goal after delivery!
