Let’s be real for a minute.. those babies with have that we love so dearly do something interesting to our glutes during pregnancy that you haven’t given a second thought to during, but after they resemble something similar to more pancake less peach 🤯🫠
This is great for buying jeans, but doesn’t actually help us if we never work to regain our strength in that area moving forwards.
Below are my top tips for regaining your pelvic strength and stability postpartum with regards to the glutes
1. Activation - I can’t stress this enough! If you miss this step chances are you’ll still end up with problems down the track eg: lower back pain or lower legs problems
2. Small movements that target the glutes - a great place to start here is with someone 1:1 so your technique can be closely monitored to make sure other muscles aren’t taking over
3. Build on strength - lower body classes here at Soma Haus is a great place to start 😉 however just make sure not to start heavier than you can manage. Lighter is better to start for glute training otherwise your lower back will over work
4. Consistency - it takes time to strengthen this area but it should be one of the strongest muscles in the body. Be consistent with your pre exercise activation over a long period of time and always start your strength workouts with glute exercises over quad exercises
