Let's go over weeks 2–4! This is where things start to click.

We’re still building on the same foundations: breathing, pelvic floor engagement, and learning how to both relax and activate, but now we start layering in more challenge. Movement patterns become more complex, coordination is tested, and your body starts to understand what you’ve been asking of it.

This is usually when the “ah-ha” moments happen. Breathing feels more natural, connection feels more automatic, and confidence starts to build.

Weights are still light on purpose. Because this phase isn’t about loading your body…it’s about teaching it how to move well first.

And yes… if it feels like patting your head and rubbing your tummy at the same time, you’re right where you need to be.

Let me show you what actually happens when you step into the Ab Ovo Restore Program…

We don’t jump into workouts. We start with understanding your body.

Your assessment gives me a clear picture of how you’re moving, where tension is living, and what needs support, from posture and rib flare to checking for diastasis recti and pelvic floor function. Nothing is guessed. Everything is intentional.

Then Week 1 sets the tone for everything that follows. We slow it down, focus on diaphragmatic breathing, learn how to both relax and engage the pelvic floor, and begin connecting that to functional movement.

Weights are light on purpose. Because if we don’t build the foundation first, nothing on top of it lasts.

This phase might feel simple… but it’s where everything changes.

If your “core brace” feels aggressive… you’re probably overdoing it.

I see this all the time➡️�big inhale ➡️ribs pulled down hard ➡️forceful exhale
And it turns into gripping instead of connecting.

You don’t need more force.�You need better coordination.

Think:�✨Ribs and hips meeting in the middle�✨A controlled exhale (not all-or-nothing)�✨A subtle lift through the pelvic floor
�A connected, supportive brace
This is where strength actually comes from.
Less forcing.�More control.

Maxing out your back squat comes with one non-negotiable: how you breathe.

Before you unrack the bar, take a full inhale and expand through your rib cage. As you brace, think pelvic floor support, not tension.

Exhale with control as you move through the hardest part of the lift, keeping that deep core online the entire time. This is how you protect your spine, support your pelvic floor, and actually move more weight with confidence.

Strong squats aren’t just built from your legs, they’re built from the inside out.

Most women don’t need more workouts…
they need to understand their body.

When breathing, core connection, and strength finally click - everything changes.

Confidence. Strength. Control.
That’s the goal.✨

Safety first. Always.

Because ego lifting is not the vibe.

Form matters. Breathing matters. Knowing your limits matters. Strength is built on doing things well, not just doing things heavy.

And then… teamwork.

There’s something wildly empowering about having someone behind you when you’re ready to add that extra five pounds on the last set. Not because you need saving, but because you’ve got backup.

Bracing your core isn’t just “sucking in” or clenching as hard as possible.

It’s creating 360° pressure around your spine so your body has support when you move, lift, carry kids, or pick up the laundry basket for the 37th time today.

Think of it like a built-in weight belt.

Breathe in.�Expand ribs and belly.�Gently brace like someone is about to poke your stomach.

Not rigid.�Not sucked in.�Just strong and supportive.

Your core was designed to work with your breath, not against it.

Most people jump straight to dynamic breathing… but skip the foundation..
Breathing patterns change depending on the goal.

In this post I’m showing two foundational patterns and one dynamic pattern using a deadlift.

🎬Clip 1 – Foundational pattern: Paused inhale
Exhale as I hinge down ➡️pause ➡️ inhale at the bottom ➡️ exhale as I stand.

This pattern slows everything down so you can feel rib cage expansion and diaphragm movement without the distraction of motion. The pause gives the body time to restore a full inhale and 360° rib expansion.

🎬Clip 2 – Foundational pattern: Full exhale through the range
Here the focus is owning the full exhale during the movement.
The exhale helps bring the ribs down and pelvis into better alignment, which reconnects the deep core and pelvic floor. For many people (especially postpartum), this is where we restore pressure control and core coordination.

🎬Clip 3 – Dynamic breathing
Now we apply breathing to movement: inhale on the way down, exhale on the way up.
The inhale allows the rib cage to expand and the diaphragm to descend.

The exhale helps manage pressure and support the lift.
This is how the core system works during real movement; the diaphragm and pelvic floor lengthen and recoil together like a piston.

Foundation first.
Then we train it dynamically.
Because breathing well lying on the floor is great…
but breathing well while you move and lift is the goal.
