Lunge to forward T. One of my all time favorites. Great for balance (and therefore calves), quads, glutes, and hamstrings.

Make sure to go straight into the T from the lunge, and use whatever arms feel good to you!

Happy ! 💪💪💪

You know when 2pm hits and you get up to get something salty or sweet? It’s probable that you’re energy is flagging partly because you’ve been sitting still! Try a quick movement break to get your energy up (you can still have the snack too). You could even add movement when you get up to go to the bathroom. Adding movement to your routine decreases the mental load of figuring out when to do it, in addition to just being awesome for the body and brain (research shows that you’re smarter after you’ve exercised).
Try these movements:
🏋️‍♀️10 squats
🕺10 lunges
🔥10 push-ups (knees are good too!)
💃quick dance break to a favorite song

Happy ! Here’s a lovely variation of the plank to side plank which I shared a little bit ago. This is awesome if you’re building your strength back up, tapering towards the end of pregnancy, or just like this better than being on the toes. It improves shoulder, hip, and core stability, and feels great to make in a different direction (sideways and rotating) than we usually do during the day (front to back). 💃💪❤️
