8/28/2018 0 Comments How To Modify Bridges For Pregnancy and Get Your Buns Burning In Less Than 5 MinutesStrengthening your glutes is a great way to help combat what I call "mom posture" but how do you get your buns burning like you would from bridges while pregnant? In this video I show you a simple modification for bridges I use with all my prenatal clients. Strengthening your buns is a great way to help combat what I call "mom posture". During pregnancy stronger glutes or tighter buns can help you maintain better alignment and avoid some of the lower back pain and strain caused by your growing baby and belly. Bridges will also help strengthen your hamstrings and you will work your core and pelvic floor by engaging both during the exercise series. This video will show you a series to get your buns burning in under 5 minutes.

Diaphragmatic Breathing Exercises strengthen your core and pelvic floor and are my go to when brushing my teeth, waiting for my face mask to dry, or going for a long drive. This 5 minute video will show you a quick routine to practice your breathing, core engagement, and kegels.
Diaphragmatic Breathing exercises are helpful to do during pregnancy to remind your transverse abdominals to engage and your pelvic floor to work with your core. Diaphragmatic breathing is also one of the first exercises you can do postpartum to help your core and pelvic floor muscles work together again. Engaging your transverse abdominals helps to close any diastasis recti and working pelvic floor contractions strengthen your pelvic floor to decrease any prolapse that may have developed from pregnancy and birth. FYI - This video was recorded when I was 5 weeks pregnant so you'll get an insiders view on how things are going during my first trimester. *Women with stronger cores tend to show later in pregnancy and these exercises assist in reducing lower back pain due to your growing baby belly.

Last year Tori Levine's, founder or Mommy Barre™, son was diagnosed with VEO-IBD and the medication initially given worked for a few months. A referral to the VEO-IBD Clinic at CHOP was a game changer. This clinic is the top for treating VEO-IBD. They are able to use treatments that are not used elsewhere. This is a look back on the past year for the founder's family as well as the explanation of why Mommy Barre™ donates 10% of proceeds to CHOP.
