3 of my go-to core moves at 38 weeks pregnant! Comment “TRAIN” and I’ll send you my workouts!! *Must be following me to get a message☺️ These bird dogs have been around pretty much my whole pregnancy and even before - if you aren’t doing them (pregnant or not) add them in!! I try to do core work 2-3x a week while pregnant whether it’s on a recovery day or after a workout! Each exercise 8x (each side) Repeat 3x I can’t believe how close we’re getting!!!!🤰🏼 When did you go into labor?! Early? Late?

I’ve been seeing this trend and everyone’s “transformations” but tbh this one was a special one for me🫶🏻 Comment “TRAIN” and I’ll send you my workouts I do every week💪🏻 I can’t tell you how proud I am of both seasons postpartum and pregnancy and how my body has taken on so much. Postpartum is hard. Pregnancy is freaking hard. I won’t even lie. I was actually ~8 weeks pregnant in that first video and had put in so much work postpartum to just FEEL strong again in my runs and in my workouts. Fast forward to now and this pregnancy has felt 10x stronger than my first and I’m just so dang proud of my body and all it has done these last 37 weeks. I struggle with feeling so “out of control” of my body during pregnancy but this time I did things so different and to still be lifting, walking, playing with my almost 2 year old every day I am so grateful. Here’s to the final weeks🫶🏻 and another postpartum season of growth!

I got my first Boston Qualifier in 2016. I got my second BQ in 2019. I cried…both times. & still those are two of the best days of my life. Running Boston in 2017 was absolutely incredible. It broke me. But made me appreciate the distance more. 🦄For those wanting to qualify for Boston (or even racing with big goals), I want you to know: I’ve ran that 4 hour marathon thinking, “I’m so far away from qualifying”, I’ve had the 3:35 pacers pass by me watching my dreams slip away, & I’ve showed up to a marathon to only have it destroy me. 👏🏼What I’ve learned is this: 💙, if you have a dream - like qualifying for the Boston Marathon - never EVER give up on it. . 💙I learned that you have to surround yourself with people who believe in you. Who never give up on you. Force you to level up. 💙I learned that chasing a dream requires you to do things you’ve never done, work harder than you’ve ever worked, and a never ending belief that you will accomplish it. . 💙I learned that in running, there are good days and there are bad days - we grow from BOTH. . 💙I learned that Boston doesn’t require a photo - it requires a time. It doesn’t matter how big your thighs are, how much you weigh, or anything. 💙💛What I learned more than anything though is this: the day you achieve that goal or dream will be the most perfect day that was all part of this greater plan. It will be worth all the waiting, all the work, all the belief in yourself, and if that takes days, months, years, numerous tries - it just makes your journey that much sweeter. 🫶🏻For those running Boston on Monday - GOOOD LUCK!!!!! The best advice someone gave me (that’s wasn’t course related) was LOOK UP and soak in every minute. You earned to be there!! ARE YOU RACING?! Are you going for a BQ one day?!

It all starts with you🫶🏻 I love that he’s seen his mom and dad lift weights, run, walk, all the things as part of daily life since he was born. He loves to grab a weight and join me. He loves to flex his muscles because he feels strong. He even pointed at the heaviest weight yesterday and said “here mama”. 😅 On our walks he says “mama run” and “go mama”. ☺️ Do your kids workout with you? Do they go on runs with you?

Fitness, working out, running, all 👏🏻of 👏🏻 it has changed so much for me as a new mom. The LAST SLIDE🥺 Real talk: I think something that was a huge adjustment for me was giving up so much of my “me” time on my terms after my first baby. It was so hard. Coming from workouts I could do whenever for an hour at the gym and runs 5 days a week to truly taking what I can get. This might not be everyone’s case but it took some time for me to be more flexible and something I’m still working on. It makes me nervous heading into postpartum with another baby because I struggled with that part of me for a little bit. Such a bigger purpose now and I have a little one watching me and another one here soon🥺🫶🏻🫶🏻 ALSO: if any new moms are reading this - I’m only two years out but it gets easier & you start feeling more and more yourself with every week that passes! I feel so strong from being so intentional with my build back, so it’s worth it to put in the work on your core, pelvic floor, and basic movements🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 Let me know if you relate to any of these!!

CORE MOVES I’m doing this week 👏🏼🔥 First - love this song!!! Second - I can’t believe I’m 35 weeks this week! Videos are sped up a little to fit in but did them nice, slow, and controlled focusing on breathing and core connection👏🏼 Today I walked 20 mins and then did 3 rounds of these 3 moves 8 reps each round! *note: I had no issue laying on my back for the dead bug but listen to your body here if you’re pregnant #coreexercises #pregnancy #fitpregnancy #fitness #strongmom #workoutmotivation #workout #fitnessmotivation

Nothing changes…if nothing changes👏🏼👏🏼 I felt so far away from my goals postpartum the first time but as I get closer and closer to that season again I love seeing what I did before and CAN do again💪🏻 I know I post a lot of my workouts and runs on here but truly it’s the work people don’t see that matters. Do it for YOU. Tips that helped me: 🔥 ABF workouts 3-5x a week (comment TRAIN and I’ll send you my workouts!!) 🔥 Protein at every meal/snack 🔥 120oz of water daily 🔥 10k steps a day (whether that was walks, runs, etc) Motivation will come and go but staying consistent each day and week helped me more than anything. When you have goals, you’ll make it happen. 👏🏼 . . . . . Strong #strength #viral #relatable #momsofinstagram #pregnancy #postpartum #fitness #fitnessworkouts #workouts

I hope through my page you see you CAN workout during pregnancy and feel good and strong. Working out during pregnancy makes me feel the strongest I’ve ever felt.👏🏼 It doesn’t mean I’m pushing myself to PRs but it is incredible to see what this body is capable of. Blows my mind. 🔥Did you workout or run through your pregnancy?!?! *in case it needs to be said obviously listen to your doctor about exercise and what your limits are

Pregnancy is hard but doesn’t mean we can’t be strong 💪🏻 31 weeks and count down to baby is on - let’s keep going baby! What week did you go into labor?!?

4 wellness hacks I’m doing to feel good at 31 weeks pregnant🫶🏻 1. Exercising even when I don’t feel like it. Even when I was so sick my first trimester I still stretched or tried to move my body. Yes I rest when I can and take rest days but I know movement has helped me more than ever this pregnancy. Working out - with weights, body weight, or even just core on the floor - has kept me sane, strong, and my body feeling so good! I feel like it has helped with movement throughout my day too! 2. Protein! I can tell a big difference when I don’t eat enough protein so I make it a point every day to have high protein snacks and meals! Really when my nutrition is off or I’m eating lots of sweets I notice my body and energy are way off so really trying to fuel my body has helped me sleep and feel better day to day. 3. Walks! As a runner through and through I just seem to gravitate toward weights and walks during my pregnancies. I did some runs at the beginning but have loved giving more energy (what I have after chasing around a toddler) to weights and a 2-3 mile walk every day. I try to incline walk 3-4x a week to keep my endurance up along with workouts and that’s something I didn’t do last time that I’m loving! The walks have been so good for me! 4. Hydrate! This is such a given but really drinking enough fluids and electrolytes has made me feel good!! 🤟🏻OKAY TELL ME: what was the best advice you got while you were pregnant - can be ANYTHING!

Reminder if you’re pregnant or worried about your postpartum fitness - it is possible to feel stronger than before 🤟🏻🫶🏻 I remember this first video and taking it feeling SO far away from fit, in shape, or any form of myself but I told myself one day it would be a good reminder of how far I’ve come. My body isn’t the same as it was before my first baby & trust me I didn’t just “bounce back” but a year postpartum I felt the healthiest, strongest, and my running was coming back again! Now in my second pregnancy and looking at postpartum again I know it IS possible to still live out your goals and dreams, feel stronger, and feel fit. & it didn’t require hours on end working out and dieting for months! Your purpose and why has changed postpartum. Your body is stronger than ever before🫶🏻

As much as pregnancy changes our body there is something about being pregnant and working out that makes you feel the proudest of your body you’ve ever felt. I’m not my strongest right now. I’m not my most in shape. I may be out of breath walking up stairs. But my body has never felt more powerful doing all it’s doing. It’s crazy how the one hour a day I spend working out is the strongest I’ve ever felt in my life even at 29 weeks pregnant. If you’re pregnant or going through the body changes, know it’s all temporary and it goes by so fast so don’t forget to take it all in and see how incredible your body is for doing this!🫶🏻🫶🏻
