✨ Hey girl, in case no one ever told you… strengthening your hip flexors can help support pelvic stability before, during, and after pregnancy.
A great hip flexor strengthening exercise is lifting the kettleball. Make sure you also stretch on the birth ball and do mobility movements.
Not pregnant yet? Add hip flexor strengthening to your workout routine now if your hip flexors are weak. Training your body before pregnancy is extremely important.
If you are pregnant, strengthening your hip flexors helps support:
🤰🏽Optimal Fetal Positioning
Your hip flexors connect your pelvis to your spine. Strong muscles help support balanced pelvic alignment as baby settles into position.
🤰🏻Maximizing Pelvic Space
Labor requires your hips and pelvis to move in different positions. Strength and mobility helps support the range of motion needed as your baby moves down the birth canal.
🤰🏿Posture Support
As your belly grows, your center of gravity shifts forward. Maintaining strength in your hip flexors helps support pelvic alignment, posture, and can reduce strain on your lower back.
✨ Remember: Strengthening and mobility work best together.
