Ever feel like your glutes completely vanished or lost their shape postpartum?? Enter the infamous Mom Butt! 🍑
It's super common and actually less about muscle loss and more about postural changes and compensation strategies that your body adopted during pregnancy, postpartum, and breastfeeding.
1. During pregnancy your center of gravity shifts forward and we start to tuck our pelvis and clench our glutes to help stabilize. This keeps our glutes in a shortened position.
2. While feeding our baby, a lot of us are probably in a more slouched position which effectively reduces the ability of our posterior chain (aka glutes, etc.) to function!
3. Lastly, breastfeeding is a high metabolic demand which often mobilizes fat stores out of our hips and glutes ☹️
The good news? You CAN work those glutes back into the conversation.
Begin by improving your hip mobility and returning to functional strength training with exercises like:
🧘🏻♀️Hip cars
🧘🏻♀️Puppy pose
🧘🏻♀️Hip airplanes
💪 Hip hinges/Deadlifts
💪 Bridges
💪 Squats
Mom Butt doesn’t have to be permanent. It just means your body deserves a little extra attention. That's where we come in!
