Spoiler alert: your hips aren’t usually the problem. The low ab hip click: It is mega common. And while alarming, know that it isn’t effing anything up. But here is what it does signal: 🫣Your hip flexors are trying to do the job of the deep core. This can cause compression. Snapping hip syndrome usually happens when a tendon slides over a bony part of the hip, most commonly the iliopsoas in the front or the IT band on the outside. It’s often related to muscle imbalances, tight hip flexors/TFL, or weak glutes and pelvic stabilizers that change how the hip moves. When your ribs flare and your pelvis, tips forward, your hip flexors yank your leg down, which can cause that popping or clicking feeling in the front of your hips. ✅Next time you’re trying core exercises like leg lowers, marches, or dead bugs (common diastasis recti rehab exercises), try this trick. 1️⃣Bring ribs down 2️⃣Tuck your pelvis a little posteriorly (you still want a small arch under your low back, just not a huge one like you probably have) 3️⃣exhale audibly as you lower your leg See if that helps. It also might be that you just aren’t quite ready for the variation of core work you are doing. Instead of leg lowers, try heel taps or marches. Instead of doing a full dead bug, try keeping your elbows and knees bent. Curious how many of you have (or had) snapping hip? With deep core work, you’ll notice it less and less! #lowabs #deepcore #diastasisrecti

You’ve been sucking in for years. That’s why something so primal is now hella hard. ‼️Last day to get 25% of the 6-week Glute Builder Challenge. Comment BUILDER or link in bio. The first thing I teach you before we even pick up a weight is how to properly engage your core and pelvic floor. Boring, but life changing. If you are doing the challenge, go to the Start Here section and start practicing now!! If you don’t know how to properly engage your deep core (especially if you are a mom), then you can do all the core exercises in the world and you’ll never see results. Almost every woman I coach, when asked to inhale….will breathe up into her chest and shoulders instead of down into her body. I blame society, but that’s another post. LEARN HOW TO BREATHE for actual core healing results: 1️⃣ place your hands firmly on each side of your rib cage 2️⃣inhale through your nose and feel that your ribs expand laterally (like an umbrella opening) 3️⃣exhale audibly out your mouth like a weirdo making a HAAAAA or SSSSS sound. 4️⃣as you exhale, think about pulling your belly in toward spine and up toward your heart. Not ready to join the challenge, but want some help? Comment CORE101 and I’ll teach you how to nail core engagement, because I’m a firm believer that every woman must know how to do it. I’ll always give that for free. Ready to give me 6 weeks to make you love exercise (or hate it less), comment BUILDER and let’s do this! #diastasisrecti #pelvicfloor #prolapse

Leave CORE101 and I’ll send you the free video series that explains how to actually engage your core and pelvic floor in detail! Plus, loads of other important pelvic floor and core tips, too! When you hear your trainer say “engage your core…” it doesn’t mean… ❌SUCKING IN (this makes your ribs flare and so your diaphragm and pelvic floor can’t work together to support you). ❌BEARING DOWN (when you flex like you are about to get punched, it puts pressure DOWN on your pelvic floor) Engaging your deep cord properly is always important, but it is extra important if you are pregnant, newly postpartum, and/or have diastasis recti or prolapse. The connective tissue is already having a time of it recovering, and adding pressure out (sucking in) or down (bearing down) will make things worse, not better. How to engage your core and pelvic floor is a complex topic, so get the free guide (leave CORE101 below) so I can get that lightbulb clicking! #diastasisrecti #pelvicfloor #deepcore #prolapse

Stagger your stance, unclench your booty…save your back! It is super common for moms to have back pain. Why? When our core muscles get “stretched” during pregnancy, they lose tension. The deep core acts like a natural back brace, so when this system is comprised for pregnancy and child birth, we are more likely to compensate with other parts of our body. ❌To give your body stability, you grip your booty under. This is bad for the pelvic floor and it creates so much low back pain. But those little humans (or not so little in some cases) still need to be held, carried, put in and out of their car seat, and hauled through the Target parking lot mid tantrum. Obviously, strengthening your deep core is going to ultimately save your low back and get you to stop butt-gripping. But a general mom life hack: stagger your stance when doing stuff around the house. Think about being a tripod. The more you help distribute weight through your center, the less tax on the low back. And, a staggered stance makes it hard to grip your booty. It also helps the core while you are healing and can lessen prolapse symptoms. BE A TRIPOD! FREE THE CHEEKS! #momlife #backpain #diastasisrecti

One of the best gifts I gave my son was a love of exercise. My little boy who had some stanky push ups at age 10 is now 6’1 and just benched 225 the other day. My PR is 160, so ummm…it is safe to say he is stronger than me now. I never forced fitness. I just let him watch and learn. When he was about 14, he got super interested in training with me and now it is our thing. I LOVE our time lifting together. And when people say it goes by in the blink of an eye, they aren’t playing. He is 17 years old and only has one more year before college. And I am unwell. 🙈😭🥹 I love that our @ritfit.sports machine has a smith machine for when we can’t spot each other, but a free bar, too, for when we workout with each other. It is an epic home gym machine. 🤌Code GMS10 saves 10% on any @ritfit.sports equipment. An awesome Christmas present for the whole family. BTW: this is before my surgery. Don’t worry. I’m not lifting this heavy right now. It will be a few months before I painstakingly try to kick his a$$ and fail! #kidswholift #momswholift #momstrong

Operation LONG GLUTES=STRONG GLUTES You can get your glutes back postpartum! I swear it. I was in the pancake booty club after my twins, too! A tight muscle isn’t a strong muscle! We tend to lose our glute muscles in pregnancy, because we grip our glutes under to compensate for the growing belly. This is the start of postpartum pancake butt already! Then after baby comes, our core is shot. So we grip with our glutes again, trying desperately to find stability. So now you have to retrain your brain to let go! Because you could do all the squats and lunges, and whatever other booty exercises are trending, and you won’t see optimal results until you free the cheeks. Whenever you are doing a glute exercise, think “long and then strong.” Lengthening those cheeks is the most important part of most glute exercises. Your pelvic floor will thank you too. Our glutes and pelvic floor are often a reflection of one another. So learning to lengthen those glutes before contracting them will help your pelvic Floor do the same thing. And a healthy pelvic floor can lengthen and load. I LOVE following @mindfulmess.mom. I started following her because she asked for other accounts to follow that have some edgier style. And she posts with her mission of getting dressed everyday as a mom. We all need anti-frump motivation. So give her a follow.

This trick will SAVE your knees! We squat a lot in my @stronglikeamother.app and we will be squatting a lot in my @menovation perimenopause app coming out late this summer. Why? Because squats work your pelvic floor even more than a Kegel AND it is such a functional exercise! I want you to be pain free as you squat to pick up your kids and your grand kids. The reason a lot of women experience knee pain with squatting is because they grip their glutes under. This is our body trying to compensate for core weakness. As I work to get your core strong, you can work on form. The key is to learn to free your glutes and LENGTHEN your bottom. Using the squat to bench trick can really help. The band is there to help your knees track better and to activate the glute medius. These two tricks combined ought to rewire your brain for pain-free squats. You don’t have to live with knee pain! I got you! #kneepain #fittips #kneepainrelief #kneeproblems #momswholiftweights

The simple hip thrust cue that actually makes your glutes work instead of your low back. Our Glute Builder Challenge starts Monday. Don’t miss the pre-sale (25% off!!). Comment BUILDER or go to link in bio! —6 weeks progressive strength training —$100k in prizes —daily check ins from me, and your community Yes, it will be in SLAM and Menovation late April, but if you are looking for some extra accountability and community to motivate you…do the challenge with us. Plus, you own it for life. In addition to the workouts, you have access to some life-changing core basics lessons, nutrition, tips, and other really helpful information to help you heal and get strong. — We are doing a fair amount of hip thrust in the six week cycle so let’s talk about them! One of the most common mistakes I see is people over extend at the top and their head goes back. Instead, think about bringing your chin to your belt, buckle, and your belt buckle to your chin. This will cue you to do more of a scoop than just a lift. And for a lot of women, this is the key to much better glute activation. #gluteworkout #fittips #momswholift

It’s not what you do. It is how you do it (when it comes to diastasis recti and prolapse). Come learn! Join the 6-week challenge. It starts Monday 3/2!! Pre-sale is 25% off!! Leave “BUILDER” or go to bio!! We are all doing this together. I will be coaching you every step and your community will be behind you!! I have some core engagement practice for you to do already! So get in now and start small. I often get asked, “Is (blank exercise) good for diastasis recti?” I always say, “It depends on how you do it!” Some core exercises are naturally higher pressure on your core and pelvic floor… like sit ups, crunches, and traditional planks. I start my beginners on lower pressure moves intentionally, but my goal is to get you back to doing anything and everything! Always think: big exhale on the hard part! As you exhale, pull belly button IN and UP! #diastasisrecti #pelvicfloor #prolapse

Ummm, if you get it you GET it. Are you team under the c-section shelf or over the c-section shelf? I literally have one style of undies I can wear and that’s it. If it is laundry time, you are going to find me messing with the over/under all day. For a link to the undies I like from Amazon, comment UNDIES and I’ll send it over. I am so grateful for all my strong body has done for me over the years. I’m proud of healing my diastasis recti through yearrrrs of effort. But I’d be lying if I said my postpartum skin didn’t drive me bonkers. It is physically uncomfortable sometimes. Sigh. What causes the c-section shelf and can you improve it? I have a whole free guide that goes in detail and shares a scar massage print out that can help. Comment “C-SECTION” and I’ll send it over. In short—the scar tissue is tight. The skin above is loose from being stretched. And well—gravity. It can get better with scar massage and mobility. I recommend seeing a pelvic floor PT if you can! But to some extent, if we are keeping it real here…a big baby (or babies) and a c-section means you are going to have some “overhang”. It sure gives “hang loose” another meaning 🤣🤣 #csection #csectionshelf #csectionrecovery #csectionmom

Waist trainers eff up your pelvic floor. Training your deep core supports it and is the real “waist trainer” life hack. Stop obsessing over your six-pack muscles with crunches and sit ups! Your deep core (the transverse abdominis) is the muscle that actually pulls your waist in. Oh, and it wraps all the way around our torso so it makes for a happy back, too! Think of it like your body’s built-in waist trainer. When it contracts properly, it wraps around your abdomen like a corset, supporting your spine, stabilizing your pelvis, and gently drawing your waist inward. But here’s the problem: Most workouts train the rectus abdominis (six-pack) while completely ignoring the deeper system that creates real stability and shape. And when women try to “fix” their waist with actual waist trainers, it often backfires. External compression from waist trainers can: • Increase downward pressure on the pelvic floor • Limit diaphragmatic breathing • Reduce deep core activation • Potentially worsen leaking or prolapse symptoms Your core was designed to create pressure from the inside out, not rely on tight garments squeezing you from the outside in. So if your goal is: ✔️ a stronger core ✔️ a flatter waist ✔️ better pelvic floor support ✔️ less back pain …train the deep core, not just the six-pack. Because the best waist trainer…is the one your body already has. How cool is that?! ✨✨Comment CORE101 for a free guide that teaches you how to engage your deep core for real! #diastasisrecti #waistcincher #waisttrainer

Want 5 free bodyweight follow along workouts?! Comment FREEBW! We can do a lot from home or on vacation! This push up tip changes everything! Push ups require head-to-toe strength. So if you want to get your first full push up, you need to practice on an elevated surface. The higher the surface=more modified. As you get stronger, use a lower and lower surface. Now I’m not saying knee push ups are complete trash. If you are at a fitness class and that’s your only option, it is better than nothing! Using an elevated surface for push-ups is also the best for pregnancy and postpartum. It takes some gravity off the connective tissue that runs between our six pack muscles. This is the tissue that typically thins and widen during pregnancy and can result in a lingering diastasis recti. So using an elevated surface is beneficial for your core in so many ways. If you struggle to get push ups—this might be your missing piece!

Spoiler alert: those flat tummy clickbait exercises aren’t doing crap for your diastasis recti “mommy tummy” if you don’t know how to breathe and engage the deep core! 🎈Balloon breathing is one of the most effective ways to retrain your diaphragm, deep core, and pelvic floor. But you have to do it right! Comment CORE101 and I show you how to engage your core step by step. Also, grab a balloon and try this: • Inhale through your nose (expand ribs 360° like opening an umbrella) • Slowly blow into the balloon • Pause at the bottom of the exhale • Watch in a mirror. Tummy should FLATTEN on the exhale, not puff out. Why the balloon is so badass for teaching this: ➡️When you blow into a balloon, you create resistance on the exhale. That resistance forces your transverse abdominis + obliques to actually turn on (instead of just sucking in or bracing). At the same time, it helps your diaphragm return to its natural dome shape—so your entire pressure system can work with you, not against you. ✨ Why this matters: • Activates your deep core (not just your six-pack) • Restores proper breathing + rib cage expansion • Connects diaphragm + core + pelvic floor as a system • Gives instant feedback if you’re bearing down instead of controlling pressure • Can reduce low back pain by improving core stability If your belly is bulging out while you exhale… you’re leaking pressure, not controlling it!! Get the free guide and also, my @stronglikeamother.app has literally helped 100,000 women and counting!! ✨Comment QUIZ to find the best program in the app for you + a free 7 day trial! #diastasisrecti #mommytummy #flattummy

Comment NEWYEAR30 for 30 days free + 25% off both apps! The To the Core Challenge starts 1/5. So even if you don’t keep the app, you can jump in with us and do it totally free! That’s why I always gift 30 days. Pelvic health should be accessible to every woman! This tight muscle near your pelvic floor might be why your look back and/or hip always hurts. When the obturator internus is tight, she can wreak havoc. The obturator internus is a deep hip muscle that literally blends into your pelvic floor. It helps stabilize the pelvis, rotate the hip, and offers support for your pelvic organs. When it’s tight, overactive, or gripping (which is incredibly common postpartum, with chronic stress, or after years of sucking in your tummy), it can cause: • pelvic pain or pressure • tailbone or deep glute pain • pain with penetration or exams • hip pain that won’t resolve • difficulty fully relaxing your pelvic floor • symptoms that don’t improve with strengthening alone Here’s the part most women aren’t told👇 A tight pelvic floor is not a strong pelvic floor. If the obturator internus can’t lengthen and relax, the pelvic floor can’t move well. And pelvic health depends on both strength AND relaxation—just like any other muscle system. That’s why releasing this muscle matters. Not to “loosen everything,” but to restore balance, coordination, and function. So release that little bish and see if you don’t find a little relief. #hippain #pelvicfloor #momproblems

Last day of sale!! Drop FORYOU30 below for 30 days of @stronglikeamother.app. My app is different. Yes, you get workouts that heal your mom bod from the inside out. But you also get tons of tips like this to make every day mom life hurt less. I built this app with more than 20 pelvic floor PTs, doctors, and mental health professionals. You are more than a body that needs to be “snatched.” You are a mom who needs to be strong and learn to move pain-free so she can do all the things! You are a mom who deserves to be free of back pain. You are a mom who deserves to live free of leaking or prolapse heaviness. You are a mom who deserves a healed core and to improve her diastasis recti. If nothing else, go get the free trial and do Core Basics. It will literally change your life. Okay—as for kid holding…let me start by saying you are not a robot. You are a human mother. And a tired, one of that. You won’t have perfect posture all the time, but if you are experiencing pain, it could be because I have some sticking points. The key is NOT perfect posture. It is to vary your posture often! Some things to think about: ✅Instead of cradling with your wrist, try making a fist and keeping your arm straight. This can help with mom wrist and mom thumb. ✅Stagger your stance. This keeps you from gripping your butt under. Tight glutes can make for more back pain and your pelvic floor hates it. Sway hips can also make it harder to heal diastasis recti and even improve prolapse. ✅Try not to jut out your hip. Or at least switch sides often! Hope this tip helps! #backpain #wristpain #momlife #motherhood #momproblems #pelvicfloor

⬇️6 most surprising things I’ve learned since my tummy tuck. I’m 8 weeks out from my abdominoplasty today and it has been a very smooth ride overall. But there are some things that surprised me too (good and bad)! 1️⃣ Lots of haters when you have a surgery like this (and lots of supporters too). Let me tell you, I did not make this decision easily. I loved my mom bod with its skin. I worked hard to rehab it and I did substantially heal my diastasis recti (doc says best job he has seen in 16 years!). But as I got older, I couldn’t help but feel like the skin was weighing me down physically. No one makes this choice with ease. 2️⃣I never had a ton of pain. I thought it would be awful for those first few weeks. I only took Tylenol. I think having a super strong core going into it and understanding how to use my core pressure system helped TONS. It didn’t feel any worse than my c-sections or gallbladder surgery. 3️⃣ Healing is a full time job! I’ve spent a lot of additional time and money on healing post surgery. From lymphatic massages to being sure I’m eating really clean. 4️⃣Eat well or you will swell. I’ve had to be really mindful of my salt intake. I am also being sure to eat lots of protein and fiber and drink water like it’s a full-time job. 5️⃣I lost loads of hair post surgery! Not sure if it is from anesthia or what, but ummm…it was alarming. The shedding has finally slowed way down. 6️⃣Exercise is the last thing on your mind the first few weeks, but by week 6…I was super ready to move again. It has been humbling. I am only working out 3x a week and doing mostly bodyweight. I just started adding in super light weights seated this week. overall, I’m super grateful that I’m feeling as great as I am. I’m looking forward to getting super strong again. I am treating this a lot like a postpartum rehab, which luckily is my job! Oh, and I am still wearing my faja (compression garment) a lot of the day but weaning off it a bit. They are hella bad for your pelvic floor so don’t wear them if you didn’t have surgery! You hear me?! What questions do you have for me? #tummytuck #tummytuckjourney #abdominoplasty #twinmom

It has been almost 4 weeks since my tummy tuck. Yes, I’m glad I did it. I’ve had a few ups and downs, and not lifting weights (or my kid) is super hard for me. But…overall, I haven’t had much pain and I’m healing really well. I waited 12 years after having the twins to make this decision for myself. It wasn’t one I made lightly. I knew it would be a sacrifice for the whole family. Also, I cried all the way up until they put me under. There is loss in losing the skin that so beautifully carried our babies. Here are my thoughts one month in: 1. It is a major surgery. Pick a surgeon you trust. I used Dr. Bansal of @elitemdspa and their team has been awesome. 2. You need help!! Especially the first two weeks. I brought my best friend and let me tell you, you need someone you can be really comfortable with because they see you in some pretty unique situations. (It was nothing she hadn’t already seen in college, so it all worked out). 3. If you have drains. Buy the drain holder. Oh, also a wedge pillow! Comment TTLINKS and I’ll send you the supplies that have been clutch for me. 4. Pain level? It didn’t feel worse than a c-section to me. I do have a high pain threshold. My massage woman jokes that I am hardcore. Well, yeah, I do split squats for fun. 5. Lymphatic massage has helped a lot in helping me manage my fluid retention so the scar can heal. 6. I am starting scar care this week. It won’t look like Frankenstein forever. 7. Diaphragmatic breathing has helped my lymphatic system and kept my connection with my core. 8. Get strong AF before surgery!! I think it has helped me heal. I didn’t need a recliner or lift seat for the potty. I’ve felt mobile and strong from the start. I know that is thanks to MUSCLE! 9. You are going to lose a lot of muscle. Yes, it is sad. But yes, it will come back. ➡️➡️What questions do you have for me? I’m an open book so don’t be shy!
