Original caption

This is one of my favorite ways to train glutes while focusing on control, recovery, and mind muscle connection. I love using a Pilates style glute session as a lighter third lower body day to complement 2 focused glute strength days: the exact 2:1 Glute Method I use throughout my programs. The goal is to build strength while also giving your body time to recover, improve movement quality, and really connect with the muscles you’re training. ✨ During pregnancy, it’s all about adapting, staying consistent, and training with intention as your body changes. 👉🏻 This is also the approach I’m incorporating into my StrongHER Pregnancy Program, along with strength training, core + pelvic floor work, mobility, and labor prep 🤍
