Whats the frequency of the letter d in:
You should be able to differentiate between breaths now- belly, side vs. rib cage vs. chest. Stand if front of a mirror or video yourself performing each breath. In fact, do each a few times. Notice how your body feels and responds. Finish with 20 belly breaths.
Advanced Glute Activation. I feel like we are all at a level to do and appreciate this warm-up. If you are in your third trimester and getting close to your EDD, you may just want to do warm-up and move through this a few times and then go for a walk:) Perform 30 with both legs and 15 singles. Rest as needed.
Side lunges. Women either love these or hate these;) I am not great at these, but I’ve certainly learned to appreciate them. Remember, tall chest and choose weights confidently.
2 Rounds of Work. You know the work you have to do. Approach the workout with the intention to do each movement unbroken and rest between rounds. If you are 35 weeks or further, then perform 2 or less rounds.
HIP FLEXOR STRETCH. Spend at least 2 minutes on each side. And yes, you can do a minute at a time.
SQUAT THERAPY. Spend at least 2 minutes in the bottom of a squat. Use support if you need.

I was not able to do the side lunges due to groin/pelvis pain. I notice just a weird pulling sensation any time I do lunges, Bulgarian split squats, or even running (which I had to stop doing pretty early in second trimester). Because I was doing the workout at 6am, I wasn’t able to ask what I should do as a substitute, so I just did 3×8 light front squats focusing on sitting back with a tall chest. In general, what would have been a good move to sub out?
Metcon wasn’t as bad as it looked on paper. I used 44# kb and 20# db. But for whatever reason the workout made me really hungry after!
Thank you for that detailed response! I’ve never had issues with pelvis pain before. I do see a chiropractor every other week, but I haven’t really brought up this specifically because I assumed it was normal since my pelvis was changing and widening over pregnancy, and I only feel it with certain movements in CF (my training motto was “If it feels weird or uncomfortable, don’t do it”, so I haven’t really tried any of these movements in a while). It’s not painful per se, but just a weird feeling like I could pull my groin. I will DEFINITELY bring this up at my appointment tomorrow! I don’t know why I would expect it’s “normal” to feel pain/discomfort like that…I guess maybe all I hear is about how awful and uncomfortable pregnancy “should” be so I chose to just deal with it. Sad!
Definitely a decent motto you got there;) Let me know how it goes at the chiropractor!
Is there no workout for Today, 5/13? I got Mon, Tue, Thur, but nothing today?
We are working on it. Not sure why it did not post at 3am.
16″ is completely fine. 20″ was just the upper limit for today. Good job moving today!
