Key wellness strategies / self-care & productivity-style tips

  • Safe workout setup (especially for pregnancy):

    • Equipment-free, trimester pregnancy friendly
    • Use a soft surface under you (since you’ll work on the floor)
    • Ensure you can see the screen to follow form cues

  • Form-first mindset (reduces risk and increases effectiveness):

    • Maintain a neutral spine (avoid shifting hips forward or rotating the pelvis)
    • Keep a straight line from head to tailbone
    • Squeeze glutes/inner thighs intentionally to activate target muscles
    • Breathe during holds and pulses (don’t hold your breath)

  • Core-supported positioning (stability/self-care):

    • Prioritize core support (e.g., “zipper”/ribs closed cues)
    • Avoid letting the core “dip” during leg movements
    • Prevent pelvic tilting/arching during bridges/hip work

  • Options for comfort (listen to your body):

    • For glute bridges/hip thrusts, use either floor bridges or elevated hip thrusts (bench/chair) if lying flat feels uncomfortable
    • Short recovery moments (shake legs out, rest intervals, brief child’s pose)

Workout structure (lower body, no equipment)

Squats (basic)

  • Feet slightly wider than shoulder width, toes slightly out
  • Pulse at the bottom, come up while keeping pelvis neutral
  • Emphasize soft knee bend and glute squeeze

Single-leg focus (split stance / kickstand style) — both sides

  • One foot forward, one leg back as a support “kickstand”
  • Hinge at hips, focus on supporting leg glute
  • Progress to a single-leg squat with the same rules (chest lifted, core stable)

Lateral lunges / side lunges — wide stance

  • Treat as single-leg squats
  • Sit back to one side: heel stays down, toes stay grounded, weight evenly distributed
  • Press floor away and squeeze inner thighs as you move through center

Toes-out squat with knee-out cue

  • Turn toes out (between two walls concept), press knees out
  • Think inner thighs as magnets
  • Maintain height/tall posture and prevent knee hyperextension

Glute bridges / hip thrusts

  • 30 seconds continuous bridges: up/down with neutral spine
  • 30 seconds with holds/pulses: lower halfway and lift/squeeze halfway
  • Optional modification: elevated hip thrust instead of lying flat

Side-lying clam shells — both sides

  • Forearm support, stacked shoulder/elbow
  • Lift with glute + core control, open knee, then lower slowly

Donkey kicks / fire hydrant sequence — both sides

  • Tabletop position; core supported (“ribs closed”)
  • Kickback/extension: lift and extend, then bend in
  • Circle to side/back (“fire hydrant”)
  • Finish with a pulse hold (not about height—about glute squeeze, hips square)

Cool-down

  • Child’s pose with a few deep breaths
