Does rolling over in bed while pregnant feel like Does rolling over in bed while pregnant feel like an Olympic event? Was it just me? 😆 There can be sooo much discomfort in the low back, groin and pelvis, but this tip is life-changing ✨ Lmk if you try it! One of the reasons we do so much glute work in the Prenatal Pilates & Push Prep program! #thebellemethod #pregnancyproblems #prenatalpilates #momproblems #expectingmom #momtobe
Comment LRL and we will send you a free workout fr Comment LRL and we will send you a free workout from the brand new Living Room Lift program that's launching next month! Friends I am HYPED about this program! 🔥🔥 This is all about building muscle from home, combining heavier dumbbells + Pilates. It's the best of both worlds - deep core Pilates technique along with weightlifting to get unparalleled results! ✨ Let's do this. I'm right there with you. Love, Nikki #livingroomlift #thebellemethod
Are you blowing out your pelvic floor when trying Are you blowing out your pelvic floor when trying to engage your abs? I also see this happen when people overcorrect for a rib flare. Upper ab gripping is like bracing from the top down - it's a bad habit for your lower abs and pelvic floor. It's associated with incontinence, prolapse, a stubborn low belly pooch and restricted breathing. No merci. We must stop bracing down when we try engage the core. The upper abs and obliques can be like bullies that always want to take charge. And the deeper lower transverse abs never stand a chance. Try this drill on hands and knees. I like to cue students to feel the area between your belly button and pubic bone draw in and up as you exhale - without getting the ribs involved. Try it. Lmk how it goes. You can break these patterns. Your core will be hella transformed with you do! Promise 🤘😍 Want more education like this to finally get results? Join the Pelvic Floor & Core Restore Course. #thebellemethod #pelvicfloorexercises #corestrength #deepabs #exercisetips #pilatesinstructor #absafterbaby #fitnesstips #obliquedominance #ribgripping #prolapse
After pregnancy, many women develop rib flare, whe After pregnancy, many women develop rib flare, when the ribs stay open and stuck. It's not just an aesthetic thing that makes you need to buy bras in a bigger band size: Rib flare impacts: Breathing mechanics (your diaphragm can't move well) Your nervous system (vagus nerve isn't stimulated) Core recovery (diastasis recti is harder to fix) The good news? You can retrain your ribs to move again. These flex band drills help your ribs glide down and in so you can breathe better, feel calmer, and build a stronger more functional core. This and SO much more is in the online Core Restore Course. Get a road map for results. Join the thousands of others who are transforming their core and pelvic floor - from rib flare, incontinence, prolapse and diastasis recti...it's never too late. #thebellemethod #corerestore #ribflare #postnatalworkout #diastasisrecti
I was told to aim higher...to do more than "just t I was told to aim higher...to do more than "just teach fitness." So I did. 20 years later I've built a community, a movement, a purpose. For anyone struggling with self doubt - always remember why you started. You have a gift, and that's something you must never under estimate. Keep going. Love, Nikki Ps. Shoutout to @monizstudios for capturing this drone footage of the class I recently taught at the @esteelaudercanada longevity retreat ✨
