Posture awareness. Set your standing posture and find your bell breath. Be sure you chest does not move at all. We are focused on the belly here. I want you to send love to your baby today. Put your hands on your belly and visualize light shinning from your hands into your belly. See your baby soaking up your rays of love. Spend at least 5 minutes visualizing and breathing.

Hey! I reached 35 weeks of pregnancy (woot woot!!!) so I just wanted to check in with you and see if there are any further modifications I should be doing at this point. Energy levels are pretty variable at this point. Some days I feel like my normal self, and other days I can barely survive the work day and just have to rest all evening. Pelvis pain is getting better since I added in more sets of the functional progression 2 and glute bridges (my chiro told me to do more of these and I was like yeah already doing them with BirthFit!) to help with stability.Thanks!
HI KATIE! I just sent you an email! Sounds you like you are doing great on the fitness part of things. Listen to your body. Don’t push it right now. Keep walking and squats in the mix at least 3-4x week. Look forward to hearing from you. -LM
I was feeling better today. Maniky just tired but i wanted to get some kind of exercise in after my day at work because I had energy. So i did all of todays minus the conditioning piece. I wasnt able to do all the gkute bridges because I kept getting really bad heartburning laying on my back. So i did all of that and then cooled down and relaxed with the romwod workout for today. :)
