@baby.mommy.athletics: Same movement. VERY different stimulus. 👀 A standing march might look simple, but changing how you load it completely changes what your body has to control. ✨Bodyweight march: balance, coordination + foundational core control ✨Dumbbell march: adds external load and challenges your trunk to stabilize while you move ✨Band around the feet: increases resistance through the moving leg and demands more hip, pelvic + core control This is why I don't believe in simply making postpartum workouts “harder.” Progression isn't about adding more for the sake of adding more. It's about choosing the right challenge for where your body is TODAY — then gradually building strength, stability and confidence from there. Because postpartum training should be intentional, not intimidating. 🤍 Save this for your next workout and send it to a mom who needs to see that progression doesn't always mean heavier weights. #Core #CoreWork #PostpartumJourney #BabyMommyAthletics #PostpartumFitness
