REBUILD: WEEK 2 OVULATION

MOVE.

In the ovulation phase, you will have a ton of energy because estrogen and testosterone are at peak levels. This is the time to crush that HIIT workout, interval sprints, cycling, boot camp, and kickboxing.

This time of the month is great because hard workouts feel amazing and you’ve got energy to burn! But remember to keep that mombody core engaged correctly. See my video about jumping before you are off and running!

Now that we have learned the BAB breath, it’s time to put it to work while doing high impact exercise. This week we learn to properly engage our pelvic floor while jumping. This is something worth practicing because the more you do it, the better your body becomes at remembering to do it on its own when you are running, jumping, or doing anything high impact that may lead to a leaky bladder. (The first video is an HIIT workout I recorded but you can fast forward to 9:40 where I finally discuss how to jump). By all means, feel free to do any other HIIT workout out because there are a million better ones to choose from. Just as long as you understand how to engage your pelvic floor properly before you leave me!

Our second goal for movement this week is to get used to foam rolling our mombody. The second video shows you how to foam roll your whole body while also loosening up postural and breathing muscles.

This is good practice for what’s to come in Week 3.
