These movements may build familiarity, but should not be challenged with load or intensity, even if it feels good to be training in this capacity again.

Week 5 & 6: Consistency

Your strategy and routine have been established and now it’s time to focus on building into consistent application of your individual strategy, tendencies and movements. Focus on maintaining quality movement patterns and feeling more comfortable in your body for where it’s at right now.

Week 7 & 8 : Confidence

You will begin to feel more confident in how to apply conscious effort of your core and pelvic health considerations to your choice of movement moving forward. You will find that with practice, it will become more automatic, which leads to confidence in knowing how to truly listen to your body.
