Day 11 – Posterior vs. Anterior
As your uterus and baby grow in the front (anterior) of your body, it’s vital to strengthen your back (posterior).
A good format to structure your workouts by is 2:1 back exercises to front. Double up on those posterior exercises Mama! Why? Because your growing belly and enlarging breasts are pulling your over, hunching your back, stretching your posterior muscles, and tightening your anterior muscles. You can’t thrive bent over, you make the most out of life standing up straight!
Examples of posterior exercises:
-deadlifts (any variety)
-glute/ham hip raise
-pull ups
-rows (any variety)
-tricep push downs, overhead exts, etc
-upright rows
