Functional fitness for moms looks like this 👇 

Every deadlift, squat, and lunge in the dancebody studio is practice for the lifting, carrying, and twisting of real life. And we NEED it.

That’s what strength training is actually for: making everyday movements achievable, not just building a hot bod, although that is a compliment to the work.

The moves: 
Deadlift → bending over and lifting 
Plié squat → getting low and back up 
Cross Body Swings → twisting with a load 
Reverse lunge → getting up from the floor
Weighted crunch → core strength on the floor 
Overhead press → lifting overhead 

If you’re building strength again postpartum OR just looking to gain better functional strength at any age - start with the basics and make them count. 

Save this and send it to a friend who still thinks that building strength is optional. 

Which move would you add?
