Low impact strength training

Adding bands around the ankles helps activate the side glutes — an area that can sometimes get overlooked during movements like squats and lunges, which tend to focus more on the back of the legs and glutes.

🚣‍♀️ The rower is one of the most effective full-body workouts you can do—combining cardio and strength training into one low-impact movement. Every stroke works multiple muscle groups while helping improve endurance, posture, and overall conditioning.

📢 Benefits of resistance band training:

✨ Targets and activates the side glutes
✨ Helps improve lower-body strength and stability
✨ Adds extra resistance without heavy weights
✨ Great for warm-ups, activation, or full workouts
✨ Beginner-friendly and easy to modify
✨ Portable and perfect for home or gym workouts
✨ Available in different tension levels to match your goals

Start light, stay low, and feel the burn side to side 🔥💪

Stronger legs start here

🦵 The leg press machine is one of the best ways to build lower-body strength while improving stability, endurance, and overall athletic performance. It targets the quads, glutes, hamstrings, and calves—all while offering more support and control than many free-weight movements.

Benefits of the leg press machine:
✨ Builds lower-body strength
✨ Helps grow and tone the legs & glutes
✨ Improves muscular endurance
✨ Supports better balance and stability
✨ Great for progressive overload
✨ Beginner-friendly and easy to modify
✨ Can help reduce pressure on the lower back compared to some standing lifts

Whether your goal is strength, muscle growth, or leveling up your fitness routine, the leg press deserves a spot in the workout rotation 💪

This is hands down the biggest thing I wish someone had told me about when I had my first baby. I remember the helpless feeling of holding a crying baby and having literally no idea if he was tired, hungry, gassy, or something else entirely.

Wake windows can be so helpful in keeping fussiness at bay and creating healthy day and nighttime sleep habits. Read the short link in my bio to find your baby’s wake window!

If you have any questions or want to talk through how to put these into practice, please reach out! by @cltwellness
