Below is a detailed list of how to perform the exercises ….

Duck Squat

  • To perform the Duck Squat stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, activate your core and place hands together out in front of you.
  • Next squat down until your butt is parallel with the ground and this is your starting position.
  • To begin the squat lower your butt down as far you can until it almost touches your heels, push back up to the starting position keeping your weight in your heels, this completes one repetition.
  • Preform the weighted version exactly the same way while holding your desired weight.

Jump Squat

  • Begin in a standing position with your feet slightly narrower than shoulder width, hands at your side, head forward and core engaged.
  • Squat down, bending at your hips with your back straight, core engaged and looking forward swing your arms back.
  • With a quick pause at the bottom, push up with your feet into a jumping motion.
  • Pay close attention to your landing position as you can cause injury to your ankles and other areas. When landing, squat back to the lowered position and repeat.
  • Preform the weighted version exactly the same way while holding your desired weight.

Pointed Leg Pulses

  • Start on all fours with knees placed directly under the hips and elbows below the shoulders; legs should be touching. Engage your core and from there, lift one leg up from the ground, keeping it at a 90-degree angle, and point toes up at the ceiling.
  • Making sure that your leg muscles are tightened pulse your leg up towards the ceiling making sure you always keep your leg above your hips.
  • Preform the weighted version by holding a light hand weight between your thigh and calf (in your knee gap)- remember to squeeze it tight so it doesn’t fall out.

Fire Hydrants

  • Begin on all fours with your arms directly under your shoulder and knees under your hips.  Make sure your core is engaged to keep your back straight.
  • Keeping the kneeling position raise left leg out to the side, parallel to the ground. Maintain for a second and slowly return to the initial position.
    Repeat movement with same leg until set is finished. Repeat the exercise using the right leg.
  • Preform the weighted version holding a light hand weight between your thigh and calf (in your knee gap)- remember to squeeze it tight so it doesn’t fall out.

Pile Squats

  • Start standing with your feet slightly wider than hip width apart, your core engaged and your toes turned out about 45 degrees.
  • Bend your knees, and lower your body straight down, keeping your hips under your shoulders, your core engaged and your back straight. Make sure your knees open over, but not past, your toes as they bend. Slowly straighten back up.
  • Preform the weighted version the exact same way while holding your desired weight.

Squat with Side Leg Lift

  • Start from a standing position, with feet together. Make sure your feet are shoulder-width apart. Bend your knees lowering your butt as if you’re going to sit in a chair.
  • Straighten your legs and slowly lifting your right leg to the side as high as you can while keeping yourself stable and upright making sure you are engaging your core. Lower your right leg as you bend both legs into a squat. You can alternate your legs if you wish or repeat on the same side.
  • Preform the weighted version the exact same way while holding your desired weight.

Once you have completed your desired amount of reps make sure that you stretch out your legs. I use the relax and stretch segment on the Healthy Mummy DVD or you can try these easy yoga stretches

“I have had great success following this challenge, I did the advanced version and have only been doing this challenge along with 1 run per week and I have seen great results! The challenge doesn’t take long to complete and can be broken up throughout the day if you prefer.”

Don’t forget that everyone’s results will vary but if you put in the work you will reap the rewards.

We also do not recommend any exercise or stomach exercises until you have had full clearance from your Doctor or Physiotherapist post birth – which for mums who have had C-Sections could be many many months post birth and trying to do exercise before you are ready could lead to severe injury.
