And for any other preggos out there, these are recommended to help open the pelvis so baby can get in an optimal birthing position, say if baby is facing forward instead of backward, or breech. My doula even had me do these during labor–I just love it when I can multitask!

Wow, you do a very uneven squat. I feel like a wimp–I can only do this on my aerobic step.

Oh, and you look great in my Fig shirt!

hmm, almost like a squat and step up combo… i’ll have to see if i can find a steady surface to try them on. oh, maybe the bleachers at the track! if there’s no one around to watch… :)

I like these ones that require so much focus and attention to performing them correctly… it makes them seem to go by faster:)

monica- you bet! I love these and you can pretty much do them anywhere. you can even do them on stairs if you have a flight of stairs in your house.

tfh- you need ‘em with all that running you do. you’re a mad woman.

FBG- me too. at the gym. unfortunately my frst reaction is to go “WHOOPS!” all high pitched and squealy. No one said a word. that was the worst part. they just looked at me. i hate my gym.

Erin- why would you do that!? did you atleast get it on camera?

I would NOT recommend trying these on, say, an office chair with wheels.
But I did anyway!

Killer! And seriously, it requires coordination. I would know. I’ve fallen down doing them before. lol.

I used to do this because it was one of the exercises my phys. therapist suggested for avoiding knee injuries. But then I got lazy and forgot about it. My knees thank you for the reminder.

Great post! I’m all about the strength training but NOT all about the gym. This is a great exercise I can do at home. Thanks!
