Scaling & Safety
General Regressions: If your balance feels unstable during Bulgarian Split Squats, perform standard bodyweight reverse lunges instead. Elevate your hands on a couch or secure chair for Push-ups / Knee Push-ups to keep your back flat, and use a bilateral two-leg bridge if Glute Bridges (Single leg) causes joint discomfort. Perform Plank Toe-touches slowly from a kneeling position to protect your spinal posture.
Pregnancy (Trimester 2 & 3): Avoid the crossing motion if your hips or pelvis feel unstable or ache; switch Bulgarian Split Squats to standard tracking split squats while holding a wall for balance. Elevate your hands on a sturdy wall or frame for Push-ups / Knee Push-ups and Plank Toe-touches so you remain angled safely and prevent your belly from straining or bulging. Swap Glute Bridges (Single leg) for wide-stance air squats, and always use the talk test to check your exertion limits.
Postpartum: Moving your body dynamically through deep lines can place high pressure on a recovering pelvic floor. Shorten your range of motion or move to standard unweighted glute bridges if Glute Bridges (Single leg) or Bulgarian Split Squats create a heavy dragging feeling down below. Focus on a strong, controlled exhale as you push away from the floor during Push-ups / Knee Push-ups and as you transition your weight during Plank Toe-touches.
