Morgan Rose Moroney, a fitness trainer and gymnastics enthusiast, inspires her followers with creative workouts and candid advice on fitness and postpartum recovery. Recently, she shared a video on Instagram of herself performing a handstand on two platforms, captioning the post, “It’s been a good 7 months since I’ve done this!!! A bit stiff, definitely need to iron out the kinks but she’s moving 😜.” From Pilates to core circuits, Moroney proves that consistency and adaptation are key to a healthy lifestyle.
Moroney shared some of her favorite core exercises in this Instagram video. She captioned it, “I don’t think you understand how excited I was for this. I missed my @cultureofmotion core circuits ✨Taken from the essentials program!!! Ofc I’ve still been doing core focused work but only specific exercises that I wouldn’t do outside of pregnant and postpartum recovery, so it felt nice to get back to my usual exercises ☺️”
Moroney likes to do Pilates workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself using a reformer. Moroney captioned the post, “Sometimes 10 mins is all you got 🫶🏼💞So grateful for this stunning reformer from @yourreformer making postpartum movement at home as easy as can be. A life saver for my body and mind at the moment 🙏🏼”
Mornoney likes to run on the treadmill in order to do some cardio. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing so. Moroney captioned the post. “Let me tell you this, being postpartum and running again is an EXPERIENCE. You’ve got more things jiggling than ever 😂To my big booby girlies, how do you ever do this!!!”
Moroney likes to use weights to workout. She shared this video of herself doing hip thrusts with a barbell on Instagram. She captioned it, “Disassociating or just dying… or both 😂🥵Let me get real for a second ⬇️Getting back into lifting has been a bit of a slap in the face, I have never actually had a set back this big before in regards to my capabilities as an athlete. I’ve never seriously injured myself, or had any reason to slow down and because of this I have noticed now that I’ve always been working at doing more or remaining in a maintenance phase of strength, general fitness or skill work. PP is a big deal, there is no room for ego’s or silly expectations, you must just look after yourself and put in the work and be okay being a beginner again 🙏🏼”
In the previous Instagram video, Moroney is seen doing hip thrusts. According to Gymless, hip thrusts are very beneficial. “Hip thrusts are a controlled and powerful movement, mainly focusing on the glutes, hamstrings, lower back, and core. This exercise is vital for developing a stronger posterior chain, contributing to improved athletic performance, alleviating lower back pain, and enhancing overall physique. Considering that about 65 million Americans experience some form of back pain, hip thrusts are a great exercise to include in your routine.”
