‘I can’t imagine having to physically go in to work with morning sickness’
I got pregnant right before lockdown in March 2020. I found pregnancy tough – for 14 weeks, I had morning sickness that felt like a constant hangover, and a lot of chronic fatigue throughout. Being able to work from home (and sometimes from my bed) allowed me to keep on top of things and remain as productive as usual. I can’t imagine having to go in to work with morning sickness (I honestly don’t know how so many women do it). For me, it definitely highlighted a need for employers to implement more flexible working for pregnant women. Anonymous, Washington DC
‘Raising a child without a village is doable, but lonely’
My baby was born in May 2020. At first, being in our little family bubble with no visitors undoubtedly helped us bond. But by the autumn/winter lockdowns, my husband was working long hours as a doctor and I learned that raising a child without a village is doable but miserable and so very lonely. I didn’t have the mental energy to do any of the things society expects (stopping breastfeeding, naps in a cot etc) so I just followed my instincts day to day. It was probably better for my baby, but now society is reopening and I have to return to work, it all feels very daunting. Grace, nurse, Leeds
‘We had time to adjust without visitors’
While there was anxiety when IVF was put on hold, once it resumed we found having a pandemic baby to be a largely positive experience. Working from home helped with IVF and pregnancy side-effects, and not seeing people gave us more time to look after our own emotional needs. In hospital, we got individualised care versus classes and, after the birth, we had time to adjust without visitors. Anonymous, healthcare worker, Sydney
‘I’ve been able to pitch in a lot more with nappy changes’
The idea that parents have to be exhausted all the time, I’ve learned, is not true. Because I’ve been working from home, and therefore don’t have to commute, we’ve both been able to get enough sleep. It’s also meant that, despite the paltry two weeks statutory paternity leave we are entitled to, I’ve been able to pitch in a lot more with things like nappy changes and putting my daughter down for naps. If it wasn’t for the lockdown, I’d have been out the door before the baby was ready to get up and would get home after she had been put down for the night. James Burch, civil servant, London
‘All our baby needed in the early months was us’
What we have learned is simple: all our baby daughter, Penelope, needed in the early months was us! We didn’t have to worry about changing bags, the incessant bombardment of sleeping and feeding tricks and tips, or the need to save Uncle Jim’s embarrassment while breastfeeding. We were anxious that lack of socialisation would hinder her development but she has enjoyed meeting friends and family as restrictions ease. We are so lucky that, due to these unusual circumstances, we were given the opportunity to hunker down with our baby as a family. Shaza Brannon, chartered town planner, Rutland
‘It was agonising to visit my son for only four hours a day’
Having to work from home with a tiny baby has been challenging, but I’ve been so grateful to be here for my son’s first year. It’s made me think how much my father missed of my early life, and how much I would have missed if I’d been in the office, as well as how much harder it would have been for my wife to do this alone. On the flip side, it was so painful to miss the scans. Our son had to go back into hospital with jaundice after he was born, and it was agonising to be able to visit for only four hours a day. Anonymous, marketeer, London
‘I have fallen in love with my partner all over again’
My baby was born in March, just before the lockdown began. I did those early days without the support that new parents deserve, and though I wish it could have been better, I’m so proud of myself for figuring it out on my own. I have fallen in love with my partner all over again, because we really just had each other. We have never spoken as much, shared as much or worked together as much. It was the ultimate test of our relationship but we have emerged stronger, happier and more content. Anonymous, social worker, Bedfordshire
‘Every stage is a celebration, but it comes with a sense of mourning’
Having your first child is not an experience you ever get to have again, but having a lockdown baby has taken its toll on me. I’m starting to see it in my son, too: the hysterics when a family member we’ve only ever seen through FaceTime comes for a first cuddle; the nights after we go out where he is stressed and can’t sleep, as he’s only ever known these four walls. Every stage of growth is a celebration, but also comes with a sense of mourning – another stage that friends and family will never see. We are so grateful for our little boy, but if we had known the world we would be bringing him into – the lonely nights, the endless juggling of Zoom calls and feeds – we would have waited. Catrin Hampton, Wales
‘A trip to the supermarket provides ample entertainment’
We took our 10-month-old baby to the supermarket for the first time last week, after more than a year of click-and-collect or home delivery. We didn’t have to entertain her for more than an hour while she stared avidly around at her new environment, filled with more people than she had ever seen in her life. Only then did we realise how many hours of the day we were having to actively entertain her. I will never again complain about the need to do the weekly shop, pop to the recycling centre, visit the dentist etc – she has so much to learn from these everyday experiences. They are also a rare chance for her dad and me to switch off and just watch her take it all in. Anonymous, garden nursery worker, Scottish Borders
‘It’s been an incredibly tough time to be pregnant’
After having my second baby in December, I’ve realised it’s not harder with two kids, it was just easier the first time round because I was out meeting friends and family. I was distracted from the crying and constant feeding because I was jumping on and off trains with my son in his pram, going shopping or to baby classes and socialising. This time I felt like I was stuck staring at the same four walls, repeating the same routine day after day, especially in the winter months. It’s been an incredibly tough time to be pregnant, give birth and raise a baby, and I really wish this segment of the population had been offered more support. Suzie Whitehead, baker, Glasgow
‘Lockdown compounded every negative emotion’
I would never do this again. Lockdown compounded every negative emotion and it felt like there was nowhere to turn to apart from my four walls and my limited support bubble. GP and health visitor support was minimal but, with another child to care for (due to schools being shut), I just had to get on with it. I hated this maternity leave and I am dreading when my baby eventually goes to nursery as lockdown babies aren’t used to being around strangers. I don’t want to re-enter the world yet as I feel like it’s only now getting a bit better and I want more maternity leave. Anonymous, solicitor, London
‘It wasn’t what we had planned, but I will cherish these memories’
Navigating motherhood during a pandemic has been challenging, lonely, bewildering and exhausting. But, as we move out of lockdown, it is hard not to reflect on the experience positively and with a sense of pride. We did it, we survived and we are lucky to have a healthy, happy baby. We enjoy seeing his face light up as we introduce him to a world of new experiences: his first swim, his trip to a farm, his first visit to a pub. I have learned to trust my instincts and that I am resilient; to pause and appreciate the small things life has to offer. As my baby approaches his first birthday and I gear up to return to work, I will cherish these memories. Although it wasn’t what we had planned, we wouldn’t have it any other way. Laura Furness, doctor, Manchester
‘I’m grateful for my WhatsApp group of antenatal mums’
We had two lockdown baby boys: one born April 2020 and one born April 2021. Like many parents, we’d say there were pros and cons. Our parents live in Donegal and Orkney, so we weren’t able to introduce them to our first born until he was five months old. While it would have been good to have their help in the early days, the benefit of them meeting him a bit later was that he was much more interactive. There have been and still are times when I’d give anything to hand a baby over to my mum for an hour. The sense of longing to hold our boys is palpable from both sets of grandparents. But I’ve learned to be grateful for what we have, including the WhatsApp group of antenatal mums I met briefly before the first lockdown. No question is too silly and it’s usually answered quickly, no matter the time of day or night. Lydia, social worker, Edinburgh
‘I feel like I haven’t had the maternity leave I deserve’
I have learned that I am a sociable person – not having my friends and family around played havoc with my mental health. I questioned returning to university as I feel like I haven’t had the maternity leave I deserve. I suffer guilt because I did so much with my first child, yet my youngest has missed out. She may never know but this feeling will always be with me. I needed my partner during all my appointments, but this was taken away. I also needed my mum, but she has to shield and our baby doesn’t really know her, which I worry will affect relationships in the future. My daughter gets sensory overload wherever we go; she doesn’t know there is a world outside our house and bubble. Nia Lawal, student, Margate
‘It has been both wonderful and extremely difficult’
I had a baby a year ago in Italy, at the height of the pandemic. It has been wonderful but extremely difficult. Our baby still hasn’t met our families who are in the UK, which has been very hard. Zoom with a baby doesn’t work. There are no baby groups, support networks or cups of tea with friends, and appointments for anything have been hard to get. Aside from that, I can’t complain about the biggest joy in my life who has made the days go so fast and who I have loved being with at home. I just wish I could share him. Joanna, teacher, Italy
‘Taking my baby out terrifies me’
I never thought being pregnant would feel so lonely, and being a new mum was even harder. The perinatal mental health team were amazing, but restrictions meant they couldn’t visit face to face and all appointments were over the phone. Six months later, my maternity leave is already halfway done and my baby has still not had a cuddle from anyone other than me or my partner. Now that restrictions are finally starting to ease my anxiety is at an all time high. Taking my baby out terrifies me yet it should be the most natural thing in the world. Anonymous, nurse, Glasgow
‘We’ve been able to split childcare, feeds and nappy changes equally’
We are lucky. My wife and I retained our employment, received generous parental leave and we have enough space to be with (and escape) each other in comfort. Lockdown has meant we’ve been able to split childcare, feeds and nappy changes equally and, if this had not been the case, I would not have felt the bond as keenly as I do now with my daughter. The first month of Margot’s life was special. It snowed for five days straight and we had no visitors at all. Yes, we would have liked some things to have been different: a lack of health visits meant a potential tongue tie went unnoticed, breastfeeding was a huge struggle and the regimented Covid restrictions at the hospital made for a very traumatic transition during birth. But we realise that our postpartum family bonding could not have been stronger. In a perverse way, we have lockdown to thank. Ed Chilton, psychologist, London

Carry Out the Nordic curl motion, using your palms on the ground to push yourself again up when you can’t make it through the total
vary movement. “Place the ball underneath your thighs and anchor your feet beneath a secure bench,” says Harski.
Make sure the bench is secured to the ground—you
could have to weight its feet down. The motion is completed the identical as the glute-ham elevate and Nordic curl.
They’re especially good for athletes as there has been loads of research showing that Nordic Hamstring Curls could
be very helpful for preventing hamstring injuries.
The weight holder keeps it steady, and the heavy-duty foot plate offers stability.
The instructions under demonstrate how to
perform squats safely when focusing on the glutes.
The selection between the two is dependent upon your particular person targets, health stage,
and preferences. Whether Or Not you prioritize glute growth, hamstring
improvement, or overall decrease body power,

you achieve your desired outcomes. When that happens, substituting hip thrusts
is advisable as a outcome of they place much less stress on the backbone and knees.
This makes them a incredible option for lifters with decrease back pain or joint points, as they permit you to train the
glutes hard and heavy without extreme compressive forces on the
backbone. This train works the glutes and hamstrings
to construct that leg-curling power you should develop to achieve success in the
glute ham elevate. Both muscle tissue are utilized fully by way of the complete vary of motion,
making it the single handiest train to train each your glutes and hamstrings.
If you finish up feeling this train a lot
within the decrease again, it’s a safe guess you’re doing it wrong.
You can alternate between the two exercises each workout
or carry out them on different days. One Other fitness center machine your tush will thanks for is the seated abduction machine.
That’s the one that strengthens your hips and glutes by using weight resistance
as you push your legs aside.
However because the muscle group crosses the knee joint, it also
contributes to knee flexion, which means it assists our hamstrings during glute ham raises (3).
Doing glute ham raises can be beneficial for on a regular basis life as a outcome of the train strengthens
essential muscle tissue, which we use for many activities.
For example, bending ahead to select one thing off the ground requires good posterior chain activation. Glute hams additionally strengthen the
lower back, offering spinal help and protecting us from accidents.
Performing the glute ham elevate can enhance your performance in other disciplines and workouts.
The glute ham raise is a compound train that targets the gluteus maximus, hamstrings, and decrease again muscle tissue.
In this article, we’ll cowl the fundamentals of the glute ham elevate, its advantages,
and supply a step-by-step information on how to carry out the train accurately.
One of the most challenging alternatives is the
Nordic curl, a body weight train that closely emphasizes the
eccentric (lengthening) section of the hamstrings.
Particularly, the exercise trains our erector spinae, which straightens the back and retains us upright.
Our latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, and trapezius additionally activate to
some degree, aiding the erectors in keeping the back straight.
The glute ham elevate is a perfect train for getting your
hamstrings all fired up. And not solely does it work your hamstrings, however your complete posterior chain! Posterior chain power is crucial, so the glute ham
elevate is a good train to incorporate in your exercise regime.
They are additionally recognized to translate properly to commonly accomplished lifts
in the fitness center. In reality, you will find the glute ham
raise in plenty of a powerlifter’s programming as a
result of means in which they’ll enhance one’s squats and deadlifts.
Usually these are supposed to be initiated from a 90° hips-flexed position by
method of an preliminary hip extension motion adopted by a knee flexion motion that
ends in a 90° knee-flexed place. Most lifters know that the hamstrings have two main roles – to extend the
hip and flex the knee. Some even know the roles of
the gluteus maximus, including hip extension, hip abduction, hip external
rotation, and posterior pelvic tilt. If you aren’t doing this movement then you’re missing out on one of the best back-saving, PR-inducing, pelvic-stabilizing exercises
on the market.
The angle of the glute ham bench or adjustable utility bench performs a major
role in figuring out the exercise’s difficulty level. Famend as one of many
favourite hamstring workouts among athletes and fitness enthusiasts,
the Glute-Ham Increase is a superb hypertrophy
exercise. The gluteus minimus could be the tiniest of the trio of butt muscular tissues,
tucked away beneath the gluteus medius on the side of your
hip. Load a barbell on the floor and wrap a pad
or towel round it to guard your ankles. (You also
can use a bench that’s secured to the ground, or the spotter bar in a power rack,
or have a partner hold your ankles down).
Define your targets and listen to your body to prevent harm whereas performing dumbbell glute workouts.
What’s unique about the glute-ham increase is that it’ll practice the hamstrings by
performing two actions; extension of the hips AND flexion of the knees.
Combine that with the fact you’re lifting the
whole weight of your physique. At the identical time, the glutes may also be involved in hip extension, but many of the activation will come from isometric contraction.
Now, you’re probably wondering how having stronger hamstrings assist along with your
bench. Nicely, let’s take a look at a cue that is used when teaching the bench press.
When you may be lying on the bench and this cue
is given, which muscles in the leg flex?

This variation offers fixed rigidity throughout the movement and can be simpler on shoulder joint health because
of the natural arc movement created by the cables.
An effective shoulder exercise goes to have workouts that use common attachments for the
cable machine and target all three heads of the deltoid
muscle tissue. I recommend including no less than two cable machine exercises
in each triceps workout. Then, add in a dumbbell train, such because the
skull-crusher, to spherical out the session. Do a complete of units for
triceps twice per week, with a minimal of 72 hours rest between classes.
Do this persistently, and you may be rewarded with a pair of muscular horseshoe-shaped triceps.
Bear In Mind to start with lighter weights to master the approach earlier than steadily growing resistance for
optimum outcomes. The press and pull are totally different motions that
have interaction distinctive muscular tissues in the physique.
The range of motion between the 2 movements in cable chest workouts can better activate the
lower or higher chest muscular tissues, relying on the movement.
In chest exercises, this will translate to more engagement of secondary muscles like the triceps and deltoids.
There are two primary precautions to consider earlier than utilizing compound chest exercises.
Firstly, it’s crucial to prioritize correct type and method
earlier than starting compound chest workouts.
Higher cable crossovers are a great option within the fitness center for precisely this function. By adjusting the peak of the
cables and positioning your self correctly, you can effectively isolate and interact
your upper chest muscles with each rep. To maximize the advantages of cable chest workouts,
proper form and approach are important.
It’s essential to keep up a easy and managed motion throughout every train, avoiding
jerky movements that may lead to harm.
I am now capable of perform exercises I would by no means have tried by myself and
continue to see each physical and psychological gains at the gym.
Many chest workouts, such as push-ups and chest dips, may also
be carried out without any tools. Cable chest
workouts are a good addition to your workout routine, but they shouldn’t exchange conventional chest workout
routines utterly. Standing cable crossover Exercise helps
to develop and define the decrease and the Inner pectoral muscles.
Yes, you can isolate particular areas such as your upper chest close to the collarbone with incline
flies and work your decrease chest near the breastbone with decline urgent actions.
For occasion, units within the range of 6-8 reps with heavy weights concentrate on power gains, whereas units of reps with average weights stimulate muscle
hypertrophy.
This isn’t simply lifting weights; this is about engaging the proper
muscle tissue and doing it successfully. It’s simple to let other muscle tissue bounce in and take over but hold
the give consideration to the shoulders. Now that you know where the
deltoid heads are, you’re going to have a much simpler
time activating and contracting them during the following
efficient workouts. The muscles on the outer a half of your shoulders, referred to
as lateral deltoids, begin from a selected point in your
shoulder blade known as the acromion course of. It’s simply as essential (more so)
to know the way the muscle fibers work as it’s to be taught effective shoulder exercises for them.
A shoulder workout with cables can even tackle
muscle imbalances and reduce the risk of shoulder damage.
Together With compound and isolation workouts in your routine is
important to maximize your positive aspects. When a sure
amount of volume stops being effective and your progress stalls, you’ll be able to add units to extend volume and use that as a
driver of renewed progress. It’s a highly efficient
movement that makes one heck of a wonderful “finisher” to focus on the under-targeted inside chest.

the beginning place. Stand in a staggered stance for stability and guarantee your core
is engaged.
Depending on what variation you use, you can goal each muscle within the chest by doing push-ups.
And while you almost certainly know tips on how to do them, here’s a fast how-to anyway.
Whereas common push-ups target the center of your pecs,
decline push-ups shift the emphasis to your decrease chest,
a troublesome region to apply strain to. Proper nutrition is an integral component of maximizing
your chest features. Consuming a balanced diet that consists of lean proteins, complex carbohydrates,
and healthy fat can improve muscle growth and
assist in restoration after intense workouts. One Other approach to progressively
overload is by changing the angle of the pulleys or using different attachments to focus on totally different elements of the chest
muscle tissue. It’s necessary to note that with a complicated routine comes a larger need
for rest and restoration.
However, gym-goers who’ve been coaching for any
length of time will know the value of the cable machine in carving out an enormous chest.
A cable crossover machine can be costly and may take
up plenty of area in your fitness center. They can additionally be more difficult to use should you’re making an attempt to isolate
smaller muscle teams. Standing cable flys assist you to
develop a lean chest, and by mixing in some low to high and high to
low variations, you’ll be able to target all the totally
different muscle teams.
This train specifically engages the pectoral muscular tissues whereas additionally activating the shoulders and triceps, making it a comprehensive upper body exercise.

out of your workouts. There are three major explanation why
you shouldn’t work out your decrease chest daily.
Firstly, you can’t work your chest every day
as a end result of your muscles need time to get well.
Guarantee proper form and management for harm prevention and maximize benefits.
Together With this exercise in a chest exercise can contribute to general chest
development and energy. Incorporating the cable standing neutral
grip fly into your exercise routine is important
for overall chest development and power. The impartial grip (palms facing each other) hones
in on the inner chest muscles, selling balanced improvement across the entire chest area.
It’s essential to prioritize type and control to make sure
maximum effectiveness whereas performing this exercise.
With Dumbbell Flys, you get a relaxation on the peak of the motion, when the weights are directly over your chest and supported by your arms
and shoulders. Cable Flys, however, don’t have
any “support point”, so your chest muscles are continually beneath tension via the
whole movement.
But as you’ll have the ability to see, even in the literature there’s lots of individual variation. If that is
the case for you, consider alternatively using
an exercise like the dumbbell bench press. It has been shown to have comparable chest activation to the barbell bench press
however much less triceps activation. The Incline banded chest press,
also known as the Low To High Chest Press, is a variation of
the usual chest press that works the higher chest
muscles.
Apart from chest urgent, these machines are wonderful for workout routines involving lunging,
squatting, and twisting, in turn bettering steadiness and coordination. Change
the body place, weight load, and attachments to hit all pecs muscular tissues from
totally different angles and motions. When doing chest
exercises using cables, you will need to do not forget that the workout routines should target both the upper and decrease portions of the chest.
If you’re in search of a approach to get extra creative with your cable chest exercise, why not strive cable Incline Fly On a Stability Ball?
Decrease chest exercises benefit health and wellness by promoting core engagement, energy training, and proper posture.
Firstly, core engagement is crucial for growing stability whereas performing physical activities.
The added stability prevents damage and encourages athletes to
work out using the right form. Secondly, decrease chest
workouts promote energy coaching, which will increase the variety
of workouts athletes can perform with out harm.
Thirdly, lower chest exercises improve posture, which ends up in a greater lung capacity,
and fewer again and shoulder pain. In addition, the fixed tension all through the range of movement supplied by cable machines,
similar to cable crossovers, presents a more significant stimulus for
overall muscle progress.
Selecting dumbbells that are suitable in your power and fitness level and steadily rising the load as you progress will maintain you from
overworking your muscular tissues or injuring your self. Guarantee that the floor used for support is stable and safe, able to withstanding the weight and motion with out slipping or shifting.
Remember to listen to your body, have interaction in proper warm-up workout routines, and modify or discontinue any train that elicits ache
or discomfort. Performing chest dips requires you to assist your body weight with straight arms,
then decrease your physique by bending your
elbows and pushing back up.
In cable chest workout routines, you’ll be able to easily modify the weight by including plates or altering the attachments
used. Goal for a rep vary of 8-12, and as soon as you’ll
be able to carry out that comfortably with proper type, increase the
weight by 5-10%. The low cable fly is a superb variation of
the normal cable fly that targets the upper chest with a downward and inward movement.
