Week 9, mamas. Remember Day 44, when nearly all of you found one hip that drops? Today we fix it directly.

✨ TODAY'S MISSION
✓💨 10 slow 360° Breaths
✓🪜 8 Standing Hip Hitches (each side) — NEW
✓🍑 12 Clamshells with 3-second hold (each side)
✓🧺 3 × 30 steps Loaded Carry (each side)

✓🍑 8 Glute Bridges + 2 Single-Leg — 7-second hold
✓🚶‍♀️ Walk — 9,000 steps

🪜 THE STANDING HIP HITCH

Stand side-on at the bottom stair, or on a thick book.

Put your right foot on the step. Your left leg hangs free beside it, off the edge, not touching the floor.

Hold the wall or banister lightly for balance.

Let the left hip drop — your left foot sinks toward the floor. That's your start position.

Exhale and hitch the left hip up — pull it toward your ribs so the foot rises. Your right leg stays straight throughout.

Inhale and lower back down.

8 reps, then swap sides.

🔑 THE BIT EVERYONE GETS BACKWARDS

The hanging leg does nothing. It just hangs there like a pendulum.

All the work is in your standing glute — the leg on the step. That's the one holding your pelvis.

So when you're doing the left hip, you're actually strengthening your right hip. Mamas get this backwards constantly, so remember: you stand on the side you're training. 💛

1️⃣ Stay tall. No leaning sideways to help.


2️⃣ Standing leg stays straight. Don't bend the knee to cheat height.
3️⃣ Small range. An inch or two each way is plenty

🌟 MINI CHALLENGE — CATCH YOURSELF QUEUING

Standing at the counter, waiting in a queue, holding your baby — notice which hip you sink into. That's the same drop, happening all day without a step involved. Reply with which hip you sink into. 💛

📌 TODAY'S FOCUS

Fifty-seven days, mamas.

On Day 44 you found a hip that drops. On Day 52 you found a muscle you'd never felt. Today you train the two of them together, standing on one leg.

And here's why it matters for your gap: a pelvis that tips pulls unevenly on your midline. It's why one side of a gap sometimes closes faster than the other — and why some mamas do everything right and still feel lopsided.

Level the pelvis and the pull evens out. All day, not just for your eight reps.
