What is a Superset?

A superset is when you pair two exercises back-to-back with little to no rest in between, then rest after completing both. Instead of doing all of Exercise A, resting, then all of Exercise B, you alternate between them.

Why This Matters for Your Home Program

  • Cuts your total workout time significantly, without cutting out exercises

  • Keeps you moving, which can help with motivation and consistency

  • Works especially well when exercises target different muscle groups or regions, since one area can rest while the other works

  • Fits into a busy schedule, whether you're managing pregnancy fatigue, postpartum recovery, or simply a full plate

How to Superset Your Exercises

  1. Pick two exercises from your program that create fatigue in different areas of your body.

  2. Complete one full set of the first exercise.

  3. Move right into one full set of the second exercise.

  4. Rest briefly, then repeat the pair for your next set.

  5. Continue until all sets of both exercises are complete.

Example
Superset A: Diaphragmatic breathing with coregeous ball
Superset B: Glute bridges

Here, the breathing work is low-intensity and restorative, so it doubles as active recovery between sets of a more demanding exercise. This lets you keep your core and pelvic floor connection dialed in without adding time to your session.

A Few Notes

  • Not every exercise pair should be supersetted.

  • If you feel breathless, dizzy, or notice increased pelvic pressure or leaking, slow down or return to doing exercises one at a time.

  • Form always comes first. If quality drops when you speed up, go back to single-exercise sets.
