I highly recommend taking the Core & Pelvic Floor Foundations program to ensure you have reconnected with your core and pelvic floor prior to resuming any workouts.

First off! Congratulations on completing the Core & Pelvic Floor Foundations program. I hope you feel stronger and more connected with your body. I recommend Full Body Power & Strength to increase the intensity of your workouts and build strength postpartum.

Yes, it is generally safe and beneficial to engage in exercise during pregnancy. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure that the chosen exercises are appropriate for individual circumstances and to receive clearance for any specific medical considerations.

Low-impact activities such as walking, swimming, prenatal yoga, and modified strength training can be excellent choices for maintaining fitness during pregnancy. These exercises can help strengthen muscles, support good posture, and prepare the body for labor and delivery.

In most cases, women can start exercising again within the first few weeks after delivery, once they have received the green light from their healthcare provider. It's crucial to prioritize rest and recovery in the immediate postpartum period before gradually reintroducing physical activity.

Postpartum exercises often focus on rebuilding core strength, enhancing pelvic floor function, and improving overall muscular endurance. Pilates, gentle cardio, and bodyweight exercises tailored for postpartum bodies can be effective in supporting recovery and restoring fitness levels.

Diastasis recti, the separation of the abdominal muscles, is a common postpartum concern. Targeted exercises, such as specific core and pelvic floor movements, as well as techniques to improve posture and body mechanics, can help in addressing and healing diastasis recti over time.

Finding support, planning efficient workouts, and prioritizing self-care are essential for integrating fitness into the busy life of a new mother. Incorporating baby-friendly workouts, seeking childcare help when possible, and adjusting expectations to accommodate the fluctuating demands of parenthood can all contribute to a sustainable fitness routine.
