Are you ready to start exercising after giving birth?

The research is in:

Light exercise is now being encouraged WITHIN the first 8 weeks postpartum for better pelvic floor, mental health and healing outcomes. Of course, the important thing is to ease in gently while making space for rest as well.

Here are 3 questions to ask yourself before starting a postnatal fitness routine:

Have your incisions healed?

Any surgical incisions should be sufficiently healed and not causing pain. This may mean waiting until your post-op checkup for confirmation.

Are you still experiencing postnatal bleeding?

Bleeding isn't necessarily a red flag (no pun intended). What's most important is that lochia or postnatal bleeding doesn't increase with exercise.

Are you craving movement?

This is the key! Are you starting to feel antsy or restless? This could be a sign that you're ready to start exercising beyond walks and pelvic floor exercises! Start tuning into your mind and body to see if you're ready for some intentional movement.

Postnatal exercise is associated with pelvic floor healing and reduced pregnancy-related postpartum aches and pains, PLUS it helps with deeper and better quality sleep (which you’re gonna need with a new baby around)!

If you’re ready to get started, I’ve just launched my brand new online postnatal exercise program:🎉 the Postnatal Fitness Blueprint. 🎉

It’s a step by step plan that will guide you from postpartum recovery to full body strength, using my tried and tested training methods I’ve been using with postnatal clients for over 8 years!

For just $197, you’ll get access for 12 months (so you can go at your own pace), plus if you reach out to me on instagram, I’ll send you a discount code to get $50 off for the month of May to celebrate the launch!
