Postpartum Exercise/Running
Getting back to working out or running after having kids can be exciting for some, and daunting for others. Either way- it’s important to make sure your body has a solid foundation!
Return to exercising postpartum without pain, pelvic pressure, or leaking!
Learn about your strengths and weaknesses so you progress your routines while optimizing your body and pelvic floor.
Once postpartum, always postpartum!
Find out what you need to work on and get back to working out. Being 6 weeks postpartum isn’t a green light to go hard or go home. There is no magic green light. It takes knowledge and a good foundation.
We like to start giving moms the foundation they need during pregnancy. If that can’t happen, we like to start as soon as early as 2 weeks postpartum. And if that can’t happen, we like to start whenever someone calls us for help, even YEARS later! Because it’s never too early, and it’s never too late to start.
