Ep. 14: Postpartum recovery workouts — how to progress and get back to doing what you love

Getting back to doing what you love for exercise postpartum is a PROCESS. You are not simply going to wake up one day and feel like, “hey, I’ve been laying in bed for X weeks with a newborn, but now I feel ready to go for a jog!” 

When I talk about postpartum recovery and workouts, I mean: healing your pelvic floor and re-training your abs to help support you through day-to-day movement (not lifting heavy or hopping on your Peloton). Recovery is a spectrum of: 

  • Re-connecting and re-learning muscular engagement in order to…
  • Start gentle movement and stretching in order to…
  • Begin mindfully strength-training in order to…
  • Return to the impact and full-intensity training you love

In this episode I’ll break down the exact process I lead my clients through to get back to doing what they love AND feeling good while doing it.

In this episode I reference Ep. 10 with Dr. Victoria Sekely: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1391509/episodes/6734395
