Postnatal Workouts

Postnatal Workouts

If you’ve had a baby within the last 9 months or are currently breastfeeding, a postnatal-specific workout is so important! The hormones in your body make the tissues more lax, even after the relaxin leaves your system (sometimes several months later). Postnatal workouts will ensure you don’t push yourself into injury. We’ll start small, allowing your postpartum body time to recover. We use progressive workouts that advance as your body builds core stability and strength.

If you had a C-section, follow the modifications on the calendar. Our Postnatal Intermediate/Advanced Calendar is for women that maintained an exercise routine through pregnancy. Use the Beginner Calendar if you did not exercise through pregnancy.
