Postpartum Rebuild

When it comes to returning to exercise postpartum, our society largely does mamas a disservice by not prioritizing postnatal education and care.

We are made to believe that 6 weeks is a magic number after which we are "good to go" with all things movement - but those 6 weeks are based largely on healing timelines -- not for preparing the body for the demands of mom life & the gym!

Not to mention, there are many changes in those first 6 weeks that can be hard on the body, and *having gentle tools to reintroduce movement safely can be invaluable. *

Postpartum Rebuild is an 18-week, 3-phase, progressive program designed to educate and empower you in your postpartum journey.

From Reconnection, Reconstruction, to Resilience, this program can help bridge your gap back to exercise.

FAQs
How is PPR different than other programs?
Postpartum Rebuild is designed in three phases: Reconnect is designed for early postpartum, with variable structure to suit your needs. Reconstruct includes foundational strength work and reintroduction of heavier loads. Resilience guides return to impact to prepare you to take on other programs!
Does this program include core work?
Yes!! Core is intermixed throughout the program, with a strategic emphasis on breath, core, and mobility reconnection in phase 1.
Will this program heal my Diastasis Recti?
Healing DR takes TIME as well as work restoring connection, coordination, and durability of your breath and core. The exercises in this program can facilitate this, but we always recommend working with a provider 1:1 to address YOUR specific needs!
What if I was told I have prolapse? Can I still do this program?
Prolapse is something that can be managed, so yes! We recommend also working with a pelvic health physiotherapist to address your unique needs and weaknesses.
I won't have much time to workout. Will this program be too much?
We've designed this program to be lower volume so that it's manageable during this unique time! The first 6 weeks in particular is extremely modifiable for your needs, but of course reach out in the chat so your coaches can help you problem-solve for your specific scenario!
How do I know if I'm ready to progress?
We have an educational video dedicated to this as well as reminders on each workout! If you ever have questions, ask your coaches in the team chat!
I had a C-section. Can I still do this program?
Yes! We recommend checking with your provider on their specific restrictions/recommendations, as the healing time for a C section is different than a vaginal birth.
What does a workout look like?
In phase 1, workouts are minimally structured and can be done as much or as little as you want/need. In phases 2 and 3, workouts consist of general prep work, compound strength work, core work, multi-planar movements, and eventually, plyometrics!
Meghan is a physio. Is PPR the same as working with a physiotherapist?
It is NOT! Only working 1:1 with a physiotherapist in your region is physical therapy. This is a Strength and Conditioning Program and the information provided is for educational purposes only. We recommend you consult with your physician before starting any exercise program, including this one!
