This is the first program of a series designed to follow the Moms in Motion: Postpartum Return to Movement 6 week program. This program is intended to be completed once you've received clearance from your physician to return to exercise, whether that's at 6 weeks or later. It gradually increases in volume and intensity week to week. Rebuild total body strength postpartum while reconnecting to you core and pelvic floor. The program helps the postpartum individual return to foundational movement patterns and can be completed in a gym at at home with minimal equipment. With a new baby in the picture, making time for exercise can be a challenge. This program is designed to be efficient and effective with sessions only taking 30-45 minutes max. "Bounce back" culture is a thing of the past. Step into motherhood with confidence and strength.
