GYM VERSION
Just because you have had a baby does not mean you have to settle for peeing your pants, or a basic strength program. You've focused on your rehab, built a foundation and now it's time to make real progress with your training.
This program is for you if:
You are between 12+ months postpartum, OR ready for a more advanced strength program, are female, TTC. You are comfortable following a program yourself in the gym or at home, have no lingering symptoms and understand that this is NOT a rehab program.
