How do I exercise my ‘mom’ bod?
Running? Yoga? CrossFit? What’s the best way to get back into shape after having kids..??
I know there’s some confusion about what do to for exercise once you’re a mom.. and in this video I talk about the trajectory from pre-baby to post and THE most important things to consider to get your hot bod and strength back asap – no matter how long it’s been since you had your babies!
It’s not as easy as ‘stop doing crunches and planks’ and I want to give you the real information you need to make an informed decision so that you can get back to doing the things that make your heart happy, momma.
(Without peeing your pants, dying of low back pain, feeling 90 years old when you get out of bed, or chronic ‘mummy tummy’ or a ‘pancake ass’ no matter how much you SWEAT!)
Postnatal Programming
you are recently postpartum or still feel the effects of pregnancy/birth:
- consistant low back pain
- “split abs” – diastasis recti (click HERE to test)
- tenting or doming of your abs
- incontinence – “whoops” pee moments
- “mummy tummy”
- pelvic pain/pubic symphysis diastasis
- C-section ‘scar’ area numbness
Beginner Programming
You are over 12 weeks postpartum and confident that your core is activating properly, you do not experience the issues listed above in the Postnatal Programming and:
- you want to lean out and tone your muscles
- you don’t have hours to spend doing cardio
- you want to develop your lean muscle to increase your metabolism and decrease risk of osteoporosis
- you want to keep your muscles, bones, and tissues challenged to stimulate collagen and keep from ‘aging’
Intermediate/Advanced Programming
We all want to be able to step it up, but let’s make sure we’re ready! Choose more advanced programming if:
- you have completed corrective exericse programming and are able to activate your core and glutes through all movements – exercise or daily movements
- you have experience working out or were/are an athlete
- your nutrition knowledge and skills are an organic part of your daily routines
- you are not too stressed out in your everyday life that adding more intense programming (stressful to your body) may cause you to go backwards instead of keep progressing
Education is in Our Blood
Training for a marathon is a major event, right? We train about 300 hours just to say we’ve run one! (And that’s when you’re advanced!)
Having a child is a major MAJOR event – and most moms’ only training is reading books or taking a prenatal class.. so about 20 hours. Let’s reclaim some power here mommas!
Our Instructors
Coach Krista and Coach Tracey have extensive experience and both bring really unique skills to the table:
