In this video, you’ll learn some of the best exercises after birth to help you restore strength to your core and pelvic floor muscles. 

Exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Many women continue to exercise while they’re pregnant. It’s equally as important to do exercises after birth to help strengthen your abdominal muscles and pelvic floor which have been severely weakened.

Please make sure you’ve been cleared by a medical professional to resume exercise and allow yourself the necessary time to heal and recover. That’s important too!

If you’re a mama who gave birth years ago, this class is also for you. 

 A regular exercise program helps you tone your muscles and reverse the effects of diastasis recti, or the separation of the rectus muscles of the abdominal wall. 

Not only does exercise help to rebuild and strengthen the muscles in your body, but it also helps to improve your posture, enhance your balance, and reduce the risk of injury.

When you have a baby, your body and your life change in ways you never imagined. You’re sleep deprived, and stretched to the limit physically, mentally, and emotionally. It’s a beautiful thing, but also a demanding one. You feel like you hardly have time to eat, let alone exercise.

That’s why I make sure to create workout routines that you can fit into your busy schedule. Most of my workouts are between 10-15 minutes which means you can get it done. 

Postpartum exercise is specifically designed to help you get back into shape and feel strong and confident again, without worrying about damaging your muscles or over-stressing your pelvic floor.

It also focuses on exercises that specifically target your stomach muscles, which are critical for supporting your spine and keeping your abdominal wall toned and firm. 

This class will teach you the basics of postpartum core exercises, including the best exercises for diastasis recti and weak pelvic floor muscles.

Many women suffer from postpartum diastasis recti, or the separation of your abdominal muscles. In fact over 60% of women who have been pregnant have some form of separation. 

Instead of focusing on heavy weights and long runs, it’s important to focus on improving your core and pelvic floor muscles with postpartum specific exercises. This will help to rebuild and strengthen your muscles, which will give you the support and stability you need to get back into shape so you can resume your favorite activities.

Most importantly, avoiding sit-ups and planks will help to avoid stressing your abdominal muscles, which will reduce the risk of postpartum injury and further diastasis recti. 

Instead of traditional abdominal exercises, this focuses on alternatives which not only offers you variety and keeps it interesting but strengthens your muscles in a safe and effective way.

I have an eight week postpartum exercise course  which offers a full program with instructional videos and a step-by-step guide to help you build strong, healthy muscles and reverse the effects of diastasis recti and weak pelvic floor muscles.

These words from one of the women who went through the program really highlights the importance of postpartum specific exercise. 

“My first thought when I looked down at my stomach in the following months after birth was, this is going to take a lot of work to reach my goals, I don’t even know where to start! I had no idea how much my body was going to change after having a baby.

I also had no idea how much my life was going to change. I’m a mom now, and I’m so excited to get back to enjoying my workouts, but I also wanted to make sure I was doing it safely and using my time most effectively.

The Pelvic Mama Program eased all of my concerns and helped me so much. I learnt the best exercises after birth to help with my diastasis recti and weak pelvic floor”.
