#PostpartumProgress highlights the journey of recovery after childbirth, celebrating body positivity, mental health, self-love, resilience, community support, shared experiences, encouragement, personal growth, empowerment, and embracing motherhood's challenges and transformations.
The VERY FIRST thing you want to do postpartum is work to activate & strengthen your pelvic floor. “But don’t all core movements strengthen the pelvic floor?” NO!! 🫢  In order to be effectively working your deep core + pelvic floor muscles, you need to understand how to: Perform 360-degree breathing. Inhale through your nose while expanding you ribcage 360-degrees. Exhale through pursed lips which will draw your naval towards your spine.  The next step is bring your pelvic floor into the picture. As you inhale with a 360-degree breath, lengthen or relax your pelvic floor. As you exhale, contract your pelvic floor (draw all 4 pelvic floor points together & upward).  The last step is incorporating this into movement. Inhale on the easier portion of the movement (typically lowering) and exhale on the harder portion of the movement (typically standing up from a squat or flexing).  Once you can do those 3 steps all together, THEN you are truly working to strengthen your deep core & pelvic floor!  #fitnessjourney #fitnessreels #postpartumcore #postpartumprogress
Was not preparing my body for both birth AND postpartum.  Birth Prep:  —learning how to strengthen AND lengthen my pelvic floor. The first time around I did plenty of workouts (literally until the day I gave birth), BUT I was lacking in one major component - pelvic floor lengthening. Your pelvic floor muscles need to know how to lengthen to help guide the baby out during birth. This can help decrease tearing & expedite the delivery process.  Postpartum:  —getting into a solid routine of movement. I do just 30 minutes a day, 4 days a week & stuck with this routine throughout my entire pregnancy. So once I was cleared to exercise postpartum, I already felt like my workouts were habitual. #postpartumcore #postpartumprogress #postpartumbody #postpartumtransformation #postpartumjourney #mombod #workoutmotivation #fitnessinspo #fitnessmotivation
The 3 things I recommend every person do while pregnant: Pelvic floor lengthening & mobility: this is something you can start early on in pregnancy, but is especially important starting at about 34 weeks. Your pelvic floor muscles must know how to lengthen to help guide the baby out during child birth. This will help decrease tearing & may expedite the delivery process!  Moderate strength training: I trained from home & with just dumbbells throughout my entire pregnancy (literally until the day I gave birth). Did I have to slow down towards the end? Definitely. But I showed up, continued to build strength, & prepared my body for the toughest event of my life - birth!  Deep core: this goes hand in hand with 360-degree breathing (something I teach in my pregnancy fitness program on the @buildandburnco app). You can join the program during any week of your pregnancy & you just pay for what you use!  #fitnessreels #postpartumcore #postpartumprogress #workoutsforwomen #pregnant
Here’s everything I did to set my body up for a fast delivery 👇🏽 ✨I got intentional about my pelvic floor lengthening around 35 weeks. Your pelvic floor muscles must know how to lengthen to help guide the baby out during child birth. This will help decrease tearing & may expedite the delivery process! ✨learned how to maintain neutral alignment (stack ears-neck-shoulders-hips in one line) both in & out of the gym ✨practiced how to properly breath with 360-degree breathing (this is taught in the @buildandburnco Pregnancy Program!) ✨continued my strength training program until 40 weeks. Deep squats & cardio are especially helpful! ✨daily walks - a good habit to get into and continue once you give birth  Any q’s? Shoot me a DM & I’m happy to help!  . #postpartumcore #postpartumprogress #postpartumbody #postpartumtransformation #postpartumjourney #mombod #workoutmotivation #fitnessinspo #fitnessmotivation
And the absolute craziest thing is I did it all at home… with just dumbbells… and in only 30-minutes a day 🤌🏽 combine that with a high protein diet & some moderate consistency and I PROMISE you will see results.  I started with my 10-week Postpartum Program to rehab my deep core & ease me back into a routine. Then I transitioned to the @buildandburnco weekly workouts at 16 weeks postpartum which I’m continuing to do now.  These programs work because they’re sustainable in the long run - no quick fixes or restrictions around here 🙅🏻‍♀️ Anyone can make time for 30-minutes just a few days a week.  #postpartumcore #postpartumprogress #postpartumbody #postpartumtransformation #postpartumjourney #mombod #workoutmotivation #fitnessinspo #fitnessmotivation
