Here we go again…
6 weeks postpartum
What have I been doing already?
- Walking capacity is back to normal pace for 5km both with pram and with carrier
- stretching and mobility
- postural awareness, cat/cows and pelvic tucks, scapula setting, thread the needle, chin tucks
- body weight lower body, pelvic floor activation/relaxation, glute bridge, sit to stand and mini squats, calf raises, hip abduction, hip flexion, hip extension
I’ve started light and worked my way up, listening to my body. I also have a 25kg dog and still lift into the car boot, a 17kg son I carry up/down the stairs and I always ensure pelvic floor as well as use proper lifting techniques. This would be very different if I had of had a C-section, recovery would look quite different.
Follow me on my next 6 week program, introducing Pilates and light weights again 💪, introducing a return to running program 🏃♀️ and hopefully a ride or a swim again 🚲 🏊
💪🏼❤️
