Strength training postpartum while still breastfeeding and on a schedule has looked much different!

Sometimes I only get 30-45 minutes to workout!

Strength circuits have been helpful to at least hit 3 solid movements.

Try this circuit: 3-4 rounds with 1-2 minutes between sets
➡️ Front squats (tempo) x 10
➡️ Split squats x 10/side
➡️ Push-ups x 10

I am trying to get more reps lately and get back into heavier with less reps (5-8)

The point is, if you have only a short time, get after it with good functional exercises so you can still get strength in! 💪🏻

Katie grew up in Sterling, Colorado, before moving to Hays, Kansas, to attend Fort Hays State University, where she earned her Bachelor of Science degree. She then relocated to the East Coast to pursue her Doctor of Physical Therapy at Boston University.

Katie is passionate about helping people recover from injury through hands-on manual therapy, individualized exercise programs, and education that empowers patients to manage their health independently. She enjoys treating a wide variety of orthopedic conditions, with special interests in the hip, knee, spine, and TMJ.

Outside the clinic, Katie enjoys spending time with family and friends, baking, paddleboarding, and crafting. Within the clinic, she hopes to create a space of trust where we can work together as a team to achieve your goals.

Building back QUAD strength after knee surgery is CRUCIAL!

Especially for return to run programming! Running is all single leg loading.

☑️ Single leg strength has to be a part of rehab
☑️ Working on landing mechanics and absorbing the load/controlling quads into knee flexion is also crucial ☑️ It’s easy to want to protect the surgical knee, so doing assisted movements and controlled tempo movements to feel more confident will help the patient with their confidence

➡️ 3 moves above:
1. Cyclist squats
2. Pogo jumps (knee dominant instead of ankle to focus on quad strength and absorbing knee load)
3. 1 leg sit to stands (single leg quad strength)

▫️If you need help returning to running and/or sport #, let us help you!! We LOVE and SPECIALIZE in keeping active people active!!
