Postnatal Workouts
These postnatal workouts are designed for weeks 4 -12 of the 4th Trimester. Start with the "Core Rehab" workouts to establish a core connection and build a strong foundation. Slowly progress to the postnatal strength workouts and eventually the postnatal low impact cardio workouts. Keep an eye out for any signs of intolerance, including: coning/doming of the abdominals, pelvic pain or pressure, incontinence or discomfort of any kind. If any of these signs of intolerance are present, you will need to modify the movement. In addition to these workouts, I strongly suggest working with a pelvic floor physical therapist.
