It’s truly incredible what the female body experiences during child birth! With that said, be kind to your body, and all that it has gone through. Your figure may have changed, you may not feel yourself, and some days you may be too tired to do much … but just know you’re not alone!
Adjusting to life after having a baby is a big transition, and finding time for yourself may be difficult, or somedays feel next to impossible. But finding the time to take care of yourself is important, so that you can continue to show up and be the amazing Mom that you are!
Strength Training Postpartum
If you want to feel better both physically and mentally, strength training can be incredibly beneficial for postpartum recovery. Building strength can help you regain a sense of control over your body. After giving birth, your posture can change from how you carried the baby and potential weight gain. Strength training focuses on core stability, which can help improve your posture and alleviate back pain.
Strength training also helps to rebuild muscle tone and strength that may have been lost during pregnancy. It supports your body in recovering from the physical demands of childbirth. Additionally, strength training can boost your energy levels and help you get through day to day activities after those sleepless nights.
