Your First Postpartum Strength Workout: ...

Nicole Scheitlin
About this episode

Wondering what to do in your postpartum strength workouts? When you’re just getting back into things you might feel a little foreign in your body and have questions about what you “should” be doing or what’s safe for you as you continue to heal. This is very normal which is why I’m walking you through my framework for an effective postpartum strength workout that helps you begin to build muscle again, fix dysfunctional movement patterns from pregnancy changes, and ultimately heal and strengthen your core and pelvic floor again. 


[You're Invited] Join me in my FREE Back to Strength Workshop and Workout happening on September 4th!
