❤️You are allowed to get overwhelmed.
❤️You are allowed to prioritize other things over your workouts. (Seriously!)
During that first year of postpartum, your training plan needs to be flexible. It’s easy to say that you should prioritize your self care, but that’s a lot harder to do when you’re also taking care of a new baby.
You can give yourself care while also giving yourself grace. So what does that actually look like on a really hard week?
👉🏼Monday or Tuesday:
Doing a set of lunges while you wait for your coffee or tea to brew, then doing a set of pushups off the bathroom counter after brushing your teeth. It’s not a full workout, but you moved your body with intention, so that’s a win.
👉🏼Wednesday or Thursday:
Taking the baby out for a walk. It’s not strength training, but fresh air + steady movement = major victory for your body AND mind.
👉🏼Friday, Saturday or Sunday: Doing a set of side lying clamshells and side plank lift offs during your kiddo’s tummy time, then throwing in a few connection breaths while baby falls asleep in your arms.
It’s not much, but when life is overwhelming and exercise feels impossible, those teeny steps will move the needle forward. Small wins on your hardest days are major victories.
🙌🏼If you need help figuring out those first small steps, comment or DM me the word “GUIDE” and I’ll send over my free Postpartum Fitness Guide to help you set up a flexible-but-doable postpartum exercise routine.
You don’t have to do it alone!☺️
