Postpartum training works best when itโs built, not rushed. ๐
We had a conversation today in the Optimum Postpartum Group sessions about how it can feel odd going to the gym and not coming out sweating like you would have done. We start to question:
Am I not working hard enough?
Was I doing something wrong?
Should I be adding more?
This led to a discussion about why we follow the approach we are taking for our recovery and return to exercise after having a baby.
The goal is to re-establish foundations first:
โข body awareness and movement quality
โข breathing, core, and pelvic floor coordination
โข tolerance to load and volume
From there, we layer in light external load and progressively increase intensity. (Little did they know that today the program would be stepping up the intensity ๐ฆ)
๐ถ๐ผYour controllable and uncontrollable factors are different now โ sleep, time, energy, recovery. Training should reflect that.
You are not weak or behind. You are being smart!
This doesnโt mean forever. ๐
It means for now, so you can move forward stronger and possibly even better than before!
