The Importance of Exercise for Moms

As a mom, it can be easy to put your own needs and well-being on the back-burner. However, prioritizing exercise is not only beneficial for your physical health but also for your mental and emotional well-being.

Regular exercise has been shown to reduce stress, improve mood, increase energy levels, and enhance overall quality of life.

As a mom, having the physical strength and stamina to keep up with your little ones is essential. Exercise can also help you maintain a healthy weight, improve cardiovascular health, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

Benefits of “Getting to the Core of Postpartum Fitness” for Moms

This 8-week program for moms offers unique exercises that you may not have done before and benefits that go beyond just physical fitness. Designed to address postpartum issues that can linger for years at times, we address habit change that can alleviate stress, contribute to better sleep, improve your sex life and build lasting strength.

When you reconnect with your body through the program and develop a positive body image, these changes can even reflect in our kids in a beneficial way. They are always watching us and picking up on what we do and how we feel about ourselves.

As a mom, it's common to experience changes in your body post-pregnancy. Working out and regaining control of your body can help you embrace and appreciate your body for its strength and capabilities, rather than focusing on perceived imperfections.

Preparing for an Empowering Workout

Before starting any workout, it's important to prepare your body and mind for the physical exertion ahead. Here are some tips to help you get ready for an empowering workout:

1. Hydrate: Drink water before, during, and after your workout to stay properly hydrated. Dehydration can lead to decreased performance and increased fatigue.

2. Warm-up: Spend 5-10 minutes warming up your muscles with stretches or light cardio exercises. This will help increase blood flow and prepare your body for the workout.

3. Choose the Right Clothing: Wear comfortable and breathable clothing that allows for a full range of motion. A supportive sports bra is essential for moms, especially for high-impact workouts, just ensure that it has enough elasticity that you can breathe fully!

4. Set Realistic Goals: Before starting your workout, set realistic and achievable goals. This will help you stay motivated and focused throughout the session.

Remember to listen to your body and modify exercises as needed. It's important to prioritize safety and avoid pushing yourself too hard, especially if you're new to exercise or recovering from childbirth.

For postpartum moms, exercise can play a crucial role in recovery and overall well-being. However, it's important to approach postpartum exercise with caution and consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new workout routine.

When beginning, particularly if you are newly postpartum, give yourself some grace and set realistic goals regarding time of workout, intensity and muscles worked.

If you are experiencing a “doming or tenting” through your abdomen, this may be a sign of diastasis recti. Most pregnancies will result with a diastasis at some point, this is normal as it is the body making room for the baby in the mama’s body. Often times these separations will close on their own, however, that is not always the case. This does not mean that you cannot workout! You are likely able to still participate in just about any exercise, however, the way that you engage your muscles prior to performing the exercise needs to be addressed. Seek out a physical therapist or specially trained personal trainer if you are having this experience and require diastasis safe exercises.

Another consideration for exercise in the postpartum is for prolapse. This is when one or several of the internal organs in the pelvis have dropped to some degree, outside of their normal positioning. If you are experiencing pelvic pain or pressure against your pelvic floor, particularly when you exert yourself, again seek out a physical therapist or specially trained personal trainer before starting an exercise program. Having a prolapse will also not stop you from working out but again, there are considerations that need to be addressed prior to starting exercise.

All personal training through Mom Home Fitness and the exercise program in “Getting to the Core of Postpartum Fitness” address both of these considerations; diastasis recti and prolapse. All of the exercise videos either have modifications or are pelvic floor safe exercises, and offer guidance for healing a diastasis recti or ab separation.

Always listen to your body and modify exercises as needed. If you experience any pain, discomfort, or excessive fatigue during exercise, it's important to stop and seek guidance from a healthcare professional.
