Starting a postpartum exercise routine can often feel confusing, overwhelming, and at times near impossible. My question to you is: why does beginning a postpartum fitness journey have to feel this way? Let’s talk about five ways you can make your experience more enjoyable, sustainable, and successful.
It’s time to break the glass ceiling on the limitations and expectations we set for ourselves, especially when it comes to our health and happiness. You can absolutely set goals and number marks, but please do not fixate on them. Living healthy is a lifestyle; a state of mind. It is not a destination to be reached, but a journey to be traveled. And if we keep waiting for “when” we get there, we miss all the happy, emotional, difficult, and rewarding times in between.
Sticking to the same exercise plan without being mindful of these fluctuations can sometimes be counterproductive. So… how can we harness our hormones to work with us rather than against us? Research shows that creating an exercise program that changes according to your 28-day cycle may optimize efforts and yield greater results with your health and fitness, especially if you have a hormonal imbalance.
