Safe return to exercise postpartum, Tip 7! Alignment, Posture and Core Stability. This is such an important aspect to safely returning to exercise after pregnancy. Firstly, start with regaining alignment - During the 9 months of pregnancy our body adapts to literally fit and grow a human in our abdomen. Cue - anterior tilt of the pelvis, tight hips, forward rounded shoulders. and then if we think about after birth we then have a lot of repeativity movements that continue to alter our posture and alignment. i.e. feeding a baby, burping a baby, rocking a baby, pushing a pram, wearing a carrier etc etc. Hence it is so important to focus on correcting imbalances, regaining core stability and being aware of how we can move better with these everyday tasks. This not only will allow us to regain strength more effectively, keep us injury free but also make everyday mum tasks a heck of a lot easier. Because let's face it, motherhood is a marathon not a sprint. If you're unsure where to even start but know that this is so important then please reach out to us. Find a trained Active Mums trainer near you. Better yet, purchase our Post Delivery Wellness Guide while you're still pregnant so that you can kick start this journey as soon as baby is born. # postnatal fitness

Safe Return to Postpartum exercise - Tip #6: Progressive Overload. "🀰 Embracing the Journey Back to Fitness Post-Pregnancy! πŸ‹οΈβ€β™€οΈπŸ’ͺ They say it takes a village to raise a child, and it takes mindful progress to rebuild after pregnancy. 🌟 Let's talk about the MVP of this journey: Progressive Overload.

Starting slow and steady isn't just a choice; it's a necessity. Just like we nurtured our little one's growth, we're nurturing our bodies back to strength. πŸ’• Building stability is our rock-solid foundation – a must before we chase those PRs.

Strength endurance comes next – a marathon, not a sprint. It's about honoring the miraculous process our bodies underwent and giving them the time they deserve to regain their power. Every rep, every movement, it's a step towards reclaiming our vitality.

And let's not forget our ABCs of safe exercise postpartum – Alignment, Breathing, and Core. πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ Rebuilding alignment in our body and during our movements to protect our bodies, focusing on technique a common fault I often see in the postpartum stage is the flaring at the ribs. Hot tip bring ribs over hips. Next, Breathing, exhaling during exertion, helps manage abdominal pressure and look after your pelvic floor. And ah, the Core – our anchor, our powerhouse – reconnecting to our core canister, protecting and supporting us.

So here's to all the incredible mamas out there, taking it one rep at a time, one day at a time. πŸŒΈπŸ’– Remember, it's not just about bouncing back; it's about blooming forward with patience and persistence. Let's build that strength, stability, and endurance, celebrating every milestone along the way. If you are due to have your baby soon don't forget about of Post Delivery Wellness Guide taking your gentle through the 0 - 6 weeks after birth with professional guidance.

Safe return to exercise postpartum. Day Five tip: Learn to listen to your body and understand when you need to regress or progress exercises to suit where you're currently at.

In our postnatal programs this is a massive topic we cover to help clients understand how to be proactive for their own wellbeing. We teach how to indentify if an exercise is right for them, how they know when they can do more or when they need to modify the exercises. Because we want them to be able to train safely with out us outside of our in person sessions and continue to train for the long term.

One of the big take aways is to remember your mind is ready to Go Go Go! but often your body is not!

Postpartum is not the time to dive straight in or go straight back to what we were doing prior to pregnancy.

Any exercise professional will agree that the fundamentals of exercise training are key and to not over complicate things. The basics work. So remember start slow, do not push through pain, tune into signals your body is telling you that an exercise isn't right for you. You can still have a solid workout session doing this right.

If you would like to gain the knowledge on how to know what to do and how much you can do then purchase our Post Delivery Wellness Guide from our website. This covers all the education around this to keep you safe and on track.

Safe return to exercise postpartum Tip #4 Build Core Stability & Strength.

After 9 months of pregnancy it's important that we spend time carefully reconnecting, retraining and rebuilding our core. And first things first - forget what you know as your tradiditonal "core" exercises. Here we are focusing on the deep core muscles which starting off this may feel very subtle or even like "I'm doing nothing" This is because we think we must do 100x crunches to train our core and feel the "burn".

The reality is we want to reconnect to our CORE first. Last post we spoke about one element of this - the pelvic floor. the other areas we must think about are the TVA (Transverse abdominis). Next your Diaphragm. So literally getting you to connect to your breathe. and finally Multifidus. These four make up your CORE. So where to start.

we start with a connection breathe which links all of these together and this exercise can be done in the early weeks after birth. We then work to slowly progress to retaining and rebuild.

🩸 Have you noticed your menstrual cycle impacting your prolapse symptoms? Maybe you’ve been wondering why all of a sudden you’re feeling more heaviness in your pelvic floor that wasn’t there a few weeks ago.
Did you know your hormonal changes during your menstrual cycle can indeed influence prolapse symptoms.

Let’s look a little deeper at what’s going on here. The fluctuation in hormone levels, particularly estrogen and progesterone, can affect the strength and elasticity of the pelvic tissues and muscles. During the menstrual cycle, estrogen levels rise, peaking just before ovulation, and then drop before menstruation. For some individuals, prolapse symptoms might be more noticeable or exacerbated during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. This phase occurs after ovulation and before menstruation. During this time, estrogen levels drop and progesterone levels rise, potentially leading to increased pelvic muscle relaxation and decreased support for the pelvic organs. This could contribute to heightened sensations of pelvic pressure, discomfort, or prolapse-related symptoms.

However, it's important to remember that individual experiences can vary, and not everyone will necessarily experience worsened symptoms during a specific phase of their menstrual cycle. If you have concerns about how your menstrual cycle might be impacting your prolapse symptoms, consulting a womens pelvic health physio is a great starting point. Here they can provide professional personalized guidance and recommendations on managing symptoms and may suggest strategies to alleviate discomfort during different phases of your menstrual cycle.

Just because your experience this doesn’t mean there’s nothing that can be done about it. Remember, everyone's experience is unique, so what you feel might not be the same for someone else. But seeking guidance and thinking of the long term (all the years of your life remaining) should be a priority over short term fixes.
