Postpartum Phase 1

Postpartum Recovery Phase 1 (6–8 Weeks Postpartum)
Gentle Movement. Foundational Strength. Connection with Baby.

Welcome to the beginning of your postpartum strength journey. In Phase 1, we focus on healing from the inside out — rebuilding your deep core, restoring breath connection, and gradually regaining strength in a way that honors your body's recovery timeline.

This phase includes two intentionally designed workouts:

🍼 Workout 1: Core + Breath Reset (with Baby Optional)
Gentle, grounding movements to reawaken the core and pelvic floor. Focused on diaphragmatic breathing, posture correction, and reconnecting to your inner strength. Perfect for bonding time with baby or solo movement when you have a few minutes to yourself.

🏋️♀️ Workout 2: Full-Body Strength Using Baby or Bands
This circuit uses compound movements like squats, presses, and hip hinges — with your baby as resistance or using a stability ball and resistance bands. No heavy weights needed — just your body, your baby, and smart, functional movement to start rebuilding strength.

✨ What You’ll Need:

• A mat or soft surface

• Optional: stability ball, resistance bands, and a cuddly baby ready to join in

💡 Cleared by your provider? Great! You can even bring this to your doctor for approval before starting.

Remember: Healing can't be rushed — this is the foundation your strength will be built on. Gentle doesn't mean easy — it means intentional. Let's rebuild, one rep and one breath at a time.
