Good, bad, sexy, angry, confidence, self-doubt?
Are you working together toward a goal or are you covering her and giving up? 😇😈
Be completely HONEST with me!
🏵️Are you meal planning ahead of time so you make healthy choices throughout the week and feel less bloated?
🏵️Are you taking a half an hour walk a day or making a conscious effort to walk the stairs instead of the elevator so you can build a healthy foundation?
🏵️Are you picking a workout program that suits your busy lifestyle so you are actually committing to it?
The moment we identify what our body needs instead of yo yo-ing aka do-it-when-we-feel-like-it, it is the moment we will see the transformation.
Here is the question most new moms seem to ask, where do I even begin?
If you aren’t sure, I would love to chat with you over at my Instagram, where I share valuable tips, resources, workout, nutrition, motherhood!
So here are some tangible steps to regain and work together with your postpartum body:

If you self-diagnosed, you need a professional opinion on your situation. They will be able to confirm and guide. She could also check if there are other areas of concern that such as a hernia, pelvic floor issues.

When you practice breathing, your breath should be a deep inhale and exhale rather than a shallow quick in and out. Your rib cages should be rising up and down, not just the belly!

A postpartum wrap is super helpful if you are a new mom and someone with a severe diastasis. However, not every wrap is made equal. The one that puts a lot of pressure on a particular spot of your abdomen won’t do any good. And when the wrap presses the middle of your belly, guess where the pressure all go? Baby, are you down down down down down..🎵
🌻𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐍 𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐇 𝐃𝐈𝐄𝐓
It’s imperative to eat the right food to help regenerate the stretched tissues. Collagen boosting food such as fish, avocado, soy and garlic are staples in my house!
🌻𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐄𝐗𝐄𝐑𝐂𝐈𝐒𝐄𝐒
Exercises that target the deep core muscles. But you must do the exercises that are suitable at where you are in your recovery journey. You can’t run before you walk! Vice versa, if you run, then you should run a little faster to the finish line, don’t be the bunny in the bunny turtle story!
🌻𝐀 𝐓𝐎𝐓𝐀𝐋 𝐁𝐎𝐃𝐘 𝗪𝐎𝐑𝐊𝐎𝐔𝐓
You need to work the entire body, not just the core, so you can prevent belly plateau while still targeting all layers of your core. You will get stronger and have more energy to play with your kids!
There you have it.
Your fitness, health, and overall wellness should be your NUMBER ONE priority.🙌
❓Did you know that 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝟖𝟎% 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 for both cardio and muscle-strengthening activities,
Children spend 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝟕 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐟-𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫 in front of the screen!
I was shocked when I saw this. How?
If there is one thing I know for sure, we are the role models for our children.
When we become active, energetic and happy in our overall health state, our children will follow.
If you’re not physically healthy,
if your gut is falling out every time you pick up your child or,
if you have low esteem with your appearance,
then
how are you supposed to enjoy and do everything you love?
And how are you expecting your child NOT to be the same?
👉
We need to lead from the front. And that’s why I have involved my workout with my children ever since I started my fitness journey. It is a messy workout every time (with 💩, 🍼and 😵).
Though you don’t need to know exactly how to start, where to start, the most important thing you can do is START NOW, invest in yourself before you it is getting too late.
