Postpartum Stage 1 / Week 0 - 2
In the first 2 weeks of returning to exercise post childbirth the focus is on connecting to the pelvic floor and moving the body with low load (effort).
In Stage 1 we run through pelvic floor contractions, relaxed breathing and gentle movements of the arms, spine and hips - all exercises are performed in lying, side-lying and on all 4s.
Grab a set of light weights to add to the arms, if you want it, and be ready to feel a burn in the glutes!
For more detailed training on Pelvic Floor contractions see our video on "The Pelvic Floor".
