In today’s episode, Jessie is talking about returning to exercise after tummy tuck. This is something Jessie has worked through with many clients, and is working through it in real time with a current client. Likely, clients who have a tummy tuck have prepared for this procedure for such a long time, and they need to feel comfortable and safe as they move around in this new version of their body.
