Postpartum exercise DO's and DON'TS!

In today's episode, we are talking with fitness expert and pre/postnatal specialist Erika Shannon -  about exercising postpartum. We plan for pregnancy, we plan for labor, but once we enter postpartum it can feel like a black hole - especially when it comes to working out again.

Many of us (what up #momsquad) are torn between being mentally and physically exhausted but wanting to get our pre-baby 'body back (which sidenote Erika talks about the importance of a mindset first approach to recovery and replacing the idea of bouncing back with nurturing and loving your new body).

So if you   . . . 

• Are wondering what exercises you should and should not do postpartum
• Have or think you have diastasis recti and are not sure how to heal
• Want to focus on strengthening your pelvic floor
• Looking to feel supported and connected

This episode is for you! Also listen in to learn why it's never too late to start postpartum recovery and how to own your journey
