This Postpartum Pilates Workout is designed to help you ease back into your workouts after pregnancy. ❤️
This postnatal workout is perfect for women who have been cleared by their doctor to resume exercise, but want to safely rebuild core strength, pelvic floor strength, and overall muscle tone and stability.
Listen to your body, breathe, and be patient as you re-connect with your body again. Healing takes time, but you CAN rebuild your strength, tone up, and feel amazing in your body after having a baby.
This workout is okay for those with Diastasis Recti, assuming you have been cleared by your doctor to resume exercise.

I am 5 weeks postpartum and have wanted to find something like this. So nice and gently. Really appreciate your respect of the postpartum body

We love hearing that, Jordan! Pilates is wonderful for strengthening those deep core muscles in a gentle way, especially during the postpartum season. You are worth it!

9 months postpartum here. I had a c-section with my second babe. Your videos are really helping me feel confident again! I'm only a few days in, but I can already feel the difference. I crave my pilates time! Thank you for your videos!!

Hi Robin I had diastasis recti and when I was 6 weeks pp - after clearance from my doctor - I needed to find a friendly pilates workout to help slowly strengthen my core. I love your clear and warm instructions and now at 10 weeks pp I do this video almost every day with massive results. Thank you so much.

I'm 4 months postpartum now after my 2nd son was born, and I started with your diastasis recti video + pelvic floor, but now this video was just the right amount of challenge I needed for the next step in my progress of building back core strength. The Balance Life does such a great work on making pilates accessible to all women, no matter in which season of life we are at. I follow your workouts since 2014, you helped me building a workout habit that I love and look for everyday, and that brought positive changes not just for my body but also for my mind and my relationships. You helped me during 2 pregnancies and 2 postpartum experiences, what can I say more? Thank you for all your work and dedication, and thank you so much for keeping it real! The world needs that inspiring light of truth! 🙏💪❤

Thank you so much for this. Today I did the pilates warm up followed by this. It is so well aimed. I am a loooong time postpartum with a 5yo and 3yo but I have been having massive core issues since about a year after my 2nd. After diastasis recti both times it seems I never did enough to rehab my core and quarantine has meant I can't get to my physio or pilates classes but have gone backwards massively. I am very hopeful starting back closer to the beginning and building my core strength gently will reduce my ongoing lower back and pelvic floor pains. I so appreciate you sharing these videos!

How is your separation now?

@michellehogg1513 21 күн бұрын

I just found this at 6 months pp. I overused my abs after birth as within a week I was walking my son to school pushing a pram (the birth was a C-section). I was in so much pain and still have some pain now but I'm hoping to regain some strength doing this daily! It was gentle enough to do but hard enough that I felt it.

@wearelindywell 16 күн бұрын

Congrats on the new addition to your family! We are so sorry for the pain and discomfort you've experienced! We'd recommend seeing a physical therapist, especially one who specializes in pelvic floor health, for any medical care or treatment that you may need, as Diastasis Recti is very common in this season and beyond.

I love this video - thank you. I've found it a great length which makes it manageable to do regularly with 2 small children. It's been particularly useful during lockdown here in the UK as I'm now much stronger than 3 moths ago. Thanks again!

Loved this!! My back is in spasms so hurt at first but feels so much better now. I wasn't sure if I should be engaging my tummy muscles on all of the exercises?

@wearelindywell 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Pepper! So glad to hear that your back is feeling much better now. 😊 For many of the exercises, your core will be engaged, but don't worry too much about keeping your core engaged throughout the entire workout. There's a lot that your body is doing, so we encourage you to simply listen to the cues on when to engage your core, as well as cues for breathing, form, etc. ❤️

Great workout. Can you do some more Pilates that is safe for POP?

@wearelindywell 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Lisa! We will definitely keep your request in mind as we plan future workouts - thanks for asking! In the meantime, here's a blog post with more information on exercise during the postpartum season. :) thebalancedlifeonline.com/postpartum-exercise-returning-to-pilates-after-pregnancy/

That’s great! I find that in general, Pilates doesn’t offer much for women with POP.

@sarahmedley2037 2 жыл бұрын

This was so awesome! I’m dealing with lower back pain while doing some of the stretches. How would I combat that?

@wearelindywell 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Sarah - Way to take time to care for yourself today! We're sorry to hear about the back pain you're experiencing while doing the stretches. We're so glad you're listening to your body. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide individualized recommendations regarding injuries and/or rehabilitation. We know that every body is different and every situation is unique, so it is hard to give proper advice. We recommend speaking with your doctor and/or physical therapist to determine which exercises are safe and recommended for you based on your individual needs. Back pain is especially tricky because for some focusing on strengthening and mobilizing the muscles related to the back, hips and shoulders is helpful while others may need to avoid focusing on these areas to heal. We're cheering you on, both on and off your mat!💕

Heyy...Can these be done if I had a c section

@wearelindywell 3 жыл бұрын

Hi there - thank you so much for your message. Our workouts are designed for women of all walks and stages of life, and Pilates is relatively low impact, which you may find beneficial. 😊 That being said, it's difficult to say exactly what's best for you without seeing you, and everybody is so different. We would recommend first speaking with your medical provider to make sure you're cleared to do Pilates. If so, we encourage you to start slow and go at your own pace. We also offer modifications throughout our workouts so that you can modify (or skip) certain exercises based on your needs and comfort level. ❤️
