Episode 23 - Postpartum Fitness: Return to Running

About the episode:

Don’t call it a comeback!!  Part 2 of my solo episodes, and this one is all about returning to fitness during the postpartum.  Fitness/exercise/movement is a very important part of our overall health and wellness, and like I talk about in part 1, running is my go-to sport.

We are forever changed after having children!  And this can totally impact how we approach fitness for the rest of our lives.  I try to stay on topic in this episode, but I’m so very passionate about working with postpartum mamas that I’m prone to tangents.  So grab a pen and paper, put some headphones on, and listen to this episode cause we talk about:

Our goals and setting intentions for our postpartum journey  

  • Don’t call it a comeback!

  • Being graceful with yourself

  • Getting back to the basics

  • Nursing and exercise (I get a little heated with this one!)

  • Stroller running

  • And so much more

Be sure to listen to part 1 as we talk about all things prenatal fitness.  

Please check-in with your care provider before beginning any new exercises and to go over your fitness goals.
