Postnatal - Birth to Bodylove. 0-6 Weeks After Birth Program

Postnatal - Birth to Bodylove. 0-6 Weeks After Birth Program

A specialized program of daily videos designed to recover, reactivate and reconnect your postnatal core for the first 6 weeks after pregnancy and childbirth. Follow along with Ali from the day she returns home from hospital for the first 6 weeks after the birth of her second child. Workouts are around 10 minutes each and together with Ali you will slowly, safely and effectively reactivate your body after childbirth. For the first two weeks the program has daily core and stretch videos designed to reactivated and mobilize the postpartum body. The following 4 weeks of the program are divided into weeks 3-4 and weeks 5-6. Weeks 3-4 share collections of core, stretch, lower and upper body strengthening workouts. During Weeks 5-6 there is a special Two Week Core Challenge which is a collection of core workouts. These are designed to challenge the strength and connection you have been working on and prepare you to safely transition to the postnatal Core Collective. If you have had a c-section we highly recommend you repeat weeks 5 -6. These is a self assessment video you can follow along with to track your progress during this program.

Some equipment such as a physio ball, block and small ball would be helpful for this program.
