Post pregnancy exercise
BECOME STRONG
Did you know that for the first 6 months after the birth your body is still very elastic due to the higher collagen and elastin that were produced by your body to allow you to give birth. At this moment your lower back is a little bit weaker especially if you had a c section.
AILMENTS
Shoulder pain due to breastfeeding
tiredness and exhaustion
lower back pain
feeling of weakness
being run over by a truck
SAFE POSTNATAL EXERCISE
I explain to my clients that your back is like a sandwich, back muscles are 1 piece of bread, front muscles another piece of bread and the spine is the filling, if the front bread has been cut through it will weaken the sandwich.
