Week 2: adding in light weights & supersets Welcome to your second week of postpartum recovery! This week we introduce light weights to build upon the foundations established in Week 1. **Alignment-Focused Warmups** Each session begins with gentle movements designed to optimize ribcage and pelvic alignment for proper breathing mechanics—essential for diastasis recti healing. You'll perform targeted deep core breathing exercises paired with functional core strengthening. **Time-Efficient Supersets** Your workouts feature strategic supersets combining lower body movements with upper body or core exercises. This approach: - Maximizes your limited time as a new mom - Introduces light resistance for rebuilding strength - Enhances both cardiovascular and muscular endurance - Specifically targets postpartum priority areas: glutes, adductors, and back muscles **Pelvic Floor Recovery** Each session concludes with specialized pelvic floor cool-down exercises focused on relaxation and lengthening—a crucial and often overlooked component of rebuilding proper pelvic floor function and strength. Listen to your body and modify as needed. You're laying the groundwork for sustainable postpartum strength!
