How Greta Ended Up Being STRONGER in Postpartum than Before Kids!

When you learned you were pregnant, did you worry about losing your fitness?

This was true for one of our clients, Greta, who is an active duty Judge Advocate General (JAG). For her, fitness is not only an important aspect of her job – it's also something that makes her happy.

When she had her daughter about a year ago, she faced a tough recovery and a strenuous job to return to. She’d put on 60 pounds during her pregnancy and afterward struggled with pelvic floor pain and connecting to her core. She began our postpartum recovery program six weeks postpartum.

In this episode, Greta shares her journey back to fitness – the mistakes she made, what she learned, and what she recommends more mothers do in order to feel STRONGER postpartum than before kids.

In this episode you’ll hear about:

• The mistakes Greta made in postpartum – and how she overcame them
• The importance of showing up, no matter what intensity you ultimately decide to work out at
• Greta’s advice for new moms regarding consistency
• The tools Greta developed to combat pelvic floor pain
• The importance of CONTINUING foundational work – even if you think you’ve been making progress
• How feeling stronger affects Greta’s energy and quality of life
