Are you wondering how to stop leaking? Or if you will ever feel like you again, without heaviness in your pelvic floor?
Exercise after pregnancy is very confusing with blanket statements like “do what you have always done” or “listen to your body”. What if you can’t do what you have always done without pelvic floor symptoms? Or you don’t know where to start?
I talk to women everyday who tell me that they are frustrated or feel stuck. They want to feel like themselves again and have less leaking, a stronger core and feel confident again.
Most women think we have 2 options:
A buggy boot camp/gym class that you used to go to - you lower the weight and maybe avoid the jumping jacks and burpees in case you leak, but ultimately you never fix your leaking or your diastasis. You occasionally wee yourself, but that’s the cost of having a baby, right?
A couch to 5k - You love running and this sounds like a great idea. You wear black leggings and a sanitary pad just in case. But you’ve missed the strength work needed, and there’s no introduction to impact so you end up in the deep end. Leaking, heaviness in your pelvic floor, and you're worried you have made it worse.
Neither of these sound like good options!
That’s why I created the BABS programme. Each workout includes breathing, core exercises, strength and impact to help you recover, regain strength, and get back to what you love!
Martina is a brilliant trainer. Her classes are thoughtfully planned and purposeful, with each exercise designed to help heal and rebuild strength postpartum. She explains the importance of breathing and alignment in a way that’s easy to understand, offers corrections and adjustments as well as adaptations when needed. I left her classes feeling much, much stronger than when I began! - Mandy
Unlike other programmes, this is not just a list of confusing exercises for you to do. The recorded workouts are follow along videos so you can press play and get to work.
I will be with you every step of the way!
What you can expect?
We start every workout with breathing exercises to restore your core and pelvic floor function. This is the foundation of everything else including running and jumping! The workouts include core and strength exercises to help you improve alignment, get a stronger core and ease aches.
This programme is not all slow mat based exercises, workouts include weights which we progress every 2 weeks. Then we add in some impact like hopping and jumping so you are confident that your body and pelvic floor is strong. Of course there is modifications if you need them and you can always get advice from me.
This programme uses the 3Rs method, to help you feel you feel strong and confident in your body again!
Restore your breathing which helps your core to work, strengthen your pelvic floor and manage pressure so you have less symptoms
Rebuild core, glute and hip strength with movements like squats, lunges with weights which we gradually progress.
Return to the exercises you love without leaking or other symptoms.
I really enjoyed the programme. I’ve surprised myself with how far I’ve come and I’ve really enjoyed it. The app is a game changer for me. This is my third time doing one of your programmes and the ease of getting on to the app to get it done has been great. It’s one less hurdle when it’s so easy to click in to the app or to have the prompt pop up. I would highly recommend the programme to my friends. My anterior prolapse has gone from a level 2 to level 1 during the programme and I think it’s down to the exercises. After 2/3 years of clicking knees I have found that has nearly almost gone thanks to your feedback on strengthening hamstrings. - Veronica
