Workout Postpartum

If you are a new mom, congratulations! Giving birth is one of the biggest athletic events of your life! In addition to ALL the benefits listed for Pilates during pregnancy, below are specific to postpartum mothers.

Benefits of Pilates Postpartum

Physical Benefits

  • Postnatal Pilates is gentle and low-impact, which enables a mother to heal and makes it very safe to ease back into exercising.

  • Helps accelerate recovery from childbirth by repairing and rebuilding muscles that have been weakened or damaged.

  • Corrects the misalignment of pregnancy, strengthening the deep core muscles which have been stretched and weakened during pregnancy.

  • Promotes total-body alignment, better posture, and enhanced awareness of a mother’s “new” post-baby body.

  • Helps manage diastasis recti (separation of the abdominals) and regenerate the abdominal tissues.

  • Teaches mothers how to connect with their pelvic floor muscles to help with pelvic floor rehabilitation after vaginal birth. Strong pelvic floor muscles can prevent urinary leakage and a pelvic organ prolapse.

  • Keeps the mother’s body strong, powerful, and pain-free with all the new demands being placed on her posture that come from holding the growing baby, picking up and putting them down, nursing and so forth.

Mental & Emotional Benefits

  • One of the best forms of self-care a mother can do for herself. Dedicating time to yourself is so important during this time.

  • Helps reduce stress, improve sleep quality and make you feel invigorated, both physically and emotionally

  • Releases endorphins which are hormones that help make you feel good and help prevent postpartum depression

  • The intentional deep breathing during Pilates oxygenates both the muscles and the brain, which translates to increased mental clarity and patience.

  • The boost in circulation will energize the body, something that proves especially helpful for sleep-deprived parents.

  • Helps manage postpartum stress such as anxiety and general fogginess that many mothers experience in the weeks or months after childbirth

  • A happy mother = A happy child

“I have been working with Ale virtually throughout my pregnancy and into a year postpartum, and it has been a fantastic experience! I completed the Boston Marathon with her help. She personalizes each workout to where you are at. The workouts are fun, impactful, and challenging. I highly recommend working with Ale if you want to meet your fitness goals.”

When is it safe to resume exercise post-birth?

Exercise can typically commence 6-8 weeks after a vaginal birth and 8-10 weeks after a C-section provided the mother had an uncomplicated birth and delivery.

Most importantly, however, the mother must receive medical clearance before beginning any exercise regimen.
