Becoming a mom is a monumental life event, but the journey after birth brings its own set of challenges—especially when it comes to recovery and managing pain. Whether you’ve experienced a vaginal birth or a C-section, your body needs time to heal, and some level of discomfort is to be expected.

After 3 c-sections, I have learned there are tools, techniques, and resources to help you manage pain effectively and support your recovery process.

Let’s dive into why strength training should be a priority for every mom, at any stage of life.

Let’s break down why low-impact exercise is such a valuable part of your fitness journey, how to do it effectively, and why it’s the ideal starting place for moms aiming to get active at any size.

From quick home workouts and playful outdoor activities to setting achievable goals and building a supportive community, there are plenty of enjoyable ways to stay active. The key is to keep things light, flexible, and fun—so fitness becomes a part of your day that you look forward to, rather than just another task on your to-do list.

Taking care of your health on vacation is all about finding balance, prioritizing self-care, and setting realistic expectations.
