Congratulations. Every postpartum recovery is different, so please consult your GP or physiotherapist before you begin. Most women are advised to wait at least six weeks before returning to high-impact cardio, and sometimes longer. Week 1 focuses on breath, pelvic floor and deep core, so it’s a gentle place to ease back in when you’re ready.

This Program is not suitable for women with diastasis recti. If you have been diagnosed with diastasis recti by a medical professional, we recommend that you initially work with a Women’s Health Physiotherapist. Once you have clearance to resume normal training, or if you know how to modify exercises, you can commence this Program.

Absolutely. Building strength and bone density before Perimenopause is one of the best things you can do for your body in the years ahead. This Program gives you the foundations to feel strong now and supported through every stage that follows.

Sessions are 21 to 30 minutes, designed to fit into your week. All you need is a set of dumbbells and a mat. If you have resistance bands, a Pilates ball or a yoga block you can add them in, but they’re optional and every session can be adapted to suit you.

The Women’s Health Program is included in your LEAN subscription. You’ll find it in your Programs tab and we start together on Monday 9 November.
