Really? Can core exercises alone make your entire body strong? Well, let me just say, this is my wheelhouse. I LOVE talking about the core, and as a physical therapist, I can go on and on explaining the muscles of the body and how they work. I'm excited to answer this controversial question and bring some clarity to you as you look at your body in the mirror and reevaluate your fitness game. It's easier than you think — postpartum exercise that is. See why as you listen in to today's episode.

If I was to ask you what your biggest struggle is when it comes to postpartum fitness, I would guess it's consistency.... am I right?

You are struggling to stick to your workout routines. Why is this the problem? Why can't you just find the time to get your workout done and call it a day?

Mama, you are not alone. This is what I hear over and over again from new moms and seasoned moms, that they can't stick to a workout program or consistently work out because life gets in the way. Well, let's tackle this problem and go a little deeper in this episode so you can get to the root of the problem. It's time to make a change and be the fit mom that you are.

Isn't it crazy how after becoming a mom we start to think that we are no longer going to be fit again. We have spiraling thoughts enter our brain that we will never play sports, I won't ever get time to make it to the gym, I'm probably going to have this mommy pooch forever, and so on. Well, I'm here to stop you in your tracks, get those negative thoughts out of your mind and flip the scrip with some mindset shifts that are going to completely transform the way you think about postpartum fitness. Listen in! This is a good one.
