Postpartum Lower Body
Pilates style, low impact lower body work - including the core muscles.
I rediscovered this workout I made for one of my earliest postpartum clients, and I wanted to share it with all of you now that I have this platform. I hope you feel GOOD when you do it. Obviously you don’t have to be postpartum to benefit from it either — it’s just gentle in style, so if that’s what you like go for it!
You’ll need: just a mat and some space around you.
