Following on from my theme of ante and postnatal blog posts on the first of every month, this month we have the Postnatal exercise guide! If you’re currently pregnant, you can check out the previous Complete Guide to Exercise in Pregnancy here.

Links to Postnatal pilates videos

I have created a small series of Postnatal specific Pilates videos. These videos are safe for anyone postnatal and have been designed in a progressive manner ie. start with the first video in the very early stages and progress through them in order. However, further down the line postnatally you can complete any video as there is always a benefit to re-visiting the basics and working on core and body strength. They are also an ideal warm up to other workouts in the postnatal period.

I’d love to know how you are getting on with your postnatal journey! Leave me a comment below or via my social media channels on Instagram or Facebook!
