Postpartum Weight Loss Program

Once you have a baby, you may wonder if your body will ever be the same. Changes in weight, body fat and even the structure of your hips and abs are normal. But that doesn't mean you can't lose weight and get healthy.

This 7-week program can help you lose the baby weight with weekly newsletters detailing your exercise schedule for the week. Assignments include a variety of cardio, strength training and flexibility workouts for all fitness levels. The program includes:

  • Basic information about your postpartum body
  • Tips for getting ready to exercise
  • Ab workouts to build strength in muscles weakened by pregnancy and birth
  • Home and gym cardio workouts
  • Strength workouts perfect for the new mom who may be low on time or energy
  • Flexibility workouts for relaxation
  • New workouts and challenges each week, so you have plenty of options
  • A schedule incorporating each of your workouts
  • Steps for staying on track and fitting in exercise
Before you sign up for this program, get clearance from your doctor or midwife to participate in cardio and strength training workouts.

If you're ready, let's get started on your Postpartum Weight Loss Program.
