The Warm-Up Hug: (5 minutes)

Begin with a warm-up hug for yourself. Stand tall, gently rotate your shoulders, and sway side to side. As you warm up, set the stage for a workout filled with self-love. (Yaaas girl, you absolutely desire this!)

Dynamic Stretching: (5 minutes) (Learn more about this HERE)

Transition into dynamic stretches to awaken your muscles. Reach for the sky, gently twist your torso, and kick out those legs. Limber up with movements that prioritize your body’s needs.

Mommy Cardio Blast: (10 minutes)

Engage in heart-pumping cardio that suits your postpartum journey:
Power Marches: Lift those knees high, engaging your core.
Modified Jumping Jacks: Low-impact and high fun – jump or step out with your arms raised.
Dance Break: Shake it off with your favorite dance moves.

Strengthen & Tone Circuit: (8 minutes)

Target key muscle groups with a circuit:

1. Squats: Stand shoulder-width apart, lower down as if sitting in a chair, then rise back up. (These can be done with body weight only, dumbbells, or kettlebells. Totally up to you!)
2. Lunges: Step forward or backward, alternating legs.(These can be done with body weight only, dumbbells, or kettlebells. Totally up to you!)
3. Push-Ups (Modified): On your knees or against a wall – go at your own pace.
4. Plank Holds: Engage your core, hold for 30 seconds, then rest. (These really suck, and it is totally ok if you have to work up to 30 seconds!)

Yoga Flow & Relaxation: (2 minutes- these are linked to YouTube quickie instructions)

Shift into a gentle yoga flow to cool down and center yourself:
Child’s Pose: Stretch out and relax.
Cat-Cow Stretch: Round and arch your back, flowing with your breath.
Seated Forward Bend: Stretch your legs out, reaching for your toes.
Corpse Pose (Savasana): Lay down, close your eyes, and soak in the rejuvenating vibes.
