Lynn's Postpartum Personal Training Journey: Get Stronger & Running

Welcoming a new chapter of motherhood, Lynn shares her concerns about returning to running postpartum and her search for a solution to strengthen her body. Discover how UFIT supported her in this transformative journey.

Goal: get back to running after giving birth

Lynn, a determined and ambitious new mom, found herself worrying about the challenges of returning to running after giving birth. She had heard horror stories about weakened pelvic floor muscles, potential injuries, and Diastasis Recti. Determined to overcome these obstacles, she began exploring different places where she could regain her strength and safely resume her running routine.

The Personal Training Journey

Lynn's search led her to UFIT, where she found a personal trainer who understood her unique needs and goals. The initial sessions focused on understanding Lynn's postpartum challenges, including right wrist pain from carrying her baby and left upper back soreness due to breastfeeding positions. Additionally, she experienced discomfort in her pelvic floor and inner thigh while lifting her baby out of the cot.

Learning the proper technique for lifting<

Lynn's personal trainer provided her with useful tips on proper techniques for carrying and lifting her baby, alleviating the strain on her wrists and upper back. The training sessions began with a focus on full-body workouts to strengthen her core, pelvic floor, and overall mobility. As Lynn's body gradually recovered, the trainer introduced more challenging exercises, gradually progressing from bodyweight routines to incorporating heavier weights.

Personal training was disrupted because of Covid

Lynn's journey was not without its obstacles. One of the unexpected challenges occurred when she tested positive for COVID-19 during her second week of training. Disappointed but undeterred, Lynn took it as a reminder that life can throw unexpected curveballs, and she needed to adjust and adapt. With resilience and determination, she resumed her training the following week, ready to face any hurdles that came her way.

Milestones and Progress: gained strength and confidence to get back to running

After 12 sessions with her personal trainer, Lynn emerged as a stronger and fitter mom, achieving her goal of safely returning to fitness. The transformation was evident not only in her physical strength but also in her mental resilience. Through consistent and dedicated efforts, Lynn rediscovered her passion for running and gained confidence in her postpartum body.

Lessons Learned: Take it slow and find time for themselves

Reflecting on her journey, Lynn shares valuable advice for new moms who may be navigating the challenging postpartum period. She emphasizes the importance of taking it slow and allowing oneself to recover fully before diving into any rigorous fitness routines. Lynn encourages new moms to find time for themselves and not solely define their identity as mothers. For Lynn, her one hour at the gym became a cherished time of self-care and rejuvenation, allowing her to return to her baby with renewed energy and happiness.

Lynn's journey taught her the significance of balancing the responsibilities of motherhood with personal well-being. She realized that prioritizing recovery and gradually easing back into fitness were essential for long-term success. Lynn's experience also highlighted the importance of seeking professional guidance and support, as a qualified personal trainer can provide personalized advice and safe exercises tailored to postpartum needs.

Personal training can help new moms get back in good health and confidence

Lynn's inspiring postpartum fitness journey with UFIT showcases the power of determination and the positive impact personal training can have on a new mom's life. Through the guidance and expertise of her personal trainer, Lynn overcame her fears and challenges, embracing strength and safely returning to her passion for running. Her story serves as an inspiration for other new moms, reminding them that with patience, commitment, and professional support, they too can achieve their postpartum fitness goals.
