My first workout postpartum! I’m obsessed with everything you post. Your workouts are so effective and not time consuming! Thankyou for this!

Thank you for your consistent quality uploads. There is always something for me on your channel & I am constantly amazed at how much you accomplish in these shorter videos!

I've loved your videos, especially your strength training workout! They're my absolute fave 😊 more strength series please

Hi Lauren! I was an athlete before pregnancy. I was quite strong, doing push ups, pull ups and one leg squats with ease but then 3 months ago I had a c-section and now I feel quite weak and insecure when working out because I am not sure which exercise is safe after c-section and I am really eager to get back in shape and be strong. So love this and pleaseee more videos for strong workouts after c-section because YT is full with soft workouts which are also great, but at some point progressive training is what we need :) Thanks!

This is a great workout to ease me into strength training. I'm combining it with postpartum abs. Thank you! I also love your guide I purchased.

I did this workout twice last week and noticed it helped my knee pain. Thanks for the video. I will keep doing it and progress to the next workout. :)

Thank you @laurenfitterfitness for these c-section videos and the playlist. The first workouts in the c-section playlist start with this video and other strength training workouts, and the later videos are core workouts -- should we be doing the playlist in order from 1 to 35 or do we pick and choose?

When would you suggest starting this post c section? I worked out my whole pregnancy and of course stopped when I had the baby. I am now 6 weeks out post c section

Hi Lauren, I’m 3 months PP and I have a 2 finger gap. Where do you recommend I start? I’m excited to try your workouts but I’m a bit overwhelmed by all the available content. Thanks!

Hi Lauren love working out to your videos!! I am close to 9 years post partum, if I can still be be called by that term! 😄 I have PCOD and have been doing your hormone balancing strength series. Can I start with this series or will it further toss my hormone levels off balance?🤯 Do you recommend I stick to gentler strength training? Eagerly waiting for your response. 🙏

[Chitranjali_Atul]

Can I do this as I am beginner with weight training? And 1 year postpartum?

[christineralbovsky]

For the first week do we do consecutive days? Or every other day? I did my first day yesterday and oh I’m sore 😅

[amandastogsdill]

How long do we do each video before we move to the next?

[chertheloveofscents]

Not me over here panting my way through this with my little 5 pounders 😂

[lainienewby]

Is there a substitute for the weights. I only have a single 2 lbs weight 🫣
