“How Can I Lose My Mom Pooch?” | Love Yourself Post Baby Instead | Strong Functional Postpartum Body

Показать описание

One of the most common emails I get is “how can I lose my mom pooch?” I absolutely hate the word pooch and used to refuse to use it but since so many of my clients use it, I would love for us to embrace it in a more body positive light.
.
I completely understand the desire to feel a certain way or look a certain way and I do not want anyone to feel shamed by their desire to look a different way. Yet – I think a lot of us have been heavily brainwashed by toxic cultural norms that lead us to spend many years hating our bodies.
.
It becomes very hard to love yourself post-baby because there is not a very strong message encouraging that.
.
And sometimes when people make massive body transformations, it has come from a place of self-hatred. That feels really unfair. As a curvy person – I know this feeling very well.
.
So the question I would really love to answer here is, “How can I have a functional and strong body after having a baby?” (or even when dealing with a diastasis recti separation.)
.
Just because the goal in the fitness and culture industry is that flat is better, there is no basis for that from a functional standpoint. If you do in fact have a Diastasis recti injury, working hard to get a flat abs can actually go against the goal of healing from the injury.
.
And it can actually make the abdominal wall protrude more and more and more.
.
It is really important that if you are healing from a core injury that you choose workouts that do not encourage “bulging “and that in your daily life activities you minimize the amount of bulging happening – Whether from tying your shoe laces, picking up a stroller, or simply opening the door.
.
There are many other elements like upper body mobility, pelvic mobility, and breathing mechanics that go into healing a diastasis recti.
.
From simply an exercise perspective, avoiding exercises that make you bulge and finding a great core training method that gets you strong without compensation is really the key.
