Pilates is cute 🩷 but strong bones + strong muscles are essential — especially as a mama bear.
Women are already 4x more likely to develop osteoporosis. But pregnancy, breastfeeding and chronic high stress of increases those chances even more
After pregnancy your body goes through HUGE hormonal shifts:
👇
🦴 Oestrogen drops → which means lower bone density
💪 Muscle mass decreases → less strength, slower metabolism
🔥Diastasis Recti postpartum → core needs repair & rebuild
🩻 Bone density can drop 3–7% during pregnancy & breastfeeding
This is why lifting weights isn’t just to have a hot m**f bod — it’s protective.
It rebuilds bone density, restores muscle, supports your pelvic floor, fixes back/hip pain, boosts confidence, and makes everyday mum-life a hell of a lot easier.
Strong mums aren’t born.
They’re built — one session at a time. 💛🔥
