Today started at one of those i wasnt sure I was going to make it though.

Honestly my period was due and about 24 hours before I feel so tired I could fall asleep standing up.

But we got there!
After 3 bloody cracks at breakfast and freezing my arse off in the park.

I managed a 20min yoga set because my body is literally made of wood and a 20min strength workout.

It was amongst the chaos!!

Im really trying to embrace these small wins and maintaining the habits and at the minute I am just making it up as I go along.

I can feel that challenge itch though.
Marathon? Triathlon? New hobby?

Exercise when the kids go to bed…

It’s not the cellulite.
It’s the pelvic floor dysfunction…

Needing to wear a pad.
Worrying you’ll smell like wee.
Staying close to a bathroom—just in case.
Leaking when you squat.
That heavy, dragging feeling in your va**na.
Not being able to control wind.
Painful haemorrhoids.

These are common, but they’re not things you have to just “put up with.”

You deserve to feel strong and confident in your body again.

Support exists. Help exists.
And you don’t have to do it alone. 💛

Seek a womens health physio and a coach that understands how to support women returning to exercise.

From running a marathon to hardly running a mile without stopping.

Im a huge advocate for getting back into exercise early postpartum. I’ve done it before. In the gym at 4 weeks.

But not this time my friend….

4 kids.
2 under 2.
Winter baby.
Little social support.
PND
Sleep deprivation
Prolapse
Haemorrhoids
Surgery
Relocation.

Am I really that surprised I couldn’t keep on top of it? NO
Did I berate myself and make myself feel like s**t for not holding the one standard I had been preaching for the last 3 years. YUP

If you are at the magic 12 month mark postpartum and you havnt ticked all the boxes you thought you would then let me reassure you are not alone and there is still time for you to achieve your goals.

Research has shown even elite athletes struggle to return to sport postpartum.

If you need more support returning to exercise postpartum then follow along.

Back on the grid. Still postpartum. Still rebuilding. Still powered by coffee.

I would love to know about your return to exercise postpartum so leave a comment.
