As mentioned above, Kayla was cleared by her doctor seven weeks after giving birth. She went to her physical therapist and worked through what exercises were safe for her to ease into . When she went back to the gym shortly after, she could barely keep up a 14-minute slow walk on the treadmill. She focused a lot on posture, and, because she had a C-section, ab exercises where she was sitting up were off limits at first, she said.
Post-Pregnancy, backed by medical professionals, allows you to go at your own pace, which differs from how the other BBG programs are structured."It's very focused on things that you need as a postpregnant mom," Kayla explained."Great posture, correct posture, mobility, being able to move." It also is dependent on your own journey — before you start the program, you'll answer questions about the delivery you had and if there were any complications.
Each week, there are two recommended workouts, Upper Body & Core and Lower Body & Core, and an optional full-body session. The workouts themselves take less time than typical BBG sessions — 15 to 25 minutes — and there are even shorter optional sessions that you can tack on as well: Upper-Body Posture, Hip Strength, and Lower-Back Relief. And, like BBG Beginner and the rest of Kayla's BBG programs, a few days of LISS are also built in.
"Post-Pregnancy is not a progression into any of the programs. It is a program within itself," Kayla noted. You can redo it if you listen to your body and realize you're not ready for anything further. You can also, Kayla said, try BBG Beginner depending on how you're feeling. Before getting started with Post-Pregnancy, Kayla advised you get clearance from your doctor. And, like BBG Beginner, you'll get access to it when you download and pay for that app.
She said,"I think it took me three months to just ease into beginner work," and shared that progressing back into chin-ups was a big milestone for her in the strength-regaining process. She couldn't even do one at first, but she walked herself through what she typically tells her clients who are learning chin-ups, working with bands and practicing holding herself up to the bar. Only recently did she reach her goal of 15 in a row — and it felt amazing."I just freaked out.
