I started this program at 3.5 months postpartum, three days a week. The progressions are thorough, with the first 6 weeks focused on re-building core strength. I am currently on week 12 and although the weights are not heavy, I feel stronger than I did before baby.

I have known Kristin for a long time and as a physical therapist I loved to watch her journey back to the gym after baby. I ended up having to have a major pelvic surgery in August 2021 and knew I needed to reach out to her to get back to weightlifting. Her program is extremely holistic, hitting all the muscles you need to train so weightlifting is safe! I cannot express enough how every Mom, and even someone like me with surgery, should use this to return to weightlifting, no matter what kind!

I started this program at 2 weeks postpartum after a c section and it has been the perfect program to help me move with intention while recovering from major surgery and navigating life as a mom! Being an athlete my whole life and dealing with injuries in the past it was important to me to have a comprehensive program to follow during any kind of recovery. The daily warm ups and core work are amazing and I appreciate having appropriate substitutions along the way specific for a c section recovery. This program is perfect for anyone looking to get back to Weightlifting and CrossFit safely and come back stronger than you were before!
