Drea & Brit are pulling back the curtain on the sneaky postpartum imbalances that can mess with your strength, energy, and even your confidence — long after baby. 👀 In this episode, we break down many common issues we see as postpartum trainers, how to spot them in your own body, and simple ways to start restoring balance so you can put leaking, pain, and pressure behind you, and enter into your strongest season yet! 💪
In this episode, we discuss:
- What happens to a woman's body during pregnancy
- Relaxin (hormone)
- Diastasis recti (abdominal separation)
- Rib flare
- Deep core muscles (transverse abdominals)
- Glute squeezing
- Urine leaking (with coughing, jumping, or other impact activities)
- Where to start if you do have an imbalance
