57. Strong Moms Don’t Jump Back Into Running at 6 Weeks Postpartum

In this episode, I’m breaking down why strong moms don’t jump right back into running at 6 weeks postpartum, even if they feel “cleared” to exercise. I talk about what your body is still healing from during that early postpartum phase, why leaking and heaviness are signs to pay attention to, and how to safely rebuild strength before returning to impact.I also share the gradual approach I use with my patients to return to running postpartum, including breath work, core and pelvic floor rehab, strength training, and guidance on how to test your body without pushing too far, too fast. My goal is to help you feel strong and confident as you get back to the activities you love while protecting your long-term recovery.Make sure to hit follow/subscribe so you never miss an episode!Connect with Dr. Karlie:Follow on Instagram @drkarlieCheck out the websiteResources & Links:Join the waitlist for my Pelvic Floor Fix PlanCheck out all my plans and resources HEREMy most popular plan: Get Your Body Back - Postpartum Plan - use code ATHLETE for a discountC-SECTION edition: Get your body back - use code ATHLETE for a discountFREE DOWNLOAD: Fix Your “Mommy Pooch”
