My strength routines are designed to take 20 to 30 minutes, using just a yoga mat and light dumbbells. We prioritize healing, especially if you are dealing with C-section recovery or diastasis recti, so you can feel stable and strong again without the pressure of typical gym culture. ### Building Strength That Lasts Motherhood is physically demanding, but most fitness advice ignores the reality of your day-to-day. My approach isn't about 'bouncing back' in weeks. It is about *karnesehoga* (it will happen if you do it). We start with the foundation: your core and pelvic floor. If you have been told that you cannot train after delivery, we start by proving otherwise with gentle glute bridges and breathing work. The goal is to move from recovery to real-life strength that helps you lift your baby, carry the groceries, and get through the day without back pain. ### What Our Sessions Look Like * **Phase 1: Connect & Heal:** We focus on core engagement and posture correction. This is where we safely work on diastasis recti healing. * **Phase 2: Functional Stability:** We integrate bodyweight movements that mimic the demands of parenting, fixing your balance and stability. * **Phase 3: Progressive Strength:** We introduce light weights to build density and lean muscle, helping to regulate your energy levels and mood. ### Frequently Asked Questions **Do I need a gym membership?** No. Everything is designed for home. All you need is a yoga mat and basic dumbbells. **What if I had a C-section?** That is exactly why we prioritize core recovery and pelvic floor rehab first. We do a digital assessment of your recovery status before assigning any movement. **Can I still do this if I am breastfeeding?** Yes. Our nutrition plans are modified to be lactation-friendly. We ensure you are eating enough to support your baby while feeling energized yourself. No starvation diets, just real food. **How much time will this take?** Your routine is set to fit your schedule. We stick to 20-30 minute workouts because consistency matters more than intensity. This is a process, not a quick fix. ## About Punam Prasad I am Punam.
