Are you frustrated every time you zip up those jeans - again - and the button just doesn’t shut? Are you searching for the energy to work out, but each day feels like an uphill battle? Do you crave those sweet compliments from your husband, like “babe, you’re looking amazing”? I’m so excited you’re here, mama!

Through easy, simple, and safe workouts that you can do from home, you’ll gain confidence, boost your energy to play with your baby more, and feel incredible slipping into that favorite dress you haven’t worn since your honeymoon. Hey, I’m Jena - a physical therapist, wife and mama of four. After each of my pregnancies I, too, struggled with losing my postpartum pooch, low energy levels and didn’t know how to regain my strength back. As a fitness lover, I craved working out like I did before having all those babies, but found that my body just wasn’t cut out for high-intensity workouts. And without having healed fully from pregnancy, I was an injury waiting to happen. I finally realized in order to fix my mommy tummy and repair my core strength I needed to go back to the basics of my physical therapy training and work on my inner core muscles first. It all starts with the core! It’s the foundation. Over 6 years and 4 kids, I created a postpartum workout program that is simple, safe and effective using a step-by-step plan that enables you to restore your core strength and energy while getting rid of the postpartum pooch. I can’t wait to share it with you - because if I can do it four times, I know you can, too!

Is that postpartum belly wrap actually doing anything… or is it just making you sweat?
If you’ve been wondering whether wearing a belly wrap after baby actually helps with healing your core—or if it’s just another trend—this episode is for you. I’m breaking down the real reason to wear a wrap (it’s not to shrink your waist!), who should use one, who probably shouldn’t, and how to make it actually work for you.
PLUS, I’m sharing a super simple daily rhythm you can follow to boost your core healing in just a few minutes a day—because you don’t have time for complicated.
If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and wondered if your stomach will ever go back to normal… this episode will give you so much clarity and hope.
Keep Smiling,
Jena
