This is a 16-week postnatal strength and conditioning plan for moms who have had either a natural birth or c-section, with a full-body fat loss focus and core redevelopment.This plan honors breath mechanics, pelvic floor safety, gradual load progression, and structural balance.
Guidelines:
Train 3–4x/week, non-consecutive days.
Monitor for coning/doming, urinary leaks, or pelvic heaviness – regress if seen.
Begin each session with 1–2 minutes of deep diaphragmatic breathing.
Strength RPE target: Weeks 1–4: RPE 4–5, Weeks 5–8: RPE 5–6, Weeks 9–12: RPE 6–7, Weeks 13–16: RPE 7–8.
Nutrition and sleep must support recovery and fat loss.
