C.adenshae – the world market leader in Activewear for pregnant and nursing mothers – are on a mission to ensure that young mothers have the correct information when they return to sport after birth.

Daily exercise is one of the most important things people can do to keep themselves physically and mentally strong. This is especially true when a woman becomes a mother. Keeping the body moving is critical to the health of the mother and her baby.

Before building the global brand for mothers, founder of Cadenshae Nikki Clarke was a very popular personal trainer. Clarke became a mother four times during the development of the maternity business and has the expertise and expertise to coach women in this special and unique time of their lives.

Clarke says that many young mothers ask for advice at this time of year to exercise.

“With the influx of babies born around spring (in the southern hemisphere), many mothers in the new year begin to think about doing sports again and getting their bodies moving. It is a great pleasure for me to help them as it is very important that they receive the right advice after the birth of a child. You have to be careful and walk slowly. “

Here are Nikki Clarke’s top 10 tips for returning to postpartum training::

1. Never compare yourself to others. You are on a completely different journey than everyone else … with a different body, baby, pregnancy and birth history. The timeframes below are just an example. Some mothers start moving a few weeks after birth, others may take six months. There is no right or wrong. Do what feels right for you and your body.

2. Focus on healing and recovery first, not exercise.

3. Enjoy moving with less intensity after childbirth. Let your body exercise more easily, don’t push too early.

4. If you can, focus on your pelvic floor muscles, abdominal muscles, breathing and posture a few days after birth.

5. Concentrate on providing your body with nutritious food and staying well hydrated.

6. Between two and four weeks after birth, you may want to take a gentle walk, but no climbs, just something light and easy.

7. Add some squats, lunges, support presses, and pulls about six weeks after birth. If you want, you can go uphill now, but not more than an hour a day.

8. Eight to twelve weeks after birth, you should feel more (apart from sleep deprivation). If you are interested in weights, you can add them for interval training. Climbing stairs is also a good idea. Keep an eye on your baby every time you exercise. If you have problems, you may become too hard too soon and this may affect your care (if you are breastfeeding). In this case, reduce this a little.

9. After about three months, some mothers begin to move more freely and feel stronger and ready to increase intensity. For others, this can come after nine months. Remember you are doing you! Even walking five times a couple of times a week is better than nothing.

10. And of course you can’t do any exercises unless you have supportive, comfortable equipment. I recommend checking out Cadenshae for some medically recommended active clothing for every body type!
