60. 4 Mistakes New Moms Make When Returning to Exercise (And What to Do Instead)
Excited to get back to workouts after having a baby? We love the energy — but there’s a right way to return to movement postpartum… and a few common mistakes to avoid. In this episode of The Vibrantly You® Podcast, Megan shares the four biggest missteps she sees new moms make when returning to exercise — and what to do instead to protect your pelvic floor, rebuild strength, and feel empowered in your healing journey.
As a certified postpartum fitness coach, Megan explains why rushing into walking, skipping breathwork, or jumping into pre-baby workouts too quickly can actually set you back. Instead, you’ll learn how to take a strategic approach to postpartum movement that supports core rehab, pelvic floor healing, and long-term strength.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✔️ Why walking too soon (or too far) can put stress on your healing tissues
✔️ The importance of breathwork and rib expansion for core recovery
✔️ Why 6-week clearance doesn’t mean “go back to your old routine”
✔️ When it’s safe to return to running—and what needs to happen first
✔️ How to avoid injury and build real strength
Whether you’re newly postpartum or months into recovery, this episode will help you approach fitness with confidence, clarity, and support.
