Everyone wants to hold the baby, but who holds the mother?​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ October 10th is World Mental Health Day and we're committed to supporting YOUR mental health, Mama. Accord-8 for 24/7 service via @988lifeline's toll-free hotline and talk to someone at the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. ❤️ing to our friends at @mmhla2, maternal mental health conditions affect 1 in 5 women and suicide and overdoses are the leading causes of death in the first year postpartum. The good news from all of this? You don't have to struggle alone! At @fit4momphilly, we provide a supportive community where you feel loved, valued, and honored. You're worth it, Mama.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Tag a mama friend in the comments below and remind her what it is that you love about her! P.S. If you are ever feeling uneasy, unsure, or in emotional distress, dial 9-8. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #FIT4MOM #f4m #strengthinmotherhood #communityinmotherhood #allthemoms #mamamagic #motherhoodsisterhood #f4mprograms #workoutformoms #HIITworkouts #mindbodyconnection #strollerworkout #mommyandmeworkout #strollerstrides #maternalmentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #worldmentalhealthday

So Long Sweet Summer!

When is the last time you laughed during a workout?! It’s the best feeling to get out of the house, get moving, meet other local moms, and LAUGH while you’re moving your body, all while setting the best example for these kids. We loved our water play days this summer! It’s been the biggest joy to spend this season of life with you and your littles! 😎☀️👯‍♀️💦 Did you miss our fall newsletter that was emailed out last week with all our fun September events?

We ❤️ Our FIT4BABY Prenatal Class!

Our signature prenatal, resistance training class, FIT4BABY, helps prepare the body for the journey of labor and postpartum recovery. FIT4BABY is in-person this weekend at Fairmount Waterworks at 9:00AM and every Wednesday, virtually, at 6:30PM. Head to the schedule on our website to sign up! Questions? Need help signing up?

Rebuilding Postpartum Burpees 💪

TGIF! Form Friday that is! 💪 When approaching burpees postpartum, these are some of our favorite tips. 1️⃣ Start with a modified burpee, isolating the bottom “half” of the move, with a focus on coming to the top of a squat with a ‘proud’ chest, rolling those shoulders away from your ears. 2️⃣ Step in and out, as opposed to jumping, to reduce the impact on your pelvic floor. 3️⃣ Add elevation (we love that most of our classes are outside for easy bench access!) when you can to reduce the intraabdominal pressure to manage. Same goes for rebuilding plank and push-up form! It makes us so happy as coaches when we see our mamas taking the modifications they need in classes and listening to their bodies and respecting where they’re at in their own postpartum recoveries. We’re all in this postpartum boat together, whether you’re six months out or six years out. You got this mama! 👏 Be sure to catch the burpee queen @klrupich coaching her next class this Tuesday morning virtually at 6:30AM with the loyal morning crew! 💪
