Prenatal Yoga Channels on YouTube to Hit Subscribe
We’re all aware of the crazy body changes that come with pregnancy, some of which are temporary while others are here to stay. Hooray for leggings, mom jeans, and sports bras, right?! We are also (painfully) aware of our culture’s expectation that our bodies will simply ‘bounce back’ after carrying a child for 9 months. So when the fourth trimester passes and our clothes are still squeezing us in all the wrong places, we’re left diving into a diet plan and wondering what gives.
It’s time to reframe the ‘bounce back’ phrase to a ‘build back’ message so we can take a more sustainable approach to postpartum health and fitness. I don’t believe in ‘getting your body back’ after having a baby, nor do I really want that body. I want a mom bod, one that is strong and fierce and can lug an awkward car seat and four bags of groceries into the house at once. I want to adventure and play and explore with my child for many many years.
We’re in it for the long game, mamas, not some bounce back B.S. If you’re with me, read on below for our 3 favorite mom-focused trainers on YouTube who have enough (FREE!) content to truly build that strong, beautiful mom bod.
