Do you struggle with exercise after babies?  Are you wondering how you can possibly find the time to workout around your kids schedules?  There are actually a lot of mental hurdles to overcome when it comes to exercising, especially postpartum.  BUT there are also so many benefits to regular movement and exercise including mental clarity and emotional stability.  Join me in this conversation with Mandi Kelso where we talk all about the mindsets that moms struggle with most when it comes to exercise as well as practical takeaways for how to get started or keep motivated to incorporate regular movement into your routines.    Mandi Kelso works as a health coach and postpartum exercise specialist, where she’s passionate about helping moms find the confidence in the way they look and feel after having kids and she works with moms on finding their happiest, healthiest, strongest selves in all areas She is also mama to 2 amazing boys delivered via c-section, and one angel brother keeping watch. She has a history of pelvic floor dysfunction such as pain in pregnancy, diastasis recti, pelvic organ prolapse, painful intimacy, bladder leaking, back/hip pain. She has 17 years of clinical experience with physical therapy, with the last 8 focusing on women's health and pelvic floor dysfunction.  Mandi is the owner of Aspire Women's Health, concierge physical therapy offering in home and virtual care and creator of M.A.M.A. Strong, a virtual 16-week program that helps moms feel confident in their body after babies, improve pelvic floor strength and mobility, and have energy and patience with their families.   Connect with Mandi:  Instagram: mandi_kelso Email: [email protected] Free Guide to Pelvic Floor 101 My prayer is that you are blessed and encouraged through this conversation as you continue forward in living healthy and empowered by the power of God and for His glory!  In Joy,Lauren    P.S.  HAVE YOU ENTERED THE GIVEAWAY YET?!?!
