Postpartum workouts taught by Dr. Shannon
Evlo Postpartum
Postpartum exercise is more than “getting back.” It’s a unique opportunity to reconnect with your body in a way you never have before.
Our 4-week program is designed to improve pelvic floor stability and strength, progressively load your core, and strengthen your entire body.
By the end of four weeks, you’ll be more connected to your body, feel stronger lifting your babies, move with more control, and be ready to keep building muscle.
You’ll have laid the foundation to not just get back to your pre-pregnancy self, but to get stronger than you’ve ever been.
Start when you’ve been cleared by your healthcare provider to exercise, typically at least 6 weeks after a vaginal delivery or at least 6-8 weeks after a C-section. If you’re still experiencing significant pain, bleeding, or heavy pelvic pressure, wait and seek medical advice before beginning.
Yes. Once you’ve been cleared by your healthcare provider to resume exercise—typically around 6 weeks postpartum for both vaginal and C-section births—this program is safe to begin. Dr. Shannon provides modifications for C-section births.
Most women experience some degree of diastasis recti (DR) during pregnancy due to stretching of the abdominal wall. Research shows that progressive core strengthening can help the two sides of the rectus abdominis work together again and may gradually narrow the gap over months.
No responsible 4-week program can promise to “close the gap,” but Evlo Postpartum focuses on deep-core activation and controlled loading to create the foundation you’ll need for long-term improvement, both in this program and when you transition back to regular Evlo workouts.
This program is not a substitute for pelvic floor physical therapy. If you’re experiencing symptoms such as heaviness, bulging, leaking, or pain, consult your OB-GYN or a pelvic floor physical therapist first.
That said, our classes include pelvic-floor-friendly progressions to help you reconnect to and gently strengthen these muscles while avoiding strain. This helps prepare you to return safely to heavier lifting and higher-impact exercise over time.
Exercise alone has a limited effect on fat loss. Nutrition plays the largest role. The Postpartum Program is designed to restore muscle and function, not to be a rapid weight-loss plan.
We include a postpartum-specific nutrition guide written by a Registered Dietitian to help you understand realistic calorie needs, especially if you’re breastfeeding.
Yes. This program is light-to-moderate intensity, and should not affect breast milk supply.
Yes! If you’ve had your healthcare provider’s clearance to return to exercise, this program is safe whether or not you’ve been a member before. We will all start with the foundations, and build upon them week by week.
Pause the movement and modify or skip that exercise. Those symptoms are signs that the load is too high for your current core or pelvic floor capacity. We provide modification tips throughout each class. Persistent symptoms should be evaluated by a pelvic floor PT or your OB-GYN.
Mild tenderness or numbness can be normal, but sharp pain, redness, swelling, or reopening of the incision requires medical attention. Our classes avoid excessive abdominal strain early on, but always progress at your comfort level and consult your provider if unsure.
Yes! The program will help you set foundational strength in your pelvic floor, core, and your entire body. It’s never too late to start.
