For the full program, workouts last around 30-75 minutes. There are options to shorten the workouts on days you are busy or low on energy. If you find that you normally have around an hour to workout, then the full length program is a great option! For the mini program, workouts last around 15-20 minutes. If you regularly have a limited amount of time to workout, the mini program is a great option for you.
- The full and mini program are delivered via the Teambuildr app. The workouts are delivered as a list of exercises with demo videos, but you workout at your own pace. This is a traditional workout delivery format. You may find the first week or so of doing the program takes a little longer as you learn our exercises. But once you are more familiar your workout length should decrease!

It’s never too late to rebuild after birth! We have clients who are years postpartum find tons of benefit from doing our programming. If you find you are still dealing with issues related to birth and pregnancy, joining this program is a great option! If you have already done a rehab program and don’t find that you have any lingering issues from pregnancy and birth, we recommend our after postpartum program: https://mamastefit.com/fitness-programs/after-postpartum-strength-training!
Also never too late! The first 18 months are optimal for recovery, so if you are past this timeframe it is still beneficial but you may find it takes longer to release scar tissue adhesions.
If you are experiencing any of the following, you may need to focus on mobilizing your scar:
- Pulling or tugging at your scar
- Low back pain
- Bladder issues, such as urgency or frequency
- Pain with deep vaginal penetration
- Sensitivity or numbness at or around your scar
- C-section shelf like appearance
This program includes 4 strength workouts per week. There are two lower body focused workouts and two upper body focused workouts.

- Thursday: Hip Thrust/Hinge and Lunges

Each workout includes pelvic stability exercises, pelvic floor relaxation and rehabilitation exercises. Every workouts starts with a breathing drill and core exercises to reconnect after birth, and ends with mobility.
Meet Your Coach
I’m the head coach and founder of MamasteFit, with a master’s degree in exercise science and a thesis focused on prenatal fitness to prepare for birth—so I’ve spent countless hours diving into the research on how movement impacts pregnancy, birth, and recovery. Beyond the textbooks, my years of working hands-on with in-person prenatal and postnatal clients have given me a deep, real-world understanding of how to support women through this transformative season. It’s this unique blend of science and practical experience that shapes everything I teach.
