Hey there! Baby watch continues… unless this email is outdated by now, fingers crossed! I leave tomorrow to head to Disney to do the Goofy Challenge (a half marathon followed by a marathon the next day) that Roxanne and I were supposed to train for and run together. Alas, smut novels were a part of Roxanne’s 35+ books read in 2025… so this may be the first birth that we miss of each other’s.

Luckily, we have an amazing support team in place for Roxanne, but I would still love to be there too. So, if this is not an outdated email, don’t tell Roxanne, but I need you all to will the universe to hold that baby in until she is 41+ weeks.

There is still time to enter your guesses for when she will give birth (date and time) and how much baby boy will weigh! If you already guessed and your date has passed, feel free to guess again!

30-Minute Pelvic Floor Reset (And Strengthen) Workout

The first workout of the year is a pelvic floor focused workout! Every Tuesday, we release a new workout on our YouTube channel, so be sure to subscribe to get notified when new long-form educational content goes live. We hit 35k subscribers this past year, and I have set a goal of reaching over 100k on YouTube in 2026!

​

In this workout, I guide you through three focuses. The first is releasing the pelvic floor with targeted mobility. The entire pelvic floor is not tight, just like the entire pelvic floor is not weak. There may be portions that are overactive due to common postural tendencies and others that are underactive.

Common pelvic floor patterns include:

• Right Side:
  • The right anterior pelvic floor is often overactive. This hip tends to favor internal rotation with adduction and a posterior pelvic tilt. This usually means the right quad and glute are weaker compared to the left.
    • Helpful focuses can include lateral hip shifts and adductor releases on the right, feeling a groin or inner thigh stretch on that side, paired with quad and glute strengthening on the right with an emphasis on external rotation and abduction.
• Left Side:
  • The left posterior pelvic floor is often overactive. This hip tends to favor external rotation with abduction and an anterior pelvic tilt. This usually means the left inner thigh and hamstring are weaker compared to the right.
    • Helpful focuses can include hip shifts and deep glute releases on the left, paired with hamstring and adductor strengthening on the left with an emphasis on internal rotation.

This workout includes mobility that targets these releases on each side, then progresses through two strengthening sections that use this asymmetrical approach to help restore pelvic floor balance.

We also include a significant amount of pelvic floor work in our fitness programs, including the new cycle of our Beyond Postpartum Strength program that just released this week. You can grab a free 7-day trial to our Beyond Postpartum program.​

“I cannot believe how good I feel after completing the MamasteFit postpartum program. At 10 weeks postpartum, my pelvic floor therapist could not believe how strong I was. I have a strong but also relaxed pelvic floor, my core feels solid, and my diastasis recti was already healed. This course respects your healing body while still challenging you, and the workouts build each week so you can feel yourself getting stronger. The follow along videos are a game changer. These programs are not all created equal. I highly recommend the MamasteFit prenatal and postnatal programs. You will not regret spending this money on yourself. It will literally change your life.” Elise, Postpartum Fitness Client

12-Minute Advanced Core Workout

In addition to our pelvic floor workout, we also released an advanced core workout on our YouTube channel! This workout takes traditional deep core exercises, such as the dead bug and bird dog, and increases the challenge a bit more.

​

You can grab all six of our new advanced core workouts in this free guide! The next five workouts will be released on our YouTube channel over the next few months, but you can access and do ​them all now with our new guide.​​

If you don’t feel ready for the advanced core workouts, we also have our postpartum core workout program with six core workouts and follow along videos available here! These workouts are included in our postpartum fitness programs and are used as the daily warm up.​

Well, hopefully this email is outdated and Roxanne is in labor. Thanks for trusting us to support your journey!
