Athletic mamas WANTED to pilot new postpartum program

 

I'm so excited to be launching the pilot of my postpartum program. Looking for my 10 special ladies to take part. Is it you, or someone you know?

Athletic Mamas!

Are you between the ages of 28-42 and have had a baby in December or January, or are expecting to hatch in February 2020?

I’m Kat Suchet, mum to 6 month old Ralph, physiotherapist, CrossFit athlete, coach, author of pregnancy and postpartum blog https://katsuchet.blogspot.com/. The blog is about supporting pregnant and postpartum women who do high intensity functional training. I’m also in the piloting stages of a new postpartum training program for athletic mums. If this resonates with you, please read on.  

I’m looking for 10 athletic pregnant females, between ages of 28-42, who have had their babies in December or January or are expecting their babies in February 2020. My piloting ladies need to have had an ‘athletic' level of fitness prior to becoming pregnant and will be up for the challenge in embracing the program and complete it in real time, pick it apart with a tooth comb (or not), offer feedback as we go, and respond to some emails and some questionnaires. I’ll also be looking for 4-5 of these to do a video testimonial for the website, if you a) enjoy the program and b) are happy to help me promote it!

What does ‘athletic’ mean? The program is designed for women who had a good level of fitness prior to becoming pregnant, are used to working out between 4-6 times a week, and mostly at high intensity. Your workouts included lifting dumbbells, kettlebells and barbells, and you will also have some experience of bar-hanging movements such as pull ups (even if that means banded pull-ups). The program is best suited to ladies who do CrossFit or a similar-style of workout. 

What’s in it for you? A comprehensive and engaging 12 week postpartum exercise program written by a physiotherapist, CrossFit coach, athlete and mum - all for free. I’ve spent a long time researching from the very best minds out there. It’s safe, comprehensive and is the first program of it’s kind to contain 4 very necessary elements for every day you train: engage, core, strength and reward. The program begins from around 6 weeks postpartum (with GP and pelvic floor physio clearance) and it also contains some early postpartum movement and pelvic floor advice. It closely reflects the work I did when I was rehabbing after my baby, is packed full of the movement patterns necessary to improve pelvic floor control and diastasis, whilst also including extra elements in there to keep athletic minds engaged.

Delivery of the pilot program will be via an app called True Coach, which is a free app you can download - it’s very intuitive and there will be video demonstrations of most movements (where we can). You’ll also have me on hand throughout the program. The intention is to rehab the body mindfully and carefully, whilst taking into consideration we are a demographic of females that are familiar with some more highly skilled movements. By completion of the program it is my intention that most of the women completing the program will feel confident to start taking part in scaled CrossFit or similar classes again.

Piloting will run between now and June 2020. As this is a pilot stage of the program, there is no clever branding or website yet and the video functionality is stock imagery. As and when the website is complete and the final product is launched (estimated towards the end of 2020), you of course will receive complementary lifetime membership access to the site and all up-capped digital content. 

What do you think? Up for the challenge? Ping me an email to see if it’s a fit and let’s get started. 

Thanks so much for sparing the time. Looking forward to hearing from you. 

Best wishes,
Kat Suchet

Mind the Gap - A Bit on Diastasis Recti

Diastasis Recti Abdominus. Such a buzz phrase these days in pregnancy and post-partum. It hovered around throughout pregnancy like a bad smell. Like it was something to be careful not to get, like a disease or an injury. I thought it was about time to look into the up to date information about this 'condition' and put down some of the common sense take-homes I've learnt. Because really I'd say there is a lot of fear-mongering around diastasis, or DRA, and it doesn't need to be like that. What is a diastasis?  Diastasis originated from the latin word for separation. Essentially the abdominals separate to make way for your growing baby. They separate along a line of connective tissue called the linea alba. The abdominals don't split, they move apart, and the linea alba widens and becomes stretched somewhat, but it doesn't tear open. Sounds grim but it's really a very natural and painless thing the body does in order to accommodate a whole human ins...

Pelvic Floor 101

Fact: It is unbelievably common for females to have pelvic floor dysfunction prior to ever being pregnant.  Fact: Pelvic floor dysfunction is MORE common in the female athlete  Fact: Post being pregnant, athletic or not, it’s a 75% possibility. That's 3 in 4 women. That’s huge. This is why I want to talk about pelvic floor dysfunction, whether you’re pregnant or not. It’s a socially challenging topic and we don’t talk about this enough. If at all. Regardless of what anyone says, research shows sport and fatigue does put you at an increase risk of pelvic floor injury. So if 3 in 4 reproductive women of any athletic background will have this issue at some stage in their life, what percentage does that mean for those of us who do high intensity sport?  Here’s a fact that applies to our demographic: 70% of women who exercise with intensity regularly – yes a whopping 70% – have an altered menstrual cycle. And before you roll your eyes and count yourself out of t...
