Episode Description from the Publisher

Postpartum fitness can feel confusing when you are trying to heal, feed a baby, sleep when you can, and somehow feel like yourself again. You may be wondering what workouts make sense, how often you should move, what to do with nutrition, how breastfeeding affects progress, and how to stay patient when the scale is not moving. In this episode of Embrace Your Real, we are continuing the postpartum fitness Q&A to answer the questions so many new moms are quietly asking. We are talking workouts, macros, breastfeeding, finding time with a newborn, and rebuilding strength without rushing or punishing your body. If you have not listened to Part 1 yet, go back and listen after this episode because together, these two episodes give you the full picture of what helped me navigate postpartum fitness in a way that felt supportive, realistic, and sustainable. What's Discussed: What workouts I did postpartum and whether they were intense or low impact How I made workouts happen with a newborn and an unpredictable schedule What my nutrition looked like and when I started counting macros again How breastfeeding affected my postpartum fitness journey How I stayed patient when the scale was not moving as fast as I wanted The Movement With Julie app made it so much easier to stay consistent postpartum, even when my schedule felt all over the place.
