Purchase Program

When can I start the program?

Everyone recovers from childbirth differently, no two mums are alike. It is so important for your physical and mental wellbeing to return to exercise slowly and steadily. Even if you exercised prior to, and during pregnancy, your physical recovery from childbirth can be unpredictable. It’s so important to listen to your body, go at your own pace and be aware of your limits.

Make sure you have clearance from your women’s health physio, doctor, midwife or maternal health nurse at your 6-week checkup before commencing any exercise program. It’s also important to only do SAFE abdominal exercises, appropriate to the postnatal stage you’re in. If you do strong abdominal exercises (like crunches) too soon, it can take longer for your belly to become flat, as you will keep stretching the recovering muscles before they are able to handle the tension.

Is this program suitable for me?

Once you have been cleared by a healthcare professional and feel comfortable with regular walking you can commence this program. It’s suitable for beginners and intermediate/advanced levels of Pilates or fitness-lovers. The program is specifically designed to cater for all stages of postpartum so you can feel confident in the knowledge that everything you’re doing is safe.

You can definitely improve the strength of the pelvic floor post pregnancy with specialised pelvic floor exercises. Your pelvic floor is just like any other muscle in your body so needs daily “training” to work effectively and efficiently.

Just because your GP may give you clearance at 6-8 weeks post birth, does not mean you have fully healed which is why seeing a Women’s Health Physio is so important! Many women do not realise this and return too quickly to strenuous exercise post birth, that can trigger incontinence or a prolapse so please educate yourself, rehab before your retain if required.

 

We recommend you consult your Doctor or Medical professional prior to returning to exercise. Generally speaking after 6 weeks for a vaginal delivery and 8 weeks for c-section. However we recommend booking in to see a Women’s Health Physio for a full assessment.

BUBACISE: A full-body, balanced Pilates workout on the mat with your bub.

PRAMACISE: A full-body, balanced Pilates workout incorporating the pram and bub.

PROGRESSIVE PILATES: A more challenging Pilates workout to realign and reconnect your body, focusing on improving muscle tone and balance.

CARDIO & CORE: A low impact, energising cardio class to improve cardiovascular fitness and heart health.

TONE: A strength class using dumbbells to rebuild muscle and tighten up the body

It’s a one-time payment of $167 and gives you lifetime access to the program to repeat as many times as you like.

VIVA has been working with clients in all different stages of postpartm for years! We’ve been helping women to regain confidence in their body as well as ensuring that they return to exercise safely and we’re proud to finally be able to bring this wealth of knowledge and experience online.

Pilates is an exercise methodology that was created by Joseph Pilates over 100 years ago. Pilates was initially used as a tool to rehabilitate soldiers who had been injured in wartime but is now more commonly practiced for it’s physical fitness benefits including long, lean lengthened (not bulky) muscles building and its ability to strengthen the core to ensure spinal health.
