Rest or Recovery? Choosing the Right Postpartum Exercise Routine with Lindsay McCoy of One Strong Mama
Jan 15, 2021 Season 2 Episode 32
Annie Hopkins, Lindsay McCoy

The first 3 months after childbirth are a tricky time (understatement of the year, I know). You want to feel fit and strong again, but are also immensely tired. Your body is sore, squishy, stinky, sweaty... you feel anything but sexy. You hear conflicting advice - should I rest? Exercise more? What's the best, fastest, safest way to feel at home in my body again? Who can I trust to guide me?

Enter Lindsay McCoy.

Lindsay is a busy mom of 4, dog owner, wife, birth doula, personal trainer, and co-founder of One Strong Mama, an online pre and post-natal exercise program.

Lindsay has a classic story of having her first child only to realize there is so much wrong with the way women are prepared and set up for the birth of a child. 

She knew that the system was broken and she knew that she needed to change that.

By her second child, she was able to prepare herself better for a much better experience. 

Lindsay understood that it wasn’t realistic for a postpartum mom to go back to running 5+ miles a day, or back to CrossFit training just 6 weeks after birth. 

Between not knowing whether to rest or to exercise, our system sets us up for failure. Thus, Lindsay and her co-founder Lauren Ohayon created One Strong Mama.

OSM is a very educational-based program that helps pre and postnatal women start small movements that will gradually lead them to their fitness goals, all in due time. 

She focuses on avoiding fear-based language and setting up the foundation of knowledge, so every woman can make the choice that fits their body and lifestyle needs.
