Happy Monday! Hope you all get to move today! My current workout schedule for the week consists of cardio and core/pelvic floor work on MWF and total body strength training on TTHS.

Today I did 25 minutes of incline walking on the treadmill. I warm up with some banded leg work before I do cardio because I feel better that way. Increased my incline gradually over the 25 minutes. Six is the highest I’ve done post surgery but hoping to keep increasing that as I get stronger.

Fat burning begins after 11 minutes of continuous movement so if fat burning is your goal with cardio just be aware of that. I definitely have my fair share of fat burning to do but cardio also helps strengthen my legs and glutes. As you’ve probably noticed by now I’m a big fan of strong!

Just a final share. I listened to a podcast this morning with Real Talk with the Pelvic Docs and Sarah Brown, a Personal Thought coach. It was so helpful! The bite of encouragement I came away with is to become a champion at starting over. I love that. I’m gonna be that. Every dang day!

I'm a personal trainer who started this blog to document my journey back into weight lifting after pelvic organ prolapse surgery. Hoping it might be helpful to others who've also had this surgery and can't find real information on how to return to the gym safely.
