Program Overview

If you’ve recently given birth and are interested in trying Post-Pregnancy with Kayla, it’s essential you receive clearance from your healthcare provider before you begin.

Post-Pregnancy with Kayla is a 16-week program using minimal equipment, making it perfect for home or gym, including four foundational weeks designed for women who have had a caesarean delivery, are experiencing weak pelvic floor symptoms or other post-birth complications.

Each week, you have 2-3 workouts that will take you 15-25 minutes, as well as low-intensity cardio and recovery sessions, but we encourage you to listen to your body and only complete what you feel up to. Throughout the program, the focus resistance sessions include:

Lower Body and Core
Upper Body and Core
Full Body (optional)

Each workout starts with mobility exercises to warm up, followed by lap-based circuits that you can complete at your own pace, focusing on maintaining correct form as you rebuild strength.

There are also optional low-intensity posture sessions to help relieve tension in the body, which take 10-15 minutes and focus on foam rolling, stretching and strengthening. These include:
