5 Reasons Every Postpartum Mom Should Spend Time on Deep Core Work

Mama, let’s be real— your core has been through a lot. It stretched, shifted, and carried life for nine months (or more if you’ve done it multiple times!). After birth, it’s easy to want to jump right back into workouts or just power through the busy mom-life. But here’s the truth: taking time to rebuild your deep core isn’t just about exercise— it’s about feeling strong, confident, and supported in everything you do.

Here are 5 reasons why your deep core deserves some extra love:

1. It helps you feel “put back together.”

That wobbly, disconnected feeling you get when you sit up, sneeze, or bend over? Deep core work helps restore that inner stability so you feel supported from the inside out.

2. It reduces daily aches and pains.

Lugging a car seat, nursing in awkward positions, rocking a baby to sleep—mom life is basically a workout. A strong deep core helps protect your back, hips, and pelvis so those everyday moves don’t leave you achy.

3. It supports your pelvic floor.

Your deep core and pelvic floor are teammates. When you strengthen one, you support the other—helping with things like leaking, heaviness, and overall confidence.

4. It makes every other workout feel better.

When your deep core is activated, squats feel stronger, planks feel more doable, and even running feels more supported. It’s like upgrading your body’s foundation.

5. It’s an act of self-care that pays off daily.

This isn’t about “getting your body back”—it’s about giving your body the strength and stability it deserves after everything it’s done for you and your baby. It’s one of the most loving things you can do for yourself.
