When Your Core Work Doesn't Work Your Core

October 9, 2023

You might be shocked to hear this, but--what you look like actually kind of matters.

(Let me just say I love dropping bombs like this because I just know someone SOMEWHERE is gonna get their panties in a bunch thinking Sarah’s saying we need to be appearance-obsessed.)


Here’s what I’m actually saying…


Let’s say you had a baby 4 years ago. You had a little tummy before, but then after that baby, you officially have A Tummy.


2 years later, you have another baby. That tummy’s not going anywhere.


You’re about to give birth again, and you already know how this story ends:


Mommy. Tummy.


And while you don’t like it, you’ve just kind of come to accept that it’s here to stay.


Because that’s the sacrifice we make for our kids, right?


WRONG.


I’m not saying having a tummy is bad. And there could be so many reasons for that extra layer of warmth around your middle.


If you’re like me, you’re eating more mac and cheese and Teddy Grahams than ever in your life.


Working out is a lot more “fit it in when I can” than “my outlet and designated ME TIME.”


So putting on a few extra pounds makes sense.


But are you also ignoring that stubborn low back pain that’s been around for…4 years at this point?


Or what about the fact that even when you do do your core workouts, it’s like nothing changes? What is even the point?!


Let me let you in on a little secret. That “mommy tummy” that you’ve been trying not to think about might actually be a sign of something happening inside your body.


And it’s something we can work together to fix.


(Yes, fix, because it is a problem. How you look is not necessarily a problem, but how you look might be cluing us in to a problem happening beneath the surface. See what I’m saying?)


This is why the Mama Core workshop exists, because, listen—you deserve more.


You deserve more than just resigning yourself to this new “mom bod.”

You deserve more than a body that doesn’t work optimally.

You deserve more than thinking part of the sacrifice of motherhood is hating how you look.


You deserve more. You deserve this.
