A guide on how to incorporate the videos over 16 weeks:

Week 3: Session 3 & 4

Week 4: Repeat session 3 & 4

​

And so on, until all the workouts are complete. That way you'll really find your strength and fitness increasing. The workouts should once isn't enough as we're building strength from the inside out post-birth & this takes repetition.

Before working out, it is recommended to be mindful of your energy levels and how much sleep you’ve had. If you are really fatigued, then maybe a full workout is not what your body needs, in which case, the Slow Flow video would be perfect. In addition you could try one of the the warm up sections from any of the full length sessions as they include stability and remedial work that is mat-based and low intensity.

Sometimes, despite being fatigued, it may feel fantastic to work really hard and sweat and this may provide you with renewed energy. In this case, go for it! The videos can be paused at any time, it is important you work to your body’s needs to give you the most beneficial workout for YOU on each particular day.

All workouts are designed to do at home with minimal equipment and space. You will need:

• An exercise mat

• A 2m long resistance band - go for strong resistance when purchasing, or start on a medium resistance and increase as you work through the videos.

• A short circular looped resistance band - go for strong or very strong resistance.

You will notice there’s no soundtrack playing in the background of the Mamawell Method. We’re all different, and musical choice is so personal, so we decided to let you choose your own. Depending on mood, energy levels or how much sleep you’ve had, your music choice will differ day to day. Some people love to listen to podcasts, some the radio. And sometimes you may just want a bit of peace and quiet with no music at all.
