When can you start running again after having a baby? And how do you know if your body is actually ready?
In this episode, Amber talks about how to safely return to running postpartum and why getting cleared at your six-week appointment doesn't necessarily mean you're ready to run.
She walks through the steps of rebuilding strength after birth, starting with breathwork and walking, then progressing to strength training, plyometrics, and running intervals.
She also explains what to look for before adding impact and why it's important to pay attention to symptoms like leaking, pelvic heaviness, and pain.

The takeaway: You don't have to rush back into running. Take the time to rebuild your strength, pay attention to how your body feels, and make sure you're ready before adding impact.
