"Getting back into physical shape is important to me. With great teaching techniques, helpful guidance and instruction, and great motivation mommy ready is helping me get there.
It's giving me my life back!"
Jennifer / 28 / 4 months postpartum
"I had thought that after 3 children I was stuck with the "mommy pooch" and would never be able to get back into shape or do simple things like jumping jacks without a little embarrassment. Going through this program has given me the guidance I needed to reactivate my core muscles and allow me to get back in shape so I can spend more time with my kids."
Lori / 33 / 3 years postpartum

Core Dysfunction:
70% of women experience persisting symptoms of core dysfunction after childbirth. Symptoms of Core Dysfunction include: weak abdominal muscles, recurring low back pain, Rectus Diastasis, pelvic pain, leaking urine with laughing, coughing, running or jumping, muscle tiredness, poor posture, and more.
When not resolved by 8 weeks postpartum, these symptoms persist at 1 year and 5 years later, unless the source of the dysfunction is identified and corrected through correct exercise technique and sometimes surgery (1).
