In this episode of the podcast, we hear from Chandra and Maddie, the founders of Fitness Interrupted. They share their personal experiences with postpartum health issues and how these struggles inspired them to create a company that simplifies fitness for busy mothers. 

Chandra and Maddie discuss the challenges they faced in regaining core strength and mobility after having children, and how they realized that postpartum physical therapy can be expensive and hard to access. To bridge this gap, they decided to get certified in prenatal and postnatal fitness training and created Fitness Interrupted.

One of the key focuses of their training is performing thorough assessments on postpartum clients. They look at factors such as thoracic mobility, hip rotation, breathing, and core engagement. By emphasizing functional movements and providing modifications as needed, Sandra and Maddie ensure that their clients can safely return to exercise.

The founders also emphasize that the typical "6-week clearance" for postpartum recovery is often not enough. Many mothers feel that they are not ready to engage in heavy exercise until their child is over a year old due to the demands of motherhood. To make exercise more accessible, Fitness Interrupted has created the 10-Minute Fitness Challenge, which offers short, simple workouts that can be done anywhere in a short amount of time.

Chandra and Maddie also stress the importance of goal-setting for postpartum clients. They help reduce the fear of movement by finding a woman's current functional limits and avoiding pushing past discomfort. Through their programs, they aim to rebuild exercise habits and confidence through consistency over perfection.

Overall, Fitness Interrupted takes a holistic approach to postpartum fitness training. Their mission is to make quality programs and guidance accessible to support mothers' wellness journeys after childbirth. This episode provides valuable insights and actionable tips for any mother looking to prioritize her own health and fitness.
