Core & Restore
This 12-week program is designed for women who no longer consider themselves postpartum and have returned to exercise, but are still experiencing some lingering core or pelvic floor issues months or years after pregnancy and want to improve their breathing, core engagement, posture and strength.

Program Overview
You have 3-6 weekly sessions in Core & Restore, designed to help with issues such as back pain, core weakness, pelvic floor dysfunction, abdominal bulging, diastasis recti or a lack of mind-muscle connection.
All sessions can be completed in 40 minutes or less, many sessions are optional, and a new training focus theme is introduced every three weeks. The first six weeks focus on breathwork, posture, pelvic floor correction techniques, core engagement, bodyweight glute exercises to strengthen your posterior chain, and some barre exercises too!
The second six weeks focus on building strength with dumbbells and resistance bands, with each session designed for you to try harder exercises and heavier weights to prepare you to start another Sweat program with confidence.
Britany has included a range of techniques and training styles to teach you proper breathing, core engagement, posture alignment and muscular strength, with the aim of getting you to feel your best in the workouts you love.
