Description: Day 1 MomCORE

I’m not sure everything was firing much in some of the positions, but it felt good to complete the whole thing and feel that this program isn’t going to overwhelm me or confuse me to the point that I give up on myself. I can see myself easily sticking to it and finally making progress which really makes me happy!

Amanda

I keep finding myself a little discouraged by my 3 finger diastasis & weak pelvic floor but it’s SO ENCOURAGING to consistently hear you reminding that this isn’t going to change overnight and it’s ok if it doesn’t feel like its easy right off the bat.

Desiree

I’ve got work today, I couldn’t feel so much of what we just did 🤣

Ashley Flowers

I’m so glad to have found this program. Ive been needing help and I’ve finally found it!

Ashelley T

Steph

I knew I needed this but this made me realize how much I needed it! I’m so happy to be working toward a healthier me ❤️

Sarah

Wow!! Never have I been so aware of how little I actually breathe. This was hard work but my body felt so refreshed afterwards! Cannot wait to see my progress!

Shannon

I had such a hard time focus on my breathing, contracting the right muscles, and doing the movements at the same time. The reminders that it’s hard the first time were so reassuring. Notes about issues in the body, like tailbone pain and tucking the tailbone, were so eye opening to me! I related to so many of the issues in the body, so I have confidence that I’m in the right place to heal them.

Laura

I was procrastinating starting so much because I had tried another program and was just confused on if I was doing everything correctly and it just dragged because it wasn’t guided through. This experience was the complete opposite! I was so encouraged by the way you clearly explained every movement and repeatedly. It went by so fast and I felt like I was just hanging out with you!

Danielle

I had my three dogs and toddler running around me the whole time so I know on top of my general dysfunction that I didn’t have the best form, BUT I still understood what was being asked of my body and was able to engage accordingly 🥰

Bonita

I’m having a hard time taking big enough breaths to maintain an exhale during an entire move. Didn’t realize how shallow of a breather I am! Looking forward to seeing how that improves too.

Sandy

Love the workout! Easy to begin if you have been postpartum and barely starting to work out. It is amazing and very descriptive to know that you are engaging and mindful of the moves you are doing as well as listening to your body.

Isabel

Maybe show the exercise once before going ahead with counts and talk a bit slower. I was struggling to keep up :)

Shanna

Wow! That was just enough. I have severe physical limitations due to advanced RA disease and I’m postpartum with a very weak pelvic floor and this was helpful and I was able to do what I could with lightly modifying. It really exposed how much work I have to do to fix my floor but I’m excited to do it! Thank you Jesse!

Krystle

I love how slow and gentle this is, yet my abs are on fire! Love it! Also love your direction to drive the hips up. That made such a difference in what I was working!

Jenny

That felt so good! The workout was peaceful, but also refreshing and cathartic. It’s challenging me and to address years of bad habits with breathing and posture. Jesse, your instruction was perfect and I absolutely appreciated the coaching and encouragement all the way through!

Ericka

Baby asleep and I put my toddler on the couch with snacks while I did day 1- within 2 minutes toddler was up and wanting to work out with me! Exactly what this mom of an active child needs!

Justyn

Elsa

Thank you for going slow! Connecting all the pieces I never felt lost.  Day 1, done!

Lauren M.

Awesome! So excited to gain control of my body after 3 kids

Martina

So thankful to finally get started for the 21 day challenge! I can’t wait to reprogram my breathing. I’m defiantly clinching my butt and have super tight hamstrings. I couldn’t believe how small of a range of motion I have :(

Shyanne

I’m done with day 1!! My body feels so at peace and happy!

Kristen

Awesome first workout!! Definitely feeling it in my core 😆

Hannah

Loved the simple movements and how much my body was working!!

Great first day! It was slow and easy, and sometimes that’s what I need to ease back into things after a long holiday break 🤪

Goldie Johnson

Love the slower pace and talking. Other programs I have done talk so fast I can’t process what is being instructed. Which makes it hard to follow!

Nicole

My body looooved that workout. I was craving those stretches!

Drew Aungst

This was my very first workout! I found it moved a little bit too quickly for me but I am sure next time will be smoother for me.

Kamielle

That felt like the perfect start for me to get back into exercising postpartum.

Jacquelyn

My body feels great and warm after that. I'm going to repeat this one tonight now that I feel like I have a little more understanding and connection to my breath and PF. I'm excited to see what else the program has to offer!

Star

Can already feel the difference in the muscles engaged throughout this workout 🥰 so excited for the future!!

Wonderful to get started, shocked to realise how disconnected I’ve become after 2nd baby but excited to build that up again.

Samantha

Great first work out just working on engagement and awareness. Looking forward to tomorrow!

Victoria

It feels so good to be doing something structured again! Ive been consistently working out more and more since I had my baby but it's never felt structured enough to be productive. So happy to have this guidance!

Kijah

16 weeks pregnant and 19 months postpartum from my first. This workout was SO doable even though my pelvic floor and TVAs are weak right now.

Sara

Great. Trying to start the new year off with focusing on my health.

Jenna

Just completed my first at home workout with a toddler climbing on me and all! It’s a win win, I get a workout in while setting a good example for self care. Excited to make momcore a part of my routine💗

Emma

I have been putting off starting for 6 weeks (my baby just turned 12 weeks old) because i was afraid to begin and i always dread a workout. I was SO pleased to feel so restored afterwards! I’ve never been “athletic” so I never understood when people say they felt so good and like they did something for themselves after a workout and now I TOTALLY get it!!!! Thanks Jesse!!!

Shae

It was great and simple to start out with! But more than my body expected? I loved it though. Gave me great body awareness. My shoulders are very “grippy” and my back wanted to arch quite often. But I kept resetting and trying again.  This didn’t even feel like 30 minutes!

Emily

This was super helpful, informative, and relaxing! I could feel the muscles firing and feel the tension leaving. Loved it so much!!

Lianna

I finished a different pelvic floor program 2 weeks ago. I couldn’t for the life of me find the motivation to get started. So glad I forced myself to do it because I feel so much better after movement AND it makes me excited to keep going!

Sloane

I love how practical and function these movements are!

Whitney

Finally got to my first workout and it was so good! I loved that you spoke through each exercise. It really helped me to focus and get the movements right and the encouraging words along the way were my favourite - did not feel like half an hour at all. X

Asti

I am just starting and this first class was great. You are so helpful explaining the breath work!

It was a great first workout, really slow and relaxed, focused on breathing and engaging the core, it made me realize that my breathing pattern was completely wrong, but I was able to follow the exercises and consciously change it. Loved it!

Maja

I put off starting for so long.  After this workout I am so excited & motivated to continue. I can do this while my wild 2.5 year old needs my attention too!

Ashley

Felt so good, even with my littles interrupting. I was an Ab Rehab client at the beginning of the year and although it is a great program I can here because your workouts were my favorite and you have such a calming voice, happy I made the switch to your program.

Cristina

Finally got my equipment & so excited to start. Simple workout & felt good!

I. Loved. This. I typically struggle to slow down in my workouts, so I put off starting for a few weeks. I didn’t feel “bored” at all!

Heather

Cassidy

Equipment Needed
Loop band, block or ball to squeeze, wall access, (optional gliders for carpet)

Day 1 MomCORE

Needed this after feeling like I wasn’t “good enough” in the Day 1 workout. 💕

Gah! I just love this woman!! Jesse is so encouraging and uplifting! ❤️❤️

Here to cheer you ON!

I’m finding it really hard to engage the right muscles and do all the parts of the breathing. I don’t think I’m going it right, but at least I’m trying!

This is sadly my third postpartum rehab type program I’ve signed up for, but happily my first that I felt my TAs fire up for! Today was more challenging but it was nice to feel like I actually took a step toward healing ❤️

I feel like some of the demos move a little too fast and I am needing more time to get setup in positions I’m unfamiliar with.

Kathleen

Day 2 MomCORE

The “grab the floor with your heels and pull towards you” comment - wow! Game changer. I’ve done gluten bridges in my exercises for a while now and always struggled with form and lower back pain but that simple instruction changed everything! Super helpful. I don’t feel like im straining my back so much now.

Shaina

I love how supportive and excited she is the entire time. You can tell it’s a passion for her and she’s so encouraging.

Loved it! The hip flexor air during micro bridges was super helpful!

Day 3 MomCORE

Yes. A rest day is important. I can feel my muscles are a little sore, but I feel good! I'll be back at it tomorrow!

Rest days are so important. I didn't realize today was one Until I logged prepped to workout.

Day 4 MomCORE: Rest Day

Love love love this!!! The exercises seem way more efficient and effective than the last program I did! Love all your explanations through everything. Helps SO much!!! You are giving me faith that I will finally see the results I’ve been hoping for for 3 years!!!

Heidi

Cant believe how fast that went. Really feeling the abs today

It's still taking concentration, but my breathing connections are getting a little easier already.

Taylor Deans

Day 5 MomCORE

I love it, I’m just feeling ready to go harder. But I’m also 19 months pp but currently 10 weeks pregnant 😅 so I feel like I want to work harder right now before my mobility decreases due to my expanding stomach.

Faith

Im starting to feel more connection now. I actually feel more relaxed after doing these workouts

Day 6 MomCORE

I definitely feel a difference in everyday tasks. My core fires when I bend down to do daily chores, instead of putting all the pressure on my back.

I am 15days in the program. I love it. I think I can easily relax my pelvic floor now. It was so tight!!! I keep reminding myself many times during the day. My breathing needs more practice though. Sometimes it's hard to even read a book to my kids!! Singing is harder. I would love to hear your feedback on this. I am so happy I found this program 😊😊

Joanna

I’m so proud of myself for finishing my first week! I’m not going to lie, it wasn’t easy finding time with a crazy 22 month old, but I’m ready to continue. I haven’t noticed anything yet, but hope I do soon. I love the program, it’s just enough to handle!

Day 7 MomCORE: Rest Day

Slowly but surely getting stronger and getting the breathing right. PF still flickers on and off but loving how I can already feel an overall difference in my body

Love seeing my awareness and form increasing with repeated workouts - so much more aware of gripping etc throughout body.

Day 8 MomCORE

Loved this. Time flew by. Finally got to feel proper engagement in the glute bridges today. Still need more practice but..!Yay.

Day 9 MomCORE

Loved this one! I felt the burn in the best way.

This was amazing I was sweating! Thank you

Day 10 MomCORE

The first rest day that I've actually taken 🥰

Dealing with some intestinal issues, so I needed a rest day today. Love that I can modify the workouts to fit my schedule! And that I can add in some meditation when my stomach can’t handle the exercises!

Day 11 MomCORE: Rest Day

My diastisis is improving by the day! 🥰

I’ve never looked forward to a workout so much! Feeling strong and loving it 💗

i think its greats! i’m still just leery i am not engaging my pelvic floor properly, i just cant quiet get it- or maybe i am and i am second guessing it(!?). And I am anxious i’m doing the exercises wrong! but thats on me! program is great.

Dana

Day 12 MomCORE

I really enjoy these integrated exercises. Legs, core, and upper body without feeling like I'm torturing myself

Day 13 MomCORE

I had to take this today instead of Day 13 due to a horrible migraine.  I still moved though.  I was able to do 1 mile walk today.

Dottie

I switched this day and will do day 13 tomorrow. My mind and body just needed the break today! 🫶🏼

Day 14 MomCORE: Rest Day

How are you talking through this? I am deceased.

Carter

Oh my goodness! I was not expecting this type of workout (but in a good way). I loved the change 💪

Alma

I think I died lol my legs feel like they’re rubber and I could not pick up pelvic floor while moving my legs. Pretty sure I looked like a fish out of water flopping my legs around because I couldn’t hold pelvic floor and do circles at the same time. But I feel accomplished haha

Valerie

Day 15 MomCORE

Loved this workout! Those child’s pose “y” raises were so hard for me as I basically have zero shoulder mobility 😅 great thing for me to be working on!

Thoracic pull w band in bird dog position- wow!

Lauren Ganim

Only 16 days in and I'm already noticing better engagement with my core wanting to naturally fire up when doing workouts, also feeling much stronger in the areas that were weaker.

Madyson

Day 16 MomCORE

So great! Felt like a nice reset at the end of my day!

The challenge is almost over and I can't wait to do another 21 days

lindsey

Day 17 MomCORE

Started running again today for the first time in 4 years…my core/pelvic floor felt completely supported and no leaks!!

Day 18 MomCORE: Rest Day

It was hard but good I feel like I’m not doing the ball squeeze under a brace while laying on my side with the little leg lefts correct. I keep feeling like my core isn’t firing maybe?

This is the first workout where I finally was able to fully feel my entire pelvic floor move!! I think I’m finally doing something right

Jaclyn

Day 19 MomCORE

I skipped a few days and this was such a good one to come back to.

I tweaked my back this weekend doing yard work and really needed this upper body work today!

Willow

Day 20 MomCORE

I usually avoid working my upper body because of pain, but this felt really good and so helpful!

I tried to talk myself out of showing up today so many times, BUT I showed up!  I’m so glad I pushed through it.  🫶🏽

This one was great. I can feel my upper back on fire but love it!!!

Day 21 MomCORE

Really didn’t wanna workout today but so glad I did. Really worked the booty.

I didn’t think it would be possible so fast, but I am feeling muscles under my mom squish. I was like jello and now I can feel hard muscle making an appearance.

Love it stronger each day and becoming more connected

Day 22 MomCORE

Alexandra

My legs are closer to a 90 degree angle compared to when I first started this workout routine! I might use the next level band for the rows too! I love measuring progress that way; I hardly check the scale 💪🏻

Elizabeth

Day 23 MomCORE

Sweating and feeling the burn! Love this workout!

Jill Harding

Georgina

Great workout to ease back into it after being sick. Feeling good!  And booty is on fire lol

Erika

Day 24 MomCORE

Day 25 MomCORE: Rest Day

Wow my lower core and PF were done at the end of this workout. Feels so good. Making those little connections day by day.

My body was really needing this today, my shoulders and chest felt so tight and I feel so much better now 🙌🏻

Day 26 MomCORE

For the wall sits legs are almost at a 90 degree angle!! That’s the type of progress I love love love seeing!!

Day 27 MomCORE

Day 28 MomCORE: Rest Day

I absolutely love that it is a new workout!!!!!!!!  It was definitely elevated too. ❤️
