Description: Day 7 MomCORE: Rest Day

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.

Shanna

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!

Krystle

I’m really enjoying MomCore so far! I love your workouts, your thoughts and explanations! 🙏🏻

Paula

Love that I can do this on my own time and the biggest difference I’ve been seeing is my sleep is so much better. Feeling more refreshed in the morning.

Jillian

I felt sore muscles after day one. This morning I took the kids on a walk and I felt it in my arms, legs, and butt. And now that you mention it, less leaking.

Valerie

Loving this so much I'm just gonna go back and do a past vid.

Kijah

After 7 days I am noticing less low back pain. I’be always had a shallow breathing pattern and can tell I’m able to breathe a bit deeper already. Thank you!

Kirby

Angela

Feeling more connection and more movement in my PF! HUGE win for me !

Katie Summers

Week one done! So proud of myself for showing up and taking time for myself every day this week. Enjoy your rest day mamas 💗

Emma

The first day of the TLC challenge fell on my rest day! This first week has been incredible though! The mind-muscle connection has improved tremendously for me during my workouts! When I’m lifting I can feel my TA firing and I remember to breathe! The breathing has been one of the best things since I usually hold my breath and stay pretty tensed. My mind and body just feel so much more relaxed!

Lianna

I can feel a little better connection between my pelvic floor, core, and breathing. I am almost always holding tension somewhere in my body… either my glutes, jaws, or shoulders. I am much more aware of where I hold tension and am working to release throughout the day when I find myself clenching.

Whitney

Since starting this program I have only peed myself TWICE instead of daily!! 🥳 yay for the small wins 😅

Carrie

I love that you said no matter how long it took you to get here, because it took me more than a week that’s for sure. I was really encouraged to come back after missing out on some days because I’m already noticing some strength and improvement in my breathing. I’m looking forward to what’s next.

Caitlin

Woohoo! Most encouraging 7 days I’ve ever felt and I’ve been trying to heal my core/body for months! I found today my body was letting me squat to pick my Son up rather than hunching over- new muscles groups firing! I’ve also felt a much better, less overwhelming understanding of my body and pelvic floor. I’m starting to be less fearful of my body and more empower to what it needs and why! This has helped me with my hypertonic release and being mindful without being stressed! I’m so excited to do my workouts every day because I know I’m seeing/feeling progress!

lexa

Use this day to take what you need! 

**be sure to watch my “check in” video** 
Go on a walk with your kids, pushing a stroller, taking your dogs for a walk, listening to a meditation, spending time with your C-section scar protocols, addressing pelvic floor specifically with hypo or hyper tonic exercises. 

If you want to skip this rest day you can just move onto the next day of workouts

Day 7 MomCORE: Rest Day

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

Day 1 MomCORE

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

Laura

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

Ericka

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.

Emily

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

Heather

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!

Jenny

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

Lauren M.

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

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.

Samantha

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 🥰

Sloane

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

So glad I showed up today! I’ve missed a few days which I wasn’t happy about…I had to split the workout into two bcuz the baby woke up mid workout but I did it ha

My diastisis is improving by the day! 🥰

Danielle

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

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

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?

Jenna

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

Shannon

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. ❤️

Loved the new moves, especially the toe taps!

Loved this exercise so much! The toe tapping was fun and challenging! I can feel my core actually activating now and it’s syncing with my breath and the movements so much easier now. 🫶🏼

Alyssa Raven

Day 29 MomCORE

A lot of people need me but I also need me! Doing this for me ❤️

Day 30 MomCORE

So good! 🔥🔥🔥this program seriously just keeps getting better!

Whew, just what I needed after being sick for the past 4 days!

Did this workout again instead of doing a rest day! 💪🏼

Day 31 MomCORE

Day 32 MomCORE: Rest Day

Another excellent workout that I really enjoyed! I’m really starting to feel my core activated throughout my day now too- it’s working! ☺️

So appreciative of all the little reminders during a movement. That is what really helps with those light bulb moments and feeling the connection happen.

Day 33 MomCORE

So sweaty and so loving it on the first day of the 21 Day Challenge!!!

Natasha

Day 34 MomCORE

Awesome work out. How can you come up with such cute looking exercises that turn so cruel as soon as we start doing them😜🤣🤣🤣?Loved every minute of it and weirdly I didn't want dit to end

Orsi

This one kicked it up a notch. Sweating and burning lol

Ainsley

Day 35 MomCORE

I SO needed that! Really felt everything click so well with that final workout move/explanation!!

Day 36 MomCORE

I’ve had chronic lower back pain for 15 years and nothing has helped. I’ve tried PT, yoga, acupuncture, massage, you name it, I’ve it. But I was able to clean out my entire garage yesterday and woke up with ZERO back pain! Normally I would have had lower back pain for days! I could feel myself going engaging my core when I was lifting heavy boxes and I know that’s because of Momcore. Super grateful for this program, for many reasons. Thank you Jesse!

Day 37 MomCORE

Cate

Day 38 MomCORE

Day 39 MomCORE: Rest Day

The bear plank lifts with the taps... Whoa

Day 40 MomCORE

Definitely was not into it today but now that it's done I'm glad I didn't skip! Love this one because it's work but also an easier seeming flow.

Day 41 MomCORE

Day 42 MomCORE: Rest Day

Day 43 MomCORE

Day 44 MomCORE

So beyond grateful for this program, the progress I felt today has completely blown me away and made me so crazy emotional. Thank you thank you thank YOU Jesse!!!
