Hi! I am so excited to welcome all the new faces to SAAM. I know both myself and @McKenna Thibodeau would love to hear more about who you are. This page is about building community and connecting with other moms. We'd love for you to share a quick intro on our community page telling us who you are and what you're most excited about with this community/program!

Hi! We are so excited to announce that our postpartum program will be dropping in the coming weeks. It consists of 12 months of rehab and return to strength training for moms!

Hi Everyone. New to the group. Mum of two babies, athlete and coach :) Excited to be here <3

Check out this excerpt from a meta-analysis that looked at over 3K pregnant women! "This systematic review and meta-analysis consolidate existing evidence, demonstrating that physical exercise is associated with an increased likelihood of normal vaginal delivery, a reduced rate of cesarean delivery, and a shorter first stage of labor." https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0326868&utm

Check out this study that showed the effects of strength training for women postpartum and how it not only effected their physical but MENTAL HEALTH!! This looked at a total of 35 randomized controlled studies and concluded that resistance training postpartum reduced anxiety and depression by 45%. Thats huge!! https://www.ovid.com/journals/bjsme/fulltext/10.1136/bjsports-2024-108478~impact-of-postpartum-physical-activity-on-maternal
