You know the kind—your baby’s been up all night, the laundry’s piling up, and you can’t remember the last time you had a moment to yourself. The idea of exercising feels laughable. But here's the thing: even on those days, especially on those days, I choose to move. Not because I have to, but because it helps me feel human again.
After giving birth, I was overwhelmed. My body felt foreign, my emotions were all over the place, and I was constantly exhausted. The thought of working out seemed impossible. But I started small. A short walk around the block, gentle stretches during nap time, or even just standing up and moving around the house more intentionally. These tiny movements became my lifeline.
It's not about losing weight or "getting my body back." It's about reclaiming a sense of self. Movement helps me:
I realized that movement doesn't have to mean a full workout. Some days, it's dancing with my baby in the living room. Other days, it's a quick workout session or a walk with the stroller. The key is consistency and listening to my body.
I also found that having a support system made a huge difference. Connecting with other new moms, joining postpartum fitness groups, or even just having a friend to check in with kept me motivated and accountable. Studies show that social interaction can enhance the benefits of exercise and reduce feelings of isolation.
If you're looking for guidance, my app, 180byBri, offers tailored workouts and support for postpartum women. Whether you're just starting or looking to step up your fitness game, there's something for everyone. Plus, I'm offering a free 7-day one-on-one training to help you get started.
If you're looking for guidance, support, and something that actually understands where you are, my app, 180byBri, was made exactly for that—and for you.
I didn’t just wake up one day and decide to build a fitness app. I created 180byBri out of necessity—born from my own struggle as a new mom who felt completely disconnected from her body, overwhelmed by the chaos of motherhood, and unsure where to begin.
After pregnancy, I realized how loud the fitness industry can be. There’s pressure to “bounce back,” to do it fast, and to look a certain way while you’re still barely figuring out feeding schedules and surviving on 3 hours of sleep. None of it felt real, relatable, or built for us—the moms healing from the inside out. So I built what I wish I had.
180byBri isn’t just another app with workouts slapped together. It’s a safe, supportive space with realistic, gentle-but-effective fitness programs specifically designed for postpartum bodies and busy women. The workouts are short, smart, and rooted in restoring strength—not punishment. There’s also mindset work, community check-ins, and nutrition resources that don’t make you feel like you’re failing if you skip a green smoothie.
Whether you're just starting your journey, easing back into movement after baby, or ready to level up your fitness routine in a way that still honors your body—there’s something for you inside.
And because I know how hard it can be to take that first step, I’m offering a free 7-day one-on-one training to personally guide you. No pressure, no unrealistic expectations—just support, encouragement, and structure from someone who’s been there.
Because movement shouldn’t be a punishment—it should be healing. And that’s the heartbeat behind everything I’ve poured into 180byBri.
Movement has become my medicine. It's not always easy, and some days are harder than others, but every step, stretch, and breath brings me closer to feeling like myself again. If you're a new mom navigating the postpartum journey, know that you're not alone. Start small, be kind to yourself, and remember: every movement counts.
