Loaded is not for brand new members who are unfamiliar with MommaStrong. Before beginning the Loaded series, you need to complete Jump Start, Build and practice the Momma Daily 15 workouts for at least a month. 

Experienced MommaStrong members who are currently pregnant may be able to do Loaded but you should speak to your healthcare professional. If you have questions, please contact us for more information at help@mommastrong.com.

Loaded is also not for members in the first 6 months postpartum or those experiencing symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction including:

• Urinary or fecal incontinence with exercise
• Symptomatic prolapse (heaviness, dragging, pressure, or feeling a bulge outside of the vagina)

If these apply to you, please prioritize learning, healing, fix-me’s, and doctor’s guidance. If you have questions about any existing symptoms, email help@mommastrong.com.

You have options. Lots and lots of options. We will demonstrate the use of dumbells, kettlebells, and resistance bands as well as DIY options you can find around your house. You don’t need ALL of these items. You will explore the options in the Loaded series so you can decide what is right for you right now. You can find our specific equipment recommendations in the equipment section in our shop.

You will be using the MommaStrong system of strength (aka as the anchor points: deep abs, glutes and mid back). First we will dive into the Introduction where you will learn resistance training basics like:

• Readiness & contraindications
• Breathing
• Equipment options

Next, you will dive into Essential Movement Patterns and cueing for:

And, finally in the What’s Next? section, we will discuss how to apply and continue your practice. Once again you have options. You can come back and repeat the stand alone practice workouts or you can access shorter add-on workouts in the More than Enough category. The More Than Enough add-ons are meant to be added on to your Daily 15 workout or any other exercise you love to do.

The key to resistance training is continually challenging yourself, ensuring adequate recovery, and of course- consistency. Including resistance training sessions that challenge you a few times per week is enough to notice gains in strength, balance, mobility, and muscle mass. For beginners, you may notice differences within a matter of weeks.

Beyond this, there are MANY benefits to learning and consistently practicing resistance exercises including: improved self-confidence and mood; improved pain management; decreased risk of injury; improved posture and stamina; increased bone density and reduced risk of osteoporosis; increased performance in everyday activities; and improved sleep quality.
