Moms do it all – carrying a heavy toddler on your hip, spending way more time than expected playing on the floor, and contorting your body to reach into the backseat for your child. And that’s before you factor in your workouts, sports, and everything else life throws at you.
With Mother’s Day right around the corner, we wanted to highlight something we’re passionate about here at BEYOND; helping moms build real, lasting strength.
What It Means To Train For Life
Training for life means building enough strength to handle anything that comes your way – whether that’s lifting your kids, getting through a long run, or getting up from the floor multiple times a day without thinking twice.
It also means thinking beyond the present moment. Ask yourself:
What do you want to be able to do forever? For some women, that’s making sure they can get up and down from the floor effortlessly well into their 80s and beyond. For others, it’s going for a walk – or a run – or a hike.
What changes might your body go through that you want to be prepared for? Maybe you’re thinking about baby #2 or #3. Maybe you’re approaching perimenopause and want to stay ahead. Either way, the time to start building is now.
How We Help Moms Train For Life At BEYOND
Every program we build is based on your individual needs, not based on a generic template.
We build a program around your life. Busy schedule? We design realistic plans that fit. No gym membership? We focus on equipment you already have or can easily access.
We address what’s holding you back. We identify areas of weakness or restriction first, whether that’s pain, bladder symptoms, or movement limitations that are getting in the way of your goals.
We balance your short and long-term goals. Your program is designed to help you feel better now, while also keeping your bigger picture in mind. Want to run a marathon one day? We’re building towards that, even on day one.
We train for real life. Lunges for the moms who get up and down from the floor often with their baby. Upper body strengthening for our CEO moms who spend a lot of their day at a desk. Rotation training for the moms that want to get back to their golf league postpartum. This isn’t general fitness – it’s intentional.
We keep pelvic health in mind, always. We teach you how to manage pressure within your abdomen during exercise so your core and pelvic floor can work together. We don’t have to do internal work or pelvic floor specific exercises to keep that part of your body in mind with our programming.
Strength That Carries Into Everything You Do
Strength training is about building a body that can support you through all the demands of life – today, in 10 years, and beyond. At BEYOND, we help moms build strength that lasts, so you can show up for yourself and your family for many years to come.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms in our community.
