“I feel like I’ve lost all my muscles… like I’m just a sack of skin!”
Ask Active Mum - My BABY Is 6 Months & I Feel Like l’ve LOST All My MUSCLES & STRENGTH!
“I feel like I’ve lost all my muscles… like I’m just a sack of skin!”
Yep. That’s actually what one of our beautiful mums said the other day — and if you’ve had a baby recently, I bet you know exactly what she means. 💯
Welcome to our new little series: “Ask Active Mum” — where we tackle the real, raw, and ridiculously common questions we hear every week from new mums in our classes.
And today’s hot topic?
👉 Why you feel like your strength has vanished into thin air post-baby.
Let’s break it down:
During pregnancy, your body goes through wild changes. Your posture shifts. Muscles switch off. And unless you’ve done targeted training to keep the right muscles firing — you slowly lose strength, tone, and stability without even realising it. 😵💫
Then baby arrives.
Suddenly you’re:
🍼 Holding
👶 Feeding
🤱 Rocking
🚶♀️ Carrying
…24/7.
Your shoulders hunch. Your core? Checked out. Glutes? Snoozing. Neck and back? Screaming for help.
No wonder you feel like a wobbly jellyfish trying to keep it all together. 🫠
But here's the truth you need to hear:
❤️ You are not broken. Your body just needs the right kind of help to bounce back.
At Active Mum, we don’t do one-size-fits-all bootcamps or random workouts slapped together from Instagram.
We’ve built a fun, feel-good strength program that’s:
✔️ Rehab-based
✔️ Mum-body friendly
✔️ Designed to realign, re-fire, and rebuild everything that pregnancy and motherhood have knocked out of place.
Because picking up a growing baby 30 times a day shouldn’t break you.
Running after a toddler shouldn’t leave you wrecked.
And feeding, rocking, and mum-life shouldn’t come with chronic neck or back pain.
So if you’re tired of feeling weak, sore, or like your body’s not your own anymore — we’re here to change that. 💪
