Solid program with some room for improvement
Overall, I've really been enjoying the structure of the program and the content of the workouts. I learned a lot about engaging core, and safe movement in pregnancy (and beyond.) For improvement: -Some more upbeat/fun music would be great - the tracks get monotonous -There is occasional toxic 'workout language' - for example 'you deserve a stretch' -it wasn't until months into the program, when I switch my path to a special pilates 21 day challenge, did I get any information about a pelvic floor that is too tight, and how to modify in this case. In the meantime, I had already seen a pelvic floor therapist who diagnosed me with this condition and highly advised against kegels and the continual encouragement to perform them with the 10 minutes of core compression. This information should be a basic part of the prepare program, as it's apparently fairly common, especially among first time mothers, or mothers who didn't go through vaginal childbirth.

Hi Rachel, thank you for your thoughtful review. We will forward your suggestions. As you mentioned, we have many resources related to an overtight pelvic floor and we can certainly work to include them sooner. The Every Mother team
