Fourth Trimester Restore
6-week progressive core & pelvic floor rehab program for moms 3+ weeks postpartum who want to heal their core and pelvic floor after birth and feel connected again
Giving birth is an amazing and life changing experience.
I bet you prepared for your birth but didn’t really think you needed to prepare for the postpartum period😉.
AND…
Now that you’re on the other side, you’re feeling overwhelmed and not sure where to even start to bring some of “you” back.
Does your core feel weak?
Are you worried about leaking forever or feeling heaviness in your pelvic floor?
Is your body achy and you don't feel like yourself?
Are you unsure or confused with how to safely return to exercise after birth?
The good news is that the Progressive Core & Pelvic Floor Strengthening Program that will help you strengthen your abdominal muscles, get rid of leaking and aches and pains, and help you build your strongest foundation in postpartum is right here!
WELCOME TO
A 6-week progressive core & pelvic floor rehab program that will get you back to the activities you love with a stronger foundation than before.
Say bye-bye to the “mommy pooch”, peeing when you sneeze, or feeling weak.
I felt overwhelmed after the birth of my first child! I was the heaviest I had ever been, worried about exercising after giving birth, and was very unmotivated. Julie’s Fourth Trimester Restore program made me a stronger, fitter, healthier, and most importantly happier person. I also credit this program with helping me in a speedy recovery and a desire to progressively return to exercise. Julie provided advice on posture and all of the exercises in the program could be done at home. She is very knowledgeable about postpartum and I trusted her to guide me through what was right for my body in that stage. I can’t recommend Fourth Trimester Restore highly enough for postnatal fitness.
HI THERE!
I’m Julie Leonard, mom to 3 kids, founder of Strong Body Strong Mama, and an expert in Pre and Postnatal Fitness. My Master’s degree in Exercise Science, specialized training in core and pelvic health, Prenatal and Postnatal Fitness Certification, and personal experience as a mom of 3 make me the ideal person to coach you through your postpartum journey.
I have had my own share of struggles through 3 pregnancies, births, and postpartum experiences. I was able to overcome my incontinence issues by educating and advocating for myself, and seeking the right care. I have built my strong foundation in postpartum and continue to work on my core and pelvic health on a daily basis. My own experiences fired me up to help moms like you have better postpartum recoveries.
The 6 weeks postpartum clearance is NOT enough. You must spend time reconnecting and rehabbing your deep core in postpartum BEFORE getting back to your regular activities.
I am on a mission to change how women recover after birth and how they are supported in the years after having a baby.

“Julie really explains why building certain muscles first is so important in the recovery process and tells us how to do it. I have seen amazing results in my abs and I so appreciate how I can always ask her for input and suggestions.”
“Just wanted to give a huge thank you to Julie for her amazing help with my pelvic floor recovery after baby number two! My little guy is 13 weeks now and I just went back to my boot camp class. I felt strong and ready—no leaking or pain like I had after my first baby. I’m so glad I found Julie and will definitely reconnect for any future pregnancies. She’s a wealth of knowledge and a great resource!”
“When I first met Julie I was 6 weeks postpartum, and had pretty significant diastasis recti and general abdominal weakening. Julie’s classes have been amazing for me! With her knowledge and support, I learned not only how to rehab and strengthen my muscles but also how to reconnect and regain function. Julie is patient, approachable, and passionate about mamas. Highly recommend!”

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I sign up?
Click one of the JOIN NOW buttons and you’ll be redirected to a page to make your secure payment via PayPal. You will then receive a welcome email with your login information and your next steps. You will be able to start the program right away!
What happens after I purchase Fourth Trimester Restore?
Upon purchasing Fourth Trimester Restore, you will receive an email to create a username and password to gain access to the members only portal where you will find the 6 week program, videos, and extras. Everything you need is in this members only portal. You will need to watch the educational videos before starting Week 1 of the program.
What equipment do I need?
All you need is a medium sized ball (a child’s ball will work fine), a resistance band (medium strength), and a tennis ball. Light dumbbells are optional for a few exercises. Most exercises only require your body weight or you could also use household items.
How soon can I start the program after giving birth?
I recommend you wait at least 3 weeks after delivery before starting the program. If you had a cesarean birth or a complicated vaginal delivery, I recommed that you wait at least 4 weeks. The first few weeks are very gentle breathing, mobility, and core rehab exercises. While most people can start at 3 weeks, I do ask that you get approval from your doctor before starting.
How long do I have access to the program?
Fourth Trimester Restore members will have lifetime access to the program! As long as the program is being offered, you will have access to it.
How long are the workouts?
Once you are familiar with the breathing and engagement techniques, each workout should take you about 30-40 minutes. Remember that you do not have to complete each workout in one time slot. You can do 10 minutes here and there throughout the day.
How many workouts per week do I get?
Each workout was designed carefully to allow your postpartum body to adjust and progress from week to week. Because of that, you will receive one workout a week for 6 weeks. I recommend that you perform the workout 3-4 times a week for best results.
I have Pelvic Organ Prolapse or Diastasis Recti. Is this program safe for me?
Yes, this program was designed to help you heal your core and pelvic floor. All the exercises are safe for prolapse and diastasis recti and the progressions will in fact help you strengthen and get rid of symptoms. There are also educational videos that will help you understand what to look and feel for during your workouts and to know when to modify exercises.
Can I still do this program if I am 6+months postpartum?
While you can still complete the program at 6+ months postpartum and see benefits, it was designed with the first 6 months postpartum in mind. If you are later on in your postpartum journey, I would recommend my Ready to Run Postpartum program (whole body strength + return to impact exercises).
Do I need to be cleared by my doctor to start the program?
Even though you can start the Fourth Trimester Restore Program as early as 3 weeks postpartum, I ask that you get approval from your doctor to do so. The first few weeks are gentle breathing and pelvic floor reconnecting exercises with no added weight that will slowly build strength from the inside out.
What's your refund policy?
There is a 7-day money back guarantee. You can request a refund if you are not satisfied with the program within 7 days and receive a full refund. However, please understand that you will also be taken out of the membership portal should you decide it’s not for you. No refunds will be granted after 7 days.
Who do I contact if I still have questions?
You can contact Julie at julie@strongbodystrongmama.com if you have any questions about the program.
