Hi! I'm Tiffany Leiseth, and I'm so excited to share my postpartum fitness journey with you! If you're looking for a simple postpartum workout plan from home, you are in the right place! After two pregnancies, two c-sections, and my experience as a group fitness instructor, I've learned several helpful tips along the way that I can't wait to share with you!
Who am I?
Just guess... Breastfeeding wrecked my chest. (Any Bring it on Fans here? Hopefully you got my reference). Okay, the first thing that you should know about me is that I am diagnosed with ADHD, and I may break out into spontaneous movie quotes or songs. The good news is that I know exactly what it feels like to be an overwhelmed new mom, and I've found simple and sustainable postpartum fitness solutions that fit the busy mom lifestyle. Even moms with ADHD.
But for real... who is Tiffany Leiseth?
I am 35 years old, and I've been married for about 12 years. I'm a stay at home mom of two, and a former group exercise instructor. In 2015, I started using home workout programs during my first postpartum fitness journey, and I never looked back. Long story short, I hit rock bottom in 2014. When I became pregnant the following year, I had a newfound purpose in life and a desire to improve myself to be a strong role model for my daughter.
This inspired me to partner with a home fitness company and launch "Project Fitness" in the hopes of helping others find their inner strength through fitness. I believe that the best project you will ever work on is yourself, and that's the message I share with all my clients.
My favorite fitness trainer of all time, Shaun T, says, "If you can hold up your body, you can hold up your life." And I've found this to be true in my own personal fitness journey. Past Tiffany would exercise as a way to make herself smaller, but the Tiffany you see today exercises to be a badass. I want to be mentally and physically strong. I want to be able to keep up with my kids, and have enough energy to get through the day with them. My main priority is to be happy and healthy, and to love myself and this one body I have to carry me throughout my whole life. I'm hoping to use my blog as a way to build other moms up and dismantle the unrealistic postpartum body expectations placed on us by society.
If you were born in the 80s, then I know you feel me. Magazines in the 90s and early 2000s were absolutely brutal to women, headline after headline of weight gain, weight loss, and shaming women simply for existing in their bodies. New celebrity moms were celebrated for losing their pregnancy weight quickly, and women in general were heavily scrutinized based on their size and appearance.
There's so much to unpack, unlearn, and rewire in our brains. I'm inviting you on this journey with me. We are going to work on our fitness for OURSELVES. Not to just "lose the baby weight" or "fit the pre-pregnancy jeans" because those reasons lack a deeper purpose and will lead to disappointment and shame if you don't see results quickly.
I am going to help you love yourself where you are right now, and give yourself patience and grace as you step into your postpartum fitness journey. Rome wasn't built in a day. So we can't expect the best version of you to be built quickly either. This is a lifelong process, and together we're building a new fempire. And this one doesn't give a damn what you weigh. This one is here to support you exactly as you are.
