BioJacked #6: Core Rehab with Helene Byrne

Helene Byrne (befitmom.com) is an exercise physiologist specializing in post-pregnancy rehabilitation. She also has some interesting things to say about the strange effects that powerlifting has on the shape of the core muscles, a physiological issue Kiefer is interested in as well.

Moms: those of you who’ve had trouble exorcising that postpartum pooch, despite a good diet and exercise, will definitely want to listen to this one.

Powerlifters: if you’ve been training hard and seeing that classic powerlifter barrel gut developing (despite a low level of body fat), you might want to hear what she has to say.

Ms Byrne, a dancer and mother of 2, developed her program to allow the quickest possible reconditioning of her abdominals both in form and function. She concerns herself not just with the aesthetics of the core but with its best functioning, and in the full rehabilitation of the postpartum frame back its normal configuration.
