Becoming a parent changes everything — especially your fitness routine. In this honest and relatable episode, InstructorLive founder Austin Wilks chats with West End choreographer, fitness coach, and new mum Carlie Milner about what it really takes to return to exercise after having a baby.

They discuss:
• The reality of post-baby fitness
• Why “bouncing back” isn’t the goal
• How to rebuild strength and confidence
• The power of walking, Pilates, and listening to your body

Carlie also shares her favourite InstructorLive workouts — and reveals how lifting her toddler helped improve her arm definition (seriously!).

🎧 Whether you’re a new parent, returning after a break, or just need motivation to move again, this episode is for you.
