Flash Fit's owner, Kate Marden, created the Five for Life healthy lifestyle principles as a way to blend the appealing tranquility and healthy habits of the world's original Blue Zones with the realities of living in high-traffic, high-stress environments like the DC area. Kate will offer suggestions in five areas: fitness, nutrition, sleep hygiene and stress management, social circle support, and living with a purpose; and there will be ample time for participant participation in the form of an informal workshop. All participants will receive a full Five for Life interactive roadmap after the session.

But the 6-week checkup is not a strength test. It’s not a pelvic floor assessment. And it’s not a personalized return-to-exercise plan.
For many women, safe, intentional movement can begin sooner than you think. For others, 6 weeks is far too early for impact. The key isn’t a date on the calendar — it’s understanding what your body needs and how to progress strategically.
Join us for this free virtual workshop on Thursday, April 16, at 7:00 PM to learn what current evidence actually says about postpartum recovery and return to exercise.
In this practical, evidence-informed session, you’ll learn:
-What’s happening to your core and pelvic floor after birth
-Why the 6-week rule is often misunderstood
-What movement can safely begin earlier than you think
-How to progress from early recovery to strength training and impact
-How to interpret leakage, heaviness, or pain
-When to modify, when to move forward, and when to seek individualized support
This workshop is hosted by Carrie Pagliano Physical Therapy, an Arlington, VA-based practice specializing in advanced pelvic floor and orthopedic care for active women and moms who want to return to running, lifting, and sport without leaks or pain.
