Modern living often leaves little room for self-care, with stress, sedentary routines and hectic schedules taking a toll on overall well-being. According to the American Psychiatric Association, 43 percent of adults say “they feel more anxious than they did the previous year.” As people increasingly try to prioritize their physical fitness and mental health, retreats offering holistic programs have become sought-after sanctuaries for renewal and transformation.

After having a baby, many new mothers feel pressure to return to how they looked before their pregnancy.

But a fitness trainer has offered some—hopefully welcome—advice to new moms. In a video on Instagram, trainer James Cappola answered a question posted by a mother who, four months after giving birth, she had gained 40Ibs and was doing 15 to 30-minute home workouts.
