As a a physiotherapist, I think the program has some good elements, especially the more dynamic, cardio-based exercises that encourage overall movement and conditioning.
That said, I feel the program places a bit too much emphasis on abdominal exercises. While core strength is important, I don't think the abs need to be trained as aggressively as this plan suggests, especially considering her current level and goals. In my experience, abdominal exercises are often somewhat overrated when compared to the benefits of building strength through larger movement patterns.
I would prefer to see more emphasis on lower-body and upper-body strengthening—particularly exercises targeting the legs, glutes, back, and arms. These muscle groups contribute significantly to overall function, posture, strength, metabolic health, and even core stability in a more integrated way.
My main recommendation would be to reduce some of the dedicated ab work and replace it with more compound strengthening exercises for the legs, back, and upper body. This would create a more balanced program and likely provide better long-term results. Overall, it's a decent plan, but I think the exercise distribution could be improved to better reflect what tends to have the greatest impact on strength and function.
My husband and I have embarked on the 569 challenge together, we’re absolutely loving it. It’s such a motivator for us after having our first baby and needing to find ourselves in fitness again and really commit to ourselves and each other that we can make room for workouts and motivate each other to push harder. The challenge was perfect for exactly that! We’re on day 18 (we didn’t start right away but we end on the Fourth of July here in the US) and we are already ready to start it over!!
I loved this program. Exactly what I needed after baby #3. Feeling stronger and ready to take on more workouts now with a stronger pelvic floor and overall core!
I absolutely loved body & bump and restore as well. It gave me the tools to savely workout during pregnancy and built my body back up after giving birth. I recommended it to all my friends as well 🫶🏼
This workout program is very good, and I love Sarah as a boy-mom, multi-pregnancy model that a fit body during and after pregnancy is totally possible! I also like that Charlotte the pelvic floor physio has vetted & backed the workout which was a huge draw for me as a first-time mama at 40 with an inguinal hernia history. So far I'm staying pretty consistent with these workouts. I just wish the photos were bigger and there was one or two full workout follow-alongs. I would totally recommend this to other mamas though!
I used this book all throughout my pregnancy and loved it. I had a smooth delivery and have been recovering well postpartum, I’d like to think that this exercise plan helped make my whole pregnancy and delivery easier! It felt great to have safe, tailored workouts throughout each week, and it was exciting to follow the plan and see what the next week would bring!
I’m so happy with this programme. It’s eased me back into fitness in a gentle way while seeing results. I highly recommend to any postpartum moms out there who want to get their fitness back or start a fitness journey. Excellent value, as it comes with detailed information regarding pelvic floor health, postpartum bodies and the programme itself, just wow. Love the videos that accompany each and every workout so you will for sure, get it right and not waste anytime.
Love it.
I loved this challenge! A few days in I felt like quitting because I wasn't used to a workout every day and thought I couldn't do it. But I kept going and I'm so happy I did. I feel amazing. Thank you for helping me create new habits and become fitter and stronger 💪
Love this challenge. Just so do-able and the nutrition advice & recipes are helpful. Only lost 3kg but noticeably more toned and feel so much more fit and strong.
Love this program so far! The last 5yrs I have been having babies and never found a program I could stick with to get back in top shape. Getting to cross off the challenge days is so motivating and this is the most consistent I have been in years! Already seeing my body tighten up and I'm only 3wks in! The workouts are hard and kicking my butt, but in the best way! 10/10 would recommend!
It is going really great! Loving it. Pushing me out of my comfort zone with running 😅 but I just keep moving for 25 minutes and it feels good after. 2nd run club today sadly did not beat last week but we have week 3… right 😂
I am only on day 14 of the 560 challenge and I couldn’t recommend it enough to those who are also time poor like myself. I am managing & excited to do these workouts daily. Given they are always different from the last, it really keeps me motivated. I hesitated to move forward with the purchase a few times and I have no regrets that I finally decided to bite the bullet and get it done this time around. It has been the perfect way to get me started with my fitness journey (once again) in 2026. Don’t over think it. Just do it :)
I absolutely love this challenge so far! I thought maybe there would be a lot of repeat workouts, but no! You get 60 workouts and it blew my expectations out of the water! Frothing it.
I am a big Sarah fan and the idea of this program seemed so good but I just didnt like the layout of the workouts. Spending all of week 1 just doing the same exercises was not fun, especially cause your body gets sore in those specific places. I kept looking forward to the next day to finally have some different exercises but then just the same old thing. I wouldve liked some more variety in the exercises day to day - instead of having to half- ass my way through a workout cause my muscles are too sore to keep repeating the same movements.
I love it!! I love the fact that I can do these exercises at home, which it great as a working mother of two young boys. The workouts are versatile and challenging enough (but definitely doable) which keeps me motivated. I love how this challenge covers all aspects that you need to be your healthiest self - sleep, nutrition, exercise and less screentime. I would highly recommend this challenge!
