Every woman who has given birth knows the difficulty of getting back in shape, at the same time as caring for a small child, and trying to maintain a routine.
This is exactly why the online group "Mom Returns to Jeans" was established, which offers women a dedicated program for fitness, nutrition and a healthy lifestyle.
Over time, the program expanded, and now another group is opening, which is called "Machihat Be'ol".
This is a dedicated group that is suitable for women who are dealing with high excess weight, of more than 20 kilos.
This is a dedicated program that provides a comprehensive answer to women in a way that is adapted to them, with a menu and a unique training routine.
The group focuses on matching the fitness exercises to the physical abilities, dietary changes that suit the body's needs, and an emphasis on a moderate process that does not cause a drastic decrease in calorie consumption.
In addition, the group includes women who are in the same situation, and support each other in the process.
The "Mom Returns to Jeans" program combines four key elements: fitness, nutrition, personal accompaniment and a supportive and encouraging community.
The online program includes tutorials and a nutritional menu based on balanced eating in a way that allows you to persevere over time and enjoy food, online tutorials and training with exercises adapted to the physical limitations of an overweight body, and mental guidance that guides the process to maximum results.

= Onor Okstein, founder of the group "Mom returns to jeans" and a fitness trainer, explains what is behind the new group.
"This is a workshop that sees the weight loss process through the eyes of overweight women, and not from the perspective of the diet itself," she explains.
"We were approached by women who had attended our workshops, and other women who had tried diets and workouts that didn't work, and wanted a program that suited their status. We put together a dedicated program that would help them persevere in the process."
What are the main changes in the new group?
Nutrition
: These are women who are used to eating different amounts than an overweight woman, the composition of the food is often different, as well as the eating habits throughout the day.
In the new program, the women will receive a different menu from the regular workshop, with a different meal structure and different amounts.
The menu will change gradually during the process, and will be moderate, which will allow persistence over time.
Fitness:
This is a unique training method that is suitable for overweight women.
The idea of the method is to bring the challenges that the women face, and to give them a professional answer and tailored training.
Women who are very overweight have limited mobility, and simple exercises are not always possible for them, and they give up fitness altogether.
The workshop focuses on preventing excessive load on the knees, avoiding jumps that are not suitable for them, reducing the transition from sitting to standing, avoiding lying on the stomach and other positions that are not suitable for their body structure.

Mental
strengthening
: in the workshop, emphasis is placed on changing behavior patterns, with the understanding that obesity is not based only on the diet itself, but on eating and thinking habits that have taken root over the years, and drive the choice of food and its quantities.
The goal is not to challenge these habits of thought, but to change them gradually.
Belonging: Women who participated in the existing groups shared the difficulty of feeling a sense of belonging in a group where overweight women are low.
The women felt ashamed and embarrassed, and did not receive the required support from the group.
An essential part of the new workshop is intimate groups of overweight women who empathize with each other's experiences.
The groups will be accompanied by a mentor who has gone through a similar process, and will be available for the participants.
