![]() ![]() But my classes and movement were a consistent part of my life that I looked forward to every day. As a group fitness instructor and trainer who’s always been active, taking time off post-baby was almost more mentally challenging. Lively: What was your post-baby fitness journey like? The fit mom blogger took time out of her busy schedule to chat with Lively about her fitness journey, how she finds time to squeeze in a sweat session, and how Vital Proteins helps her stay healthy. There are a ton of workouts on insta.You might know Lindsey Bomgren from Instagram - she’s the creator of the NourishMoveLove blog - where she shares prenatal and postpartum workouts, as well as a peek inside her life as a new mom. Shoulders and AB’s- shoulder press, lateral raises, Arnold press, ab scrunch, weighted ab pulls, ab twists with weight, planks and good old crunches. Legs - squats, quad squat, single leg calf raises, lunges, dead lift squat, Bulgarian split squats, pelvic thrusts.īack and bicep- rows, wide grip rows, pull downs, single arm rows, and 3 variations of curls, along with a drop set of curls.Ĭhest- bench presses various forms, close grip press, tricep extensions, tricep pull downs, tricep push downs. Just to switch things up, using cables instead of dumb bells/ bar bells etc Now some days I have to cut it short or not at all, and that’s okay! I’m sure I’m missing some workouts below, but you get the idea! Lol we do different workouts of different forms sometimes as well. ĭay 1 Legs,day 2 back and bicep, day 3 chest and tricep, day 4 shoulders and Abs, repeat day 1, day 2 etc. You can start with whatever body part, this is what works for us. For about an 45 mins to an hour each session. BUT ! I recommend lean beef Patty ( weird name but effective female workouts!) she’s on YouTube and instagram as lean beef Patty. He was going to the gym and he’s lost 90 pounds, so when I decided I wanted to work out he bought me a whole ass at home gym □ to work out with me and he teaches me form and technique and such. Honestly, my husband and I workout together. It felt like I was making progress for a few days at the beginning and then the scale just froze on day four and hasn't budged since lol help □□ I'd love to get back down to at least 130lbs. I guess I'm just looking for advice or tips or just people in the same boat. AND some people say after the four week mark, they finally started to see the lbs drop on the scale. And some people say they couldn't lose the weight until they slept better (he still nurses round the clock). I know some people say they couldn't lose the weight until they stopped breastfeeding (I plan to go until he's 2 years old so I got 9 more months). My question is- why haven't I seen the scale budge? Will I ever be back to 125lbs again? Can someone who didn't workout before becoming pregnant, get pregnant, have a baby, gain all that extra fat and then workout to lose it again? Or will I just always have this fat pouch now?ĭon't get me wrong, I am so proud of my body and the fact that it continues to nourish my baby, but I want to feel good again. My fit bit says I burn around 2,000-2,400 calories a day. I am currently hitting cardio 2-4x a week (30 minutes a day) & more focused abs/glutes/arms 2x a week (30 minutes a day). So for the past four weeks, I decided to cut out Starbucks (almost 500 calories daily), limit myself to 1500 calories intake a day, and add in an exercise routine with increased daily water intake. When it was nice out, we would walk everyday but it's been so hard with the weather being so nasty where we are. I've been breastfeeding and working from home with the baby so I'm mainly in front of a computer 50% of the day- the other 50% doing housework/entertaining baby, etc. So I was stoked to be so skinny, but then slowly I started putting on weight and fast forward to now- I'm fluctuating between 164-172lbs. I was shocked when I only weighed 125lbs as that's always been my goal weight (5ft3in for reference). I was physically active as a kid, but haven't really been for the last 10 years or so. I got up to 175lbs while pregnant and dropped to 120/125lbs by about 3 months PP. Okay backstory - prepregnancy I weighed about 143lbs.
