I've been getting in some really good, quick workouts the past few weeks! And yesterday, my awesome hubby helped me set up a mini-gym downstairs and built a pull-up station!! I've found that with a newborn, getting in a HIIT-style workout is the best & most effective way to workout. I have (literally!) hundreds of hour long bootcamp workouts saved from all of my classes, but I don't have a full hour to get in a workout with Carter around! But 20 minutes is do-able, and he will sit in his chair or lay on a blanket & watch me (& laugh!) I'm still losing weight, slowly but surely, and I'm starting to gain my strength back. The very first workout that I did was terrible as far as core strength... I'm still not back to normal, but I am able to do a lot more (with good form!) now. There are some great sites online with HIIT workouts (hiitmamas.blogspot.com & dailyhiit.com are 2 of my fave's!) and I usually combine those with some of my own fitness touches! Strength training is so important, and so many ladies don't do it! Lift weights girls- you won't bulk up, but you WILL look much better with some muscle tone! Cardio is good as well, but don't skimp on the lifting!!
Here is a progress pic- I still have a long way to go, but I'll get there :)
