Prenatal and Postnatal Exercise- Schedule Your Workout

“I’m too tired.”  “I have so much to do before baby comes.”  Sound familiar?  When you’re pregnant it’s easy to find an excuse not to exercise.  Then after the baby…”I’m don’t have time”.  “I’m too tired” (yes, that happens especially after baby!).  So in both cases what I highly recommend is to schedule exercise into your planner or calendar.  If you have it scheduled into your day you will be more likely to do it.  Remember, after your exercise you will feel so much bette… so schedule it today!

Postnatal Workout- Make Your Workout a Game for Your Child

Being a mom of two boys, a 8 mo. old and a 3 yr. old, I know that it can be challening to get your workout in.  But I have the solutions…make your workout a game for your child!  Just yesterday I put my 8 mo. old in a baby back pack carrier, and went outside with my 3 yr. old.  I told him I was going to exercise and he asked if he could workout out with me!  He followed along while I “taught” him some kicks and squats.  After 5 minutes he was done with that, so we walked to our neighbors down the street and climbed up and down their stairs.  I challenged him to walk up the stairs 5 times, and he said, “no 10!”  Children love games, so make your exercise into a game and they will join you.  It’s cute, fun, and you get to do your workout and be a great role model for your child!

“Postnatal Total Body Toning Workout DVD is like having your own personal trainer and therapist come into your home every day to tend to the needs of mommy”

Mom Gadget’s review states “Having the Postnatal Total body Toning Workout DVD is like having your own personal trainer and therapist come into your home every day to tend to the needs of mommy for a half an hour.  I may not be postnatal- well, I am- by 13 years, but I find this workout one that I don’t mind doing and wouldn’t mind doing daily.  Simply because it doesn’t require a great deal of time to look and feel great!”
