Hey, my name is Erin, and I'm a former U.S. junior Olympics certified swim coach and personal
trainer, and fitness is my passion, so I cannot wait to share it with you guys. All right,
ladies, welcome to your post-baby workout. Most new moms are rightfully concerned about
their figures after they give birth. Now, likely you've put on a minimum of thirty pounds,
which is natural. Don't worry. It's going to come off. 80 percent of any sort of getting
into shape route is your diet, not going to lie. Right? So, 20 percent is your workout.
That said, your workout can help motivate you to eat a little bit cleaner, so they go
hand in hand.
Now, for a woman who has just given birth, one of the things you're most concerned with
is your core. Right? You've been carrying around all this weight in your midsection
for a very long time. Some great moves that you can do to help begin to tighten that section
up again and stabilize your core involve using the physioball. Which is why my recommendation
for new moms, I think the best piece of equipment you can buy, most *** for your buck, is a
physioball. Why? Because you can do the exercises that you need on it, it's portable, you can
use it in your bedroom or in your living room with your baby right by your side which is
nice, doesn't make a lot of noise so the baby could be sleeping. It also activates the core
and it allows for modification. You can use the ball to modify a lot of different moves.
So, I'm going to show you guys a couple of different things that you can do, and there's
various ways that you can modify to make it more or less intense. But I'm showing it to
you guys here, because each person is a different height. I'm 5' 8'', so I need a physioball
that's a different size than you at home might need. So, just make sure that, you know, proportionally
it kind of looks like this, and it's going to be a good size for you to use. Next thing
you want to do is make sure that you have your yoga mat. So if you don't have a yoga
mat, you can use a towel at home. Just, something to protect yourself from the floor. The best
thing about these workouts is that you can do them at home, with your baby by your side,
which is a nice way for a new mom to bond with your little one. Hope you enjoyed, good
luck!
