PUT YOUR MUSCLES IN MOTION. Add resistance training to your aerobic workouts. It's the smartest health move U can make to get back in shape! After a baby, your metabolic rate (the rate at which your body burns calories) is slower. Weight training increases your metabolic rate so that your body will burn calories more efficiently. WHAT I DID: Quickie workouts on the web. Try Regaining Your Body.
GET TA STEPPIN'. Take a stroll for 20 - 30 minutes three to five days a week to help burn post-baby calories. A 30-minute brisk walk pushing a stroller burns about 170 calories (for a 170-pound new mom).
REACH OUT for support from other moms who have "been there done that." Because getting your body back in shape includes not only your physical well being, but your mental and emotional well being, too. WHAT I DID Talked it out with other new moms at work, at church, in my neighborhood - even the grocery store.
