The solution to a smoother postpartum recovery?<br />
Strength training.<br />
Depending on your experience with it, you<br />
might be imagining heavy barbells and<br />
intense workouts. Strength training in<br />
pregnancy is different.<br />
The key is lifting heavy enough weights<br />
(for you) to actually challenge your<br />
muscles. Lifting 3- and 5-pound dumbbells<br />
isn’t going to be enough to help you build<br />
the strength you will need to carry your<br />
15-pound, 3-month-old baby.<br />
But you don’t need to be an expert weight<br />
trainer either. You don’t need bootcamps<br />
that drown you in a pile of sweat. You do<br />
need to progressively build up your core<br />
strength with short, effective workouts that<br />
leave you stronger and energized.<br />
Strength training NOW, in pregnancy,<br />
can help you drastically reduce your aching<br />
hips, sore low back and tight neck and<br />
shoulders. Strength training is the key for<br />
a strong and energized pregnancy and<br />
a smoother postpartum recovery.<br />
I know you can’t wait to kiss those baby<br />
toes and enjoy some newborn snuggles.<br />
But beyond soaking up every ounce of<br />
joy a baby brings, what is your dream<br />
for YOU after baby?<br />
Maybe it looks like walking to the park,<br />
baby snuggled in a sling and your back<br />
is strong enough to take it. Or joining your<br />
family on a hike with your 9-month-old<br />
secure on your back. Or you’re running<br />
marathons again, cheered on by your<br />
children, without peeing your pants.<br />
You deserve all of this and more.<br />
The first step? Strengthen your entire body,<br />
starting with strengthening your core from<br />
the inside out.<br />
Your future self, babe in arms,<br />
will thank you.<br />
