One of the main benefits to exercise after having a baby is it improves your mental and emotional well being.

I would probably put the importance of that over weight/fat loss. The reason is if you are mentally and emotionally in the right place, the weight loss will follow 😊👍🏻

So now I am getting a hang of this motherhood thing, it’s time to tone up.

If you need help or advise regarding exercising postpartum, reach out to me, I am always happy to help.

To a healthier fitter you mama,

Since becoming a mum it became really hard to fit in my own training sessions and just generally focus on myself.

Tiredness, lack of sleep and workload forces the exercise to take a back seat!

But today I decided that I will do something even if I have to take Lia with me and incorporate her in my session.

My session was about 20 minutes and that was enough just to feel better about myself, gain more energy and have more positive outlook on life.

To all my fellow mums, don’t put pressure on yourself to train for an hour 4 times a week. Just do a little bit of something which will make you feel better. Any workout is better than no workout 😊

I am opening a free support group for mums who wants to stay fitter, healthier and feel better mentally. Please comment your name below if you want to be added to my private group.
