Exercise tips

I’m going to be up front I HATE exercising but I hate the weight more. I was a pant size 00 when hub and I met and tbh even I thought I looked scary small. I got up to a size 8-10 ish around the time the photo of me in the orange was taken. Now, post baby I’m a size 16. My goal is to get back down around size 10-12 to start. Before I was super active. I was hiking, biking, running, just always outside doing. I can’t really hike, bike, or run anymore. I had severe DVTs in my left leg (basically I had 6 blood clots from my thigh to my ankle) and now anything that requires long durations of stress on my legs causes me to swell so bad I can’t walk.

I want some exercises I can do from home that won’t stress my legs so bad but still be effective. I have a toddler now so things I can do here and there while she naps, etc would be great.

Also please be kind. I deal with enough body shaming from my family. Before I was “Too small and needed to eat” and now I’m “Too big and look lazy.” The worst part is I see other ladies my size/shape and think they’re beautiful just not me.

As a busy mom, finding time to exercise can be a challenge, especially when dealing with physical limitations due to past health issues. Focus on low-impact workouts that can fit into short breaks during your toddler's naps. Consider engaging in activities like seated leg lifts, gentle yoga, or resistance band exercises, which can provide strength training without putting undue stress on your legs. Additionally, it's important to stay motivated and set realistic fitness goals. Using online resources, like workout videos specifically designed for mothers, can help you find enjoyable routines that cater to your energy levels. Furthermore, incorporating playtime with your child into your fitness routine can make exercising more fun and less daunting. Keep in mind that every small effort counts on your journey to becoming fitter!
