HOW I TONED MY MOMBOD

I’m a mom of 2 and and restoring my core after both kids has been a huge priority for me!

Here’s what helped me lose the baby weight and restore my core.

1. Walking, walking, walking!!!!! We hear it constantly, but there’s a reason. Walking, specifically inclined, has helped me shed so much weight and be low impact. Getting in steps every single day is so important.

2. Eating smaller portions. I still what I love, in smaller portions. I try my best to eat clean but sometimes a girl craves cookies or ice cream. Eat what you love and eat balanced in moderation! DO NOT RESTRICT YOURSELF.

3. Less weight lifting. This may be controversial… I backed off on weight lifting. The more I weight lifted, the more weight I gained and the more I binge ate. I still weight lift! But I don’t go heavy. 5lb dumbbells and more reps have been a game-changer for me.

4. Deep core exercises. I do core exercises EVERY. SINGLE. DAY! Whether you’re at the gym, at home, even in bed… Take 5-10 minutes every day to do deep core exercises. Most of the time I just follow youtube videos and it has transformed my core.

As many mothers find themselves navigating the journey of postpartum recovery, it’s important to acknowledge the challenges that come with it. Toning your mombod involves more than just physical activity; it requires a holistic approach to wellness. Begin with simple steps like incorporating endorphin-boosting walks into your daily routine. Research suggests that walking, especially at an incline, not only aids in weight management but also enhances mood and overall fitness levels. Adjusting portion sizes can also make a significant difference. Embrace the concept of eating what you love in moderation without feeling guilty. It’s equally crucial to focus on sustainable workouts; light weight-lifting can promote muscle tone while avoiding the pitfalls of excessive calorie burning that often lead to binge eating. Lastly, prioritize core exercises. Studies highlight the effectiveness of short, consistent workout sessions tailored to strengthen the core. YouTube offers a wealth of resources with specialized postpartum workouts designed specifically for mothers. Ultimately, your journey is unique, and it’s essential to listen to your body, celebrating each small victory along the way.
