New to the Gym ๐ Advice?
I have never been a fitness girl but I had my daughter 4 months ago and Iโm trying to rebuild my body. I really wanna focus on losing fat in my arms, belly, and back, while building muscle in my legs, glutes, and back. Glutes, not hips. Iโve been doing cardio for about 20 minutes to start, then I do triceps, biceps and forearms. Weighted squats, bridges, and lunges. Butterfly kicks, crunches, and Russian twists. I donโt really know what Iโm doing and donโt have anyone to guide meโฆ any tips? I really want to do this for myself. Thank you ๐ซถ๐ซถ

Starting a gym journey can be both exciting and intimidating, especially for new moms looking to reshape their bodies. To effectively lose fat in specific areas like the arms, belly, and back, it's essential to establish a balanced routine. Incorporating a mix of cardiovascular exercises, such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming, for at least 150 minutes per week will help burn calories while also including strength training exercises at least two days a week for muscle building. Weighted squats, bridges, lunges, and crunches are excellent for targeting the desired areas. For further support, considering joining a fitness class or online community can provide guidance and motivation. Engaging with others can foster accountability and boost confidence. Remember, consistency is key! Celebrate small victories along the way and don't hesitate to adjust your routine based on your body's needs. Equip yourself with knowledge through fitness forums and expert resources to enhance your workouts and achieve your goals effectively.

Hi! Congratulations on your baby love!!๐ you donโt have to take any of this advice btw ๐ but I just had my baby two months ago and Iโve noticed a big difference when I started doing โyoga core burnโ every other day in the morning before eating and before any lifted weights! Basically start with a stomach vacuum and Iโm sure there are tons on YouTube explaining and then doing different planks (front and sides working your way from elbow up to extended arms each week) and then activate your core and focus on breathing while doing things like dead bug or toe taps! If focusing on your glutes and legs RDLs will help and lifted one leg lunges with weights! Try breaking up your muscle groups to work them on different days and if you only can manage one or two days out the week do full body those days! When doing Russian twists make sure not to add weight if youโre trying to slim in that area. Focus on strengthening your core and activating it when doing that vs adding weight for the twists. Also try eating your carbs before a big workout so you can use that for fuel and it wonโt just sit in your body and try eating at least 100 grams of protein a day! Just moving your body in general is amazing especially with a newborn youโre doing great!!! YOU GOT THIS MAMA! You look incredible btw๐
