Do you want to workout but have no time because you take care of your kids 24/7?šāāļøP.83
OR maybe you donāt have kiddos and still have a hard time getting a workout in (sometimes you need to rest too)! Itās time to do some āpelvic floor snacksā!šā¬ļø
I started doing cardio for 1-5 min vs 30-60 min walking or running and it changed my life (and body composition + strength!)šā¬ļø
AND STOP the KEGELS and START the functional exercise! Most people donāt need kegels but stretching + functional exercise instead!š¤Æ
High impact classes, cardio, and lifting are soooo fun (and I canāt lie I miss being able to workout for 1-2 hours) BUT being a full time mom and trying to also run my business gives me limited time to myself so most days itās 15 min of exerciseš
If you are someone that has NO time to workout or a busy schedule then donāt worry you arenāt alone! Best MOM HACK I have discovered for this issue is working out with your kiddos and doing EXERCISE SNACKS! (Obviously the more kids you have the harder it gets so be patient w/ your healing journey!)ā¤ļø
There are a variety of factors that you just canāt control during pregnancy, labor, and postpartumā¦(like an emergency c-section)ā¬ļø
So it is important to focus on all the things you can control like EXERCISE! Itās important to prepare mentally, and physically for whatever comes your way. Thatās why I recommend patients see or talk with a pelvic floor PT at least once during pregnancy and again pp!
Iām 8 months post VBAC here doing the SAME exercises I used to keep me healthy and protect my belly and pelvic floor before and after my pregnancy!ā¬ļø
In video doing alt. lunge jumps 30 sec x 3-6 reps (you can just step back and forth instead too!)
