I'm just now remembering that even in my prepregnancy training I gave myself a recovery workout once a week. I'm limping today and decided to pull this recovery DVD out. I needed it! My poor muscles. I can only describes this was flu like aches and pains. Lesson learned. This workout is just what I needed. Lots of muscle and body weight control. Lots of stretching. Lots of balance work.

Post pregnancy weight loss questions

(Nervous sharing)
Prepregnancy: 110lbs. Pregnant: 147, gained 37. 1wk post postpartum: 126, lost 21
I'm 6wks postpartum and 124!!! I'm breastfeeding. I started working out last week and actually went up 122-124. 😠
I'm eating healthy.
(1) What's with the stall?
(2) I start work in 6 weeks. I refuse to spend money on bigger jeans. Will I fit back into my jeans?
(3) Is that last 12-14lbs possible? Even with breastfeeding?

Note, in hind sight I'd modify this workout down to 5s and not 10s. 10s are great if your doing untimed with 4 sets and maybe 20 tri dips. This workout felt great and got me sweating in a short in tense time. It's was necessary since Seth went to work later and I had limited time this morning. Running was rained out and morning play date walk was canceled do to feverish kiddo. Carpe diem! Or the morning in this case. ANYONE WHO KNOWS ME, knows I'm NOT an AM sweater.

Consistency is IMPORTANT in working out, why?

Working out with consistency is important for achieving fitness results. Creating a workout plan will help you to achieve greater consistency. A commitment to a regular workout regimen will increase your fitness level, improve your health and generate a greater sense of mental well being.

Creating a Workout Plan to Achieve Consistency

Committing to a fitness regimen means mapping out a plan for an activity or a series of activities that can be done with consistency. For some people, it is common to become energized about working out and jump right in. In these cases, unless there is a long-term plan in place or some thought has gone into how the fitness activity will be sustained, there is often a drop off in enthusiasm, resulting in inconsistency.
A well thought out fitness plan will go a long way in helping you to reach your goals. To achieve consistency, you will want to think about the types of exercise that you can do on a regular basis. You will want to exercise at least three to four times per week for the best results. Getting a gym membership, purchasing home exercise equipment, investing in exercise DVDs or buying a bicycle may be some of the things you want or need to work out with consistency.

Scheduling Your Workout

Once you have decided on the type of exercise you want to engage in, creating consistency means being realistic about how much time you need to devote to your regular exercise regimen. Create a workout schedule that involves at least a few minutes a day for a warm up, 20 minutes for a cardio activity and additional time for strength training and a cool down. Even better, find a workout that combines the two for a harder, fasting and more productive sweat session. You might write down your schedule to solidify your commitment to your exercise plan. It's like an appointment with your self (a VIP).

The Impact of Consistency on Physical Health

Working out with consistency is important for your physical health. Running for five miles on one day only to avoid exercising for the next two weeks will only leave you feeling sore. It is too straining for the body to experience sporadic spurts of strenuous exercise. For optimal results, you will want to build up to higher and higher levels of cardiovascular strength, flexibility and strength training. A gradual increase in intensity will allow your muscles, tendons and ligaments a chance to adjust to the strains and challenges of a fitness regimen.

Consistent Workouts and Mental Health

A consistent workout regimen reduces stress and increases your mental well being. When you work out regularly, your body releases endorphins that enhance your mood. You have probably experienced these positive feelings after finishing a cardiovascular workout. You might also find that when you go for days or weeks of not exercising, your energy level decreases and your mood is not as heightened.
Sticking to a regular exercise regimen will keep you feeling revived both physically and mentally. When you exercise with consistency, your muscles will develop gradually and your mind will experience reduced levels of stress and greater relaxation.
