Now that I'm finally feeling better, the working out is on. Twice a week is my goal - once during the school week and once on the weekend. Fair enough, right, considering I have a small human being running the show around here?
The best videos I have found are FREE on Youtube. They're made by a woman who goes by Dr. Cathy - she's a nutritionist and a chiropractor, has two children and has a banging body. But what I love about her is that she filmed her workouts in her backyard so they're very personal. You feel like she's talking directly to you, coaching you through it. What's even better is that the videos are only in the 7-8 minute range, so even if you don't have time to do a couple different videos twice, you can fit in a quick one and feel good about it. I don't know about you other pregos, but a 60-minute pilates session sounds horrible whilst carrying around a lemon-sized baby.
Dr. Cathy has five different videos - a warm-up, biceps & legs, chest & triceps, back & butt, and my personal favorite - yoga. None of them are too challenging, they're just enough so you feel refreshed and strong. I used these videos up until I went into labor with Patrick, so even when your baby is no longer lemon-sized but watermelon-sized, they're doable.
Another bonus is that you don't need a ton of gear. I hate gear.
{And if you only have one set of weights or you only feel comfortable with the lighter set, no biggie.}
I even used her videos after I had Patrick. Well, like twice. Happy exercising!
