The Best Exercise Routine For New Moms in 2024

I am being coerced into writing this. As it is something I do not do but should be doing.
I guess it is in hope that by writing this, I will improve. I must, I will but why is it so hard?!

Anyway, in this post I will be sharing with you all the exercise routine my husband and brother so kindly gifted me. Let’s get fit together, mama.
Tip: let your babies/toddlers see you exercise, it is such a good habit for them to emulate. Seeing it early on from you, will teach them to incorporate it into their life which is so beneficial.

I usually start off with stretches. All the way up to touch the sky and then down to touch my toes (yes, I can touch my toes. Most days) I do this 10 times.

Then cat cows. If you don’t know how to do it, I suggest watching this video. Do 5 sets of 10

Next, we move on to deadlifts. ( I use a 35-pound kettlebell). I would not advise doing this if you dont have someone who is trained to show you how to do it correctly.

I finish off with dead bugs. 5 sets of 10

Building core strength stabilizes back muscles, promotes postural control and improves balance and breathing. I know I could use some of that. How about you ?

I try to do this in the mornings about 3 or 4 times a week and it takes about 25 or 30 minutes. Not bad right?
Staying consistent is usually the problem. If you have the habit of falling off, like I do. Just begin again and keep doing that.

What does your exercise routine look like?/Are you consistent?

’til next week,
