So I\u2019ve reached the 6 week post baby place. This is usually when you get an appointment with your GP and hopefully are given the green light to exercise. In my GP surgery the 6 week check is carried out at 8 weeks. Fortunately as a specialist in the antenatal and postnatal fitness arena I know what exercise is safe to do at this stage, so this weekend I made a start. I\u2019d love to go for a run and do some high impact work, but I\u2019m very aware that my core is not as strong as I\u2019d like it to be yet and my pelvic floor is still regaining strength. Also Relaxin is still in my system making my joints prone to overstretching. So I\u2019m being patient and holding back. Doing high impact activites such as running, jumping, aerobics can put extra strain on your pelvic floor and joints. So my thoughts and advice are to take it easy and go for low impact options after birth until you have regained some core strength first, this is like your foundation for all other exercise. \u00a0My Exercise this week:<\/span> I\u2019m doing some Pilates pretty much everyday. Just 15 minutes is really making a difference and I am now so much stronger than I was. I\u2019m loving 1\/2 roll ups, swimming in hands and knees and shoulder bridges with knee folds. I’ve even done a bit of Pilates with baby asleep in the sling \ud83d\ude09 Hard work indeed!<\/p>\n

\"Pilates<\/a><\/p>\n

At the weekend I did my first weights session. I focused on squats, lunges, chest presses, shoulder rows and modified press ups. My toddler joined me with her imaginery weights and baby kicked along to the music on his playmat. Exercising with children can be done! It was nice to feel my muscles the next day! Walking is key for me too, I\u2019m making sure I get a walk in 3 time a week, usually this is with baby in the sling or pushing the baby and toddler in the buggy – both make for a good workout \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
