I have just started (today) bootcamp to get myself fit and loose some weight (would like to loose at least 10kgs) before we start ttc - I have spoked to the PT and we are going to work on my core as its not flash after my c-sect, so I can pass on what ever info her gives me and you can try that at home??
Good luck ladies and we can do it!!

Kate - you rock Thanks chick.

To strengthen your core and supportive muscles, I'm a HUGE advocate of clinical pilates. I do this with a physio to help my back (I have slipped discs) and it has helped HUGELY. In addition to that, I do Personal Training 1:1 twice a week - our sessions compliment physio sessions and vice versa

No....I promise I won't - but I can't speak for the others .

Come, come to the dark side .

Hi guys

Lilias, firstly I apologise for not replying to your PM. Things get on top of me sometimes, and I wanted to give it full attention.

Anyway, I couldn't go past this thread without replying!

Firstly in the interests of full disclosure, I'm involved with the advertising of this program (I don't work for the company and don't get any comissions or anything like that.... and sorry if this sounds evangelist) but I'm happy to give you the name of a "way of eating" that's healthy, and (I know for myself personally and my mum too) enables weight loss. It's not faddy (not like atkins etc) and there are no shakes or whatever involved but I'm sure I'd be breaking some forum rule if I posted the name so PM me if you want the details. It's based on fresh yummy food and also helps me with higher and more stabilised energy.

Secondly, there is lots and lots that you can do at home without fancy equipment. I do see a personal trainer once a week, but even there many of the exercises we do are just our bodies and the floor. Google burpees and you'll see what I mean

I'd suggest starting out with a program that is easily achievable, rather than a high goal that you'll have trouble maintaining. Charts work well for me, I like ticks in boxes Also organise to do things with other people, it keeps me honest and it's harder to "sag out" LOL

Maybe you could work out activities that include your little ones, maybe you could say Mummy needs to do 5 (or 50! ) burpees can you count or something like that? Or running around and chasing games? As silly as it sounds I run from room to room during the day sometimes, as DS (14 mos) loves chasey and I know it gets me moving for a second or to as well!

I'm not a personal trainer, but I could certainly tell you some of the exercises my trainer had me doing during my PG and to shape up afterwards? My advice would be to undertake a healthy eating program, start out doing something that gets you a bit sweaty 2 times a week and then a strength session. Then be guided by your body?

That's a bit waffly, hope it makes sense!!

just subscribing..
honestly atm im still a little lazy, i was (before pg) a bit of a gym junkie, and oh what i would give to be able to afford my PT and of course have the time to do it. ATm for me thats the main thing, i cant seem to find the time t work out.
We will br ttc at the end of next year (i realise that is a LONG time away) but i need to loose about 8-10kgs and get properly fit and healthy before i go having another baby.
