Postpartum Weight Loss- Exercise While Youâre Cooking
May 28, 2008 on 10:55 pm | In Uncategorized | Comments OffSo you want to exercise but you just don’t feel that you have the time? I say, “Fit it in whenever, and wherever you can!” While you’re cooking you can strengthen and tone your calfs by doing calf lifts. Begin standing with your feet shoulder width apart. As you lift up on to the balls of your feet tighten your buttocks. Repeat for 10-20 reps. On the second set bring your feet all the way together. As you raise up onto the balls of your feet sqeeze your inner thigh muscles and your buttocks. Repeat for 10-20 reps. For set three stay on the balls of your feet and pluse with your feet shoulder width for ten and ten pulses feet together. While you pulse continue to tighten your buttocks.

Postpartum Weight Loss- Eat Breakfast
May 23, 2008 on 8:48 pm | In Uncategorized | Comments OffIf you want to lose weight then break the “fast” and eat breakfast! Many clients say, “I just don’t like breakfast.” Breakfast doesn’t have to be at 6 or 7 a.m., it should be when you first feel hungry. The reason why breakfast is so important is because it starts your metabolism going so you’ll burn calories more efficiently. For this reason breakfast can be the largest of the 3 main meals. Dinner should be your smallest meal because within a couple hours you will be going to bed and that’s when you’ll burn the least amount of calories.
Postpartum Weight Loss- Whatâs Your Excuse?
May 14, 2008 on 10:52 pm | In Uncategorized | Comments OffHaving been personal trainer for 16 years I’ve heard EVERY excuse in the book why clients didn’t have the time to exercise. You have to decide what your priorities are, and then take action. If you really want to lose weight, do something! Even if you walk for 5 min., that’s 5 min. longer than you did the day before. If each day you increase your walk by 5 min. within a week you’ll be walking for 35 minutes!
Postpartum Weight Loss- Practice Yoga!
May 9, 2008 on 11:27 pm | In Uncategorized | Comments OffMy clients are surprised when I tell them that yoga is not just for stress relief, it can give great results in weight loss and muscle tone. Certain types of yoga such as “power yoga” or “ashtanga” really boost the heart rate so you burn a bunch of calories. Yoga also incorporates balancing postures that engage the abdominal “core”, as well as postures that work all the major muscle groups such as the thighs, buttocks, back, and shoulders. Take up power yoga and watch your body,mind, and spirit transform!
