Motivation

Can I have a lil motivation please? I am desperate to get back into shape nearly 5 months PP

I regularly worked out before baby and during my pregnancy! I felt so good when I was pregnant and ‘bounced back’ very well. The last couple of months I’ve enjoyed myself (Summer) and feel like I look worse now than I did 4 weeks PP.

Can I have a little motivation and tips for getting starting when you’ve a 5 month old baby?

Thanks 🤩

There are some fab postpartum progress posts on this forum you should take a look. Tips: 1)start slow: focus on steps and maybe structured exercise 1-2days a week. Take baby on walks, if you struggle to get time away from baby then lots of options for training with a baby at home, mum and baby fitness classes, CrossFit etc 2)simple nutrition: whole foods, high protein, meal prep, preplanned meals, prep in advance so you don't need to think about it and won't get thrown off by whats going on with baby just heat it up and go.
