Under: Mom Tips
The answer is yes. I have had four kids and nursed all of them until they were a year old. After giving birth I waited about 4-6 weeks before I started working out. The best thing to do is nurse or pump and then do your workout. You will feel better jumping around and your baby will be happy. Also make sure to have a good supportive sports bra.
I am a stay at home mother of 4 children eight and under. There is not a lot of extra time to go to the gym and working out. So I do my workouts at home. There are a ton of workout videos to choose from when it comes to working out at home and I am one to try them all. I had my fourth child in April of 2009. Two months after having him, I decided to do the p90x lean program. I started out doing it everyday, but having four kids at home I was limited to 3 times a week. So while it took me longer than 90 days I still saw results. In the beginning I could do absolutely no push ups or pull ups; I could not make it through the whole video doing everything properly; I could not do and still have a hard time doing the Ab Ripper, but I try to be careful since my abs are split from having children. While doing p90x I lost 15 pounds. I went down 3 or 4 pant sizes. I am definitely stronger and leaner. I can actually do push ups now after doing the p90x. I am still not where I want to be, but that is why I keep pushing play. Now I also do some Insanity, and have also done Billy's Boot Camp. I like to mix it up, but my favorite is the P90x.
