So many moms ask me if it’s truly possibly to get back the body they had prior to baby. The answer is, “yes…and it can be even better than before!” From personal experience I admit that my body has definately changed since having two children, but I think in big part it’s because of the exercises I’m doing now vs. due to having kids (besides the change in my breasts from nursing!). Prior to having children I used to lift heavy weights and do a ton of the stairmaster and teaching classes. After having children I cut way down on my weight lifting, increased my yoga, taught less, and exercise outside vs. on a stairmaster. The yoga has made my muscles longer vs. thick and bunchy, and modifying my exercises so I’m not over-working my muscles has improved my muscle tone. My advice is this, believe that you can have your body back and enjoy the exercises you do. Remember everything in moderation!
