Postpartum Weight Loss- “How much is too much?”

To Sara of Fit by Sara: “I’ve been very consistent with my workouts and have noticed great results.  Sometimes I’m really tired, but I push myself to workout anyway.  Should I be working out tired?  How much is too much?”

From Sara of Fit by Sara: “That’s great that you’ve been consistent with your workouts!  And you’re right, consistency is the key to getting great results.  However when you’re tired, your body is telling you something.  It’s telling you to rest.  If you don’t rest you may end up injured and or over fatigued.  Keep with the consistency, but be sure to listen to your body and rest when you feel you need too.  I recommend 4-5 X per week of cardio (i.e., swimming, running, biking, kick boxing to get your heart rate up) for 30-45 min. and 2-4 x per week of yoga, pilates and/or light weight lifting for muscle toning. –Sara Holliday
