"No Time" Fitness
Once Baby Arrives, a Little Fitness Goes a Long Way
By Charlene Torkelson
Strength exercises help build muscle and tone. Even if you begin to lose weight from aerobics, you will soon discover that building muscle and tone is imperative to feeling good about your fitness. Strength exercises can be sit-ups and push-ups, of course. They can also be exercises like lifting your baby. Any exercise that involves lifting weight will firm and tone your muscles. So you are probably already doing some additional strength training.
Fitness is not only a matter of losing weight, but also a matter of keeping a healthy body. A healthy body helps us all to cope with everyday stress as well as feeling more energetic and full of life. Having a newborn baby certainly is a time in your life that should be filled with energy and newness. Fitness can go a long way in making it feel wonderful.
