I'm trying to get back into some kind of workout routine, but because my husband's work hours are so long and I don't have anyone to look after LO, it looks like the gym will not be an option. My plan is to get up before LO and do a workout in the living room but I'm not sure where to start. Any suggestions?

Insanity
Jillian's 30 day shred -
@chopsuey119: I'm definitely considering 30 Day Shred, but it sounds intense! That said, it seems to get great results and I need results fairly quickly as I'm in a wedding in a month.
-
I would also have to suggest 30 day shred! I have never done it consistently (maybe for 1 week in a row) but it was awesome, it was a great workout especially if you are crunched for time! Although I have to suggest putting it on mute, Jillian can get quite annoying!
Also, order it off Amazon, you can get it for really cheap!

@meredithNYC: it's honestly the easiest at home workout I've done! Not intense at all! I lost 7lbs in 30 day doing it
watched what I ate too though.

@chopsuey119: Wow! Would love to lose that much. I probably have about 15 pounds to go to get down to pre-pregnancy weight, but I think it's going to take longer than 30 days to reach that goal. Honestly, I would be happy with 5 pounds in 30 days since I don't want to have too high of expectations.

I loved Insanity so much. I can't wait until I can get back to it (currently pregnant), I did it for 30 days and lost 14 lbs (and I was only 130 to begin with!) I had so much more energy and my body felt so much tighter. I also followed their diet plan to make sure I was getting enough protein and calories. I've never belonged to a gym and had been really inactive prior to starting, but it's okay to take breaks and not do all the reps (even the people on the video take breaks!)

30 day shred is good. Quick but it is good workout. My SIL just completed Instanity and she looks great. She is going to start it again.

@meredithNYC: i am doing the 30 day shred and it is not as bad as you think. It is the perfect length (20 minutes) so you can always squeeze in one workout a day. I no longer have a pee when i jump situation (tmi, i know) so i have been upping the intensity. Overall, it is a good workout!
-
@caffeinated: Ha! That is totally not TMI. At 11 weeks postpartum I feel like the pee trickle is still a bit of an issue. I never knew it would be like that for so long.
-
@meredithNYC: I feel your pain. It improved with physio sessions (who specializes in post-partum recovery) but I need to be diligent with my kegel exercises...did u know there are soooo many different types and purposes? I am at 4 months so don't feel too bad about your current state!
-
Really? I need to do some kegel research, apparently! And, you know, actually do them since I am super lazy about it.
watched what I ate too though.
