Post-Pregnancy Fitness Inspiration: New Mum Shares Workout Routine 17 Days After Giving Birth
Many mums are taking the bull by the horn when it comes to fitness, especially mums who just had children. Peta Murgatroyd is one of those mums. She is a professional athlete and Dancing with the stars TV show contestant.
The new mum welcomed her baby boy Shai Alexander on the 4th of January,with her fiance Maksim Chmerkovskiy, who also is on the show.
The 30 year old momma, shared a picture of herself with her post partum body on Instagram on Saturday with the caption, “Love thy self.”. She went on to explain that she is getting back into a workout routine to feel better, not just to look better.
#Day17 postpartum. I think I’m doing ok….and I’m actually fine with the rate at which my body is shrinking back. After 2 days back at the gym I’m feeling like the old Peta again. I definitely don’t have my 6 pack, and I still have excess skin and rolls on my belly, however I feel good. After all, slow and steady wins the race! I knew I needed to get back into the gym for my own sanity, but I also remind myself (as does Maks ????) that I still need to take it easy. I cannot jump yet and still can’t run a mile, but the exercises I’ve planned out are a good start. Honestly, the hardest part for me is getting my core strength back. Day 1 I couldn’t do a sit up, here’s day 17 and I’m doing 70+ ????????????????????????
The athlete shared via her post that although she prides herself in being fit and lean, she is determined and advises other ladies to take it one step at a time. She went on to share that there is nothing like hard work, but having a supportive environment around you will go a long way.
