Workout fail

Cassi215 · May 2014

Tried to do a sit-up today.... Epic fail! Looks like it's going to be crunches for awhile

anyone else totally not used to the after baby/pregnancy body?

I just hate how out of shape I am in general! How a walk, however long, tires me out!!

I worked out a lot prepregnancy & was able to get back fairly easy & was surprised. However, my core (csection) & my running is shot. I had run 4 halfs and 1 full marathon within the year of getting pregnant (& a half while 4mths pregnant). I attempted jogging the other day & had to push myself to make it through 5min!!! Ugh I have so much work to do, plus still need to lose 40lbs so I feel so heavy & jiggly when running

I actually feel awesome right now because starting in the second tri I lost the ability to even walk up a half flight of stairs without getting winded. So in my mind I'm doing great! Haha. I do miss my stomach from prepregnancy though. I used to be able to poke my stomach and feel abs. Now I poke it and I feel like I could reach my organs if I prodded enough. Where did those muscles disappear to???

@Ooopsbaby14‌ - I HAAATE doing planks, but they are so effective to work your core! I should get back to them...

My first few attempts at yoga were pitiful but I'm slowly getting back into it. My leftover muffin too gets in the way though..

I can't do a push-up cuz my core is so weak! Planking has been awesome at helping get it stronger again.

I've been running twice, luckily I kept at it while pregnant up till 6 months then I switched to hiking, so the cardio part stayed somewhat in shape. I managed to run for an hour but it was so slow! It also feels unnatural, I guess just seems really hard to pick the feet up high enough, stupid csection! All that jiggly stuff sure is annoying too, the stomach I can handle but the thigh rubbing & boob bouncing is terrible!

Aren't crunches better than situps anyway? I'm not even allowed to work on my ab region yet (boo!) due to my c-section.

I went walking with a friend of mine who has a 3.5 month old. She takes her kid to like mommy and me pilates and is in awesome shape already. I was huffing and puffing trying to keep up.

It's the piles that are killing me!! I can't do any form of exercise it feels like the world is falling out my behind! Might try the plank thou

I'd love to do planks but for some reason they hurt me today. Guess I have to build up that core strength again...

I've been so disgusted with how out of shape I am I really have to keep telling myself- you just had a baby... You just had a baby... 9 months on nine months off- ha! My core is so weak, too. I definitely have to add planks to my workouts. I haven't been bumping regularly- was the fit mom Friday check-in restarted?

speechie517 · May 2014

@patunia7321‌ I feel the same way. I keep wondering why my former in shape and athletic body won't drop these pounds and I keep reminding myself that it has only been 6 weeks, and I'm not eating anywhere near as clean as I used to. I can't wait to get back in a routine.
