3 Months Postpartum Minimal weight full body workout by Lauren Drain
Which one - Pic 1 or Pic 2? It’s so strange to wonder when will it be safe to do something as simple as venture outside, walk in the streets and get back some of our very simple yet lovely liberties. I have been using this time at home to reach out to friends and family and connect and make sure everyone is staying in good spirits. It’s easy to get lonely, bored, lose hope, focus or positivity for the fear of the unknown. I have struggled with fears, anxieties and depression before so I know all too well that isolation, loneliness, and idle time can make anxiety and depression creep in during times like this, especially given the uncertainty of how long it’ll last. Have any of you been struggling with this? Here are some ways I am combating isolation & anxiety, having been at home essentially almost everyday since Aria got here three months ago. Try down to these tips:
- GET SUNSHINE - if you can in your yard - vitamin D boosts serotonin - and naturally combats depression.
- MOVE YOUR BODY - Even if you don’t have any exercise equipment, try to do something active: plant trees/flowers, do yard work, create an at home body circuit, jump rope or do sprints outside. If you have equipment then don’t let it go to waste! I know it’s hard to motivate yourself from home but you will not regret it! The endorphins combat depression and anxiety.
- CONNECT - with family and friends via text, FaceTime, & Skype. Seeing and hearing their voices is sure to uplift your spirits.
- BE CREATIVE - Read a book, start house projects or brush up on a skill such as painting, drawing or skating.
I hope everyone is doing well during this time. Stay hopeful, patient, positive and grateful. Say positive affirmations if you need to block out some of the negativity surrounded in the media. Praying for this to all be over soon. Im doing my best to stay busy, hopeful and hope all of you are as well.
3 Months Postpartum today! What do y’all think? And A Very Happy 3 months to my babygirl! @ariaskyekagan I love you to the moon and back, my little love! My heart has never been so full. My time has never felt so special. To all my mamas out there, or future mamas, don’t fear the changes your body will go through. They will be drastic, but it will all be worth it! And the feeling of coming back after pregnancy and postpartum is such a rewarding and humbling experience! I’ve never felt so determined! I’m not quite where I want to be but I’m finally feeling myself again! #3monthspostpartum #comebackstronger #athomeworkouts #fitmamalife
