Before I got pregnant with Finley, I was in literally the best shape of my life. I had completed 2 hard sessions of Bikini Boot Camp and was going to the gym every morning at 530am before work. But then I got pregnant and I lost all real motivation to exercise. I was so sick during that pregnancy that basically all I did for exercise was get off my train 2 stops early and walk to my building and then walk to TD Square on my lunch break and walk around for an hour. That was it. Nothing else.
After I had Finley, I lost all my baby weight immediately, I never had to do any diet or exercise. I lucked out. Big time. I never really exercised after Finley was boring but I didn't have to. Looking after Finley was all I ever needed. Once she started moving, I started moving. It never stopped and it still hasn't. Soon I was back at work full time, pregnant + still running after Finley. Once pregnant with Penelope, I again just walked before and after work with Iggy and/or Finley, but nothing substantial.
Again, I was lucky enough to lose all my baby weight within 10 days of having Penelope but I did notice that despite the fact I now weighed less then I did before getting pregnant, my stomach were still flabby. I still do a lot of exercising with Finley + Penelope. We do lots of walking, running, and all kinds of fun active activities but that doesn't really help my flabby belly. I needed to do sit ups. Lots of them. LOTS.
Enter Basement Bootcamp.
Basement Bootcamp is something Greg and I started about 10 days ago. Basically around 830 every night when both F + P have gone to bed, we head down to our basement to do bootcamp. It consists of cardio, circuit training, core strengthening, ab work, yoga and I think that is it. I am on hold at the library for Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. We also use our Wii Fit + Wii Fit Plus. I really haven't noticed a difference but am hoping soon that I will!
That's an awesome idea Becky. Maybe I will get Ade involved in a basement bootcamp with me. We could definitely use or Wii Active (which I think is more effective then Wii fit) And keep going I am a little jealous of your metabolism though, lucky losing all the baby weight.... oh well I am sure mine will go soon enough!!!
