It’s common knowledge that one way to help fight off postpartum depression is to return to physical activity soon after your baby is born. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is behind the message. Your doctor will tell you exactly when it’s OK to resume or begin an exercise program, of course. But as soon as she says it’s alright, it’s up to you to make it happen.
It’s vitally important to your physical and mental well-being that you choose an exercise program that is a stress reliever, and not a stress provoker! Having someone you trust that’s ready to watch your baby for a few hours a week is essential. Sleep deprivation, low thyroid levels, and weight gain can all cause you to feel overwhelmed. Exercise can help.
One way that many new moms are getting their bodies back, and protecting their mental health, is by participating in a regular Body Barre workout. No previous group fitness or dance experience is needed to enjoy the great benefit that Body Barre offers. Madonna, Kelly Ripa, Natalie Portman, and many other celebrities trust their high profile physiques to working with persona trainers, and even brand new moms find this workout easily customizable too many levels of ability.
The workout is an hour long and specifically designed to transform your body; combined strength training, interval training, and stretching results in a longer and leaner physique. Using a traditional ballet barre provides you with an additional level of interest that challenges and sculpts your muscles. Students see results after completing only ten classes.
