| I’be had a very difficult pregnancy with extended bed rest and semi-debilitating pelvic pain once I was finally cleared from bed rest. I’ve gained a ton of weight and generally feel weak and terrible. I can’t wait to start getting back into shape after I have this baby and I’m looking for advice on at home workout programs that you’ve liked. I’ve always been an avid gym goer and never done an at home program - my last two pregnancies I just used the gym childcare and went pretty much every single day, but obviously that’s not possible now. I’d particularly like a program that starts very gentle as I’ve had tearing my last two deliveries that took a while to feel 100% and I’d guess I’ll have the same this delivery. |

| How about trying out postpartum yoga workouts? There are a lot on youtube and you could try to find the right level of energy/a teacher you like |

| You might try the fit4baby series offered by fit4mom. It’s pre and post natal, with lots of modifications. You could make it a much more gentle workout. |

| Walking, it was my favorite activity and I could do it with the baby in any weather (except heavy rain or snow). Just bundle the baby super well, and go walk while she’s sleeping. |

| Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be able to do the long walks with this baby that I enjoyed with my last. My oldest is 6 and doesn’t really fit in the double stroller and isn’t capable of long walks/scooter rides (he has some physical developmental issues). I think I’d benefit most from a structured program I can do at home. Definitely looking into the sweat app and Momma Strong - thanks for the recs and I’d love any others that anyone else has enjoyed! |

| I love Barre3 and did it consistently for 2 yrs after having my second. You can make it easier with modifications or go all out with heavier weights. Or try the prenatal ones to ease in. |

| There’s an app called Matriarc that leads you through the first two months of core rehab exercises. It’s 7-10 minutes per day and starts incredibly gently, slowly building up to more Pilates moves. Highly recommend for a gentle first step to help strengthen your core before taking on any more strenuous exercise. |
