Your body

Loss of personal confidence can be a big factor for many
women post the birth of a child. How you feel about how
you look can affect your own self-perception. Getting
back in shape may really matter to you.
Please send us your views. Have you got back in shape?
Have you found the time?Have you got encouragement to do so from your nearest
and dearest, or have you just given up and given your
old clothes away to the jumble sale?
A couple of comments may encourage you to share your
views with us.
"I was pretty fit before having my daughter and
really intended to get back in shape. The problem has
been finding the time and the energy. Two years on I
still have my wardrobe split pre pregnancy and post
pregnancy and I wish I could tone up. My stomach is
still in a sad state.
Finding time has been the hardest thing. I manage to
take exercise on holiday when my partner is around during
the day, but the thought of going to the gym after work,
when I want to get back home is a real turn off. Also,
I'm often too tired by 7.00pm."

One product that is good because
it's flexible is the 'Getting
Back' video by Deborah Mackin.
The video recognises that time is an issue and
is split into colour coded timed sections so you
can fast forward to the bit you want to do if
you haven't got time for the whole programme.
It is split between a gentle programme for women
to start almost immediately after childbirth and
a more energetic programme for women after their
six-week check-up. It also has a practical nutrition
section. The exercises are good and my stomach
muscles are toning up.

Pilates has recently got an excellent press for offering
pregnant women a good way of exercising in order to
regain their figures soon after birth. Ideally, you
should start Pilates exercises prior to getting pregnant,
but they can be started during pregnancy if properly
supervised initially. The link below goes through to
a site that lists all approved pilates instructors in
UK.
