Is it bad to do HIIT Workouts?

Question

I’m 3 months PP and was wondering if it is bad to do such intense workouts already? I haven’t worked out so intense since before I got pregnant. I gained so much weight during pregnancy i am 50 pounds from where I want to be so I want to make a change and start but was wondering if it’s bad to just go for it..?

Answer

It really depends on what you do...if you lift too heavy or do a lot of high impact you could easily fuck up your pelvic floor, especially if you don’t know what you’re doing or aren’t familiar with controlling your intraabdominal pressure properly.  Plus if you have any abdominal separation you will undoubtedly make that worse if you go too hard too soon.  Things to consider.  But hey, if you don’t mind peeing your pants or want to have a baby pooch forever, go for it.

Answer

Probably best to ease into the work outs since its been a while since you've done HIIT workouts.
After a few weeks you can always step-up the intensity.

Answer

I was told to ease into working out. I’m 3 months pp and I have a lot of pain if I go up and down my stairs too much
