Workout results?

Question

I need some motivation. I'm relatively skinny, but definitely out of shape. I just had two babies 16 months apart. I'm real weak and have barely any muscle, and get tired easily. Can anyone share some skinny/out of shape to toned/healthy before and afters?

Answer

The best advice I can give if you’re skinny and feel weak is to first focus on eating as much protein as you can. If you like salmon, chicken, beans, nuts, pork, etc, then I’d make sure you’re consuming the right foods to fuel your body, especially your muscles. THEN, you can add in some lifting. Don’t worry about buying weights or a gym membership, I’d just lift those babies and alternate doing upper body one day and legs the next. Like today: lift your heaviest baby and aim to do 10 good, slow, low squats an hour. Then tomorrow: 10 reps of lifting your baby/babies out in front with straight arms, then overhead, again, per hour. 
Hope this helps or at least gives you some ideas.

Wow babies 16 months part!!! That’s wonderful, but definitely tough on your body having back to back pregnancies like that. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to recover and get your muscle tone back. Ladies that bounce back so quickly is definitely not the norm! 
Here’s my postpartum journey from 2-3 months postpartum to about 8 months. All done at home with my little one by my side (or sleeping)! You got this Momma!!
