CrossFit, a year postpartum?

Question

I’m almost a year postpartum and looking into doing CrossFit. I have never worked out so idk what to expect. Is it better than going to the gym? I have had 2 csections in 2 years and my stomach area is bad:(

Answer

CrossFit is very intense so if you’re not used to that kind of workout I would definitely visit your doctor first to make sure you don’t have any underlying or unknown health issues that could cause harm while doing intense workouts.

Answer

I’ve been doing CrossFit for 6 years. I did it through my entire pregnancy with my daughter (who is 2 now) and I am currently 15 weeks pregnant again and still doing it. No matter what kind of shape you’re in or what your fitness level is, there are modifications for everything that you can do! If you talk to a coach, they will give you modifications to start out with and you move on to the next as you feel comfortable! I personally was terrified to start CF but it is the only type of workout that I have been able to stick to since starting it. :)
