On days that I just don't feel like working out I head outside for some cardio intervals. I make myself take the long route--if I get there I have to get back, right! I jog for a few minutes and sprint for 30 seconds. After the initial 5 minutes of huffing and puffing my mood has improved and the workout continues. Right now I am not jogging and sprinting, due to coming off bed rest, but I interval my walks with hills. Moms with 2+ children in the stroller--you can do it too, you just have to work harder!

Yay!! Thank you soooooo much! I'm excited. :)
Thanks so much. This schedule helps so much. I could not really wrap my brain around what to do with all the videos I have, plus I want to add running back in to my life at some point. I could easily swap a run for a bootcamp day right? That would be my cardio? I did the CMJ yesterday! WOW!!it wooped me...I have almost all of your videos and love the. This schedule helps me utilize those tools. (a little aside, my husband, and my son both love when I do your videos. My son is wondering when I am going to do the Core video, or as he calls it the blue one again..and put on my skinny jeans.)
Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy! You are over the half way mark right???
Yeah just what I needed! I started day one today!
I'll tell you a secrest if you tell me one. I am week 25 and am continuing to use all of your regular vidoes (i.e. not prenatel)b/c nothing gets me worked out other than them. Am I crazy? Would you also continue to exercise at this level throughout your pregnancy? Do you think I can do these four new DVDs now also?
Hi Lindsay- I just got the approval from my ob to start working out again (my baby is 7 weeks old). I googled for a postnatal workout and found your Post Natal Boot Camp and ordered it online. Just did my first workout today! I'm incorporating it with walking with my two little ones as well. I'll be praying for a healthy pregnancy for you! ~Nicole
Janine-You got it, you can switch a run for a BC day and that would be your cardio. CMJ has been wooping everybody, including myself when filming! And maybe your son like the videos cause I look like I am his age-haha! Thanks for the well wishes, half-way there although it feels like forever since I was on bed rest for 14 weeks. Ah well, a healthy baby is a good trade for some xtra cellulite and misery!!!
Hey anonymous! I would not recommend my 4 new videos during pregnancy for a couple reasons-the core work would be too much and a lot of it is not safe this far in your pregnancy. But I would be happy to help you with a schedule that works for you and that you feel is challenging enough. I did my prenatal videos, kickboxing and some jogging intervals myself--but never to the point I couldn't speak a full sentence while doing it. Email themoms@momsintofitness.com and they will forward it to me so we can make a schedule that works for you!!!!
Nicole, thank you! And keep me posted on your progress! Boot Camp is still one of my favortie workouts.
Lindsay,
I believe I remember reading that after you had Taylor, you did BC with the 10 min segments of exercise 3 times throughout the day to burn the most calories. My question is: did you do the warm up and cool down before and after every 10 min segment? And did you do the same cardio/toning segment for each 10 min interval (so basically repeating it 3 times per day? And then how does the core exercises fit in there? It just seems that would add up to more than 30 min/day. I hope my questions make sense and thanks so much for all your blog advice and DVDs!
Ashley-you are sooo right! The math doesn't add up. Most of the time I was warmed up from running around the house (although I do recommend doing the warm-up). And I usually did the core exercises right before bed...not always following my DVD because I kind of know it by heart. And I always did different 10 minute workout throughout the day--studies prove intense 30 minute bouts are equally if not more beneficial than a 30 minute continuous workout. Just make sure you do toning every other day, cardio can be done everyday. mix it up and have fun!
