Jen- I also didn't like Kickmax as much as KPC. I'd suggest getting Lowmax- the bonus is that you get good leg work + the cardio. Kickmax has a really intense cardio segment, which I didn't care for- I wanted a full kickboxing workout- it was too much hi-lo for my taste in that segment. I'd...

Thanks, Jen! I'm cold-free, and Eric is almost there too. Now I've put my back out - grrrrr.... I'm not making excuses to not workout, honest!:o Jen V

Wow, Wendy! I'm impressed with your workouts! I had found it hard to workout, as I never knew how long my baby would sleep (colicy). Now I can do a full workout without much interruption, as his colic is waning- hurray! Last week little Eric and I got a bad cold, and I found myself...

I am so excited- Eric made major attempts tp roll over to one side from his back today! He would have succeeded too if his arm wasn't in the way...;-) I didn't do much cardio in this heat... Sun. Walking 60 min. + Cathe CTX Abs 10 min Mon. Mindy- Extreme Intervals 45 min. Tues. Kathy...

Wendy, of course you shouldn't be working out yet! Light walking is excellent though, and you'll feel as though you're doing SOMETHING. Enjoy the sunshine! My mother swears that fresh air helps a baby sleep more soundly at night. Here's the scoop on my workouts last week: Sun. Cathe HE...

Jen, it just took me half an hour to get Eric to calm down for sleep - he had too much farting going on too! I know what you mean about the abs. I do crunches with my knees out to the sides, as I cannot do it with me knees together- too much belly rolls in the way!I still find it hard to...

Hi everyone! I bled for four weeks after my c-section, but it wasn't heavy- just consistently there! Doctors do suction out a lot of the "stuff", but a lot of blood is still in the lining of your womb afterwards. I had Eric on March 20th, and have been exercising for 4 weeks. The first...

What a cutie! Thanks for sharing! (You looked terrific at 8 months pregnant, by the way!) Jennifer V

I had a C-section due to a breech birth, and so I had an epidural. No pain, period. I then took painkillers during my recovery, weaning myself off. Be prepared Wendy- you may not get the choice if you end up needing a C-section!:o Jennifer V

Congratulations Imani! I'm so glad all is well. Enjoy her, and remember to sleep when she sleeps!;-) Jennifer V.

I remember enjoying that too...yet now for six weeks I've been doing it 3-4 times a week now that my baby is here! Enjoy the preparation! I've just made the choice to use cloth diapers now that Eric has gained more weight and is bigger. They are so cute! I'll need all the incentive I can...

Hi Doctorjany! Sleeping difficulties (due to your fibromialgia) will definitely affect your workouts. It did for my Mother-in law. So will lack of sleep due to a young baby who keeps you up nights! Give yourself time. Did the meds work for you before pregnancy? Can you go back on them...

Doctorjany, It could very well be that working out 2 hours, 5 days a week is too much for you if you're feeling as tired as you are. If you are sore often, you might want to make sure you give yourself a couple of days of rest after a heavy strength training session (not cardio) to ensure...

Almost four weeks a Mom! I also had a C-section, and so I know I can't do much until my doctor's check-up. I'm so looking forward to working out again. I'm going to give myself lots of time to get back into shape though, after hearing from others how it takes 6 months to a year to get back...

Since my C-section 3 weeks ago, I have discovered my belly pooch has sagged very low, right at the incision. Wouldn't it be great if surgeons would automatically tighten things up right then and there? I can't wait for my 6-week check-up when I can find out if I have the go ahead to work...

Thanks for all your replies! I'll try to check in when I can. Sleep is my top priority though!;)

Saturday I had my baby shower, and to our great surprise the following day my water broke as I sat down in the passenger seat of our car. What a rush! Of course, my husband freaks, and we went home to gather a few things and make a couple of phone calls. I was admitted at the hospital...

Hi Jen! Congratulations! I just delivered as well- I went through so many emotions during the whole experience! Take care of yourself, and let us know how you and Andrew are doing! How is your strength? I am finding hard to sleep in a comfortable position. Darn! I was hoping that would...

I crave cereal and peanut butter daily. A bowl of cereal makes a great mini meal- better than snacking on chips or chocolate! (I can't believe I'm saying that!) Jennifer V 35 weeks

Welcome Renee! Do take it easy, exercise-wise. I found out early on that I was out of breath very easily when doing intense Cathe workouts, and did a lot of adjusting. Congratulations!:7 Jennifer V 35 weeks
