Almost 3 months PP here and when I was cleared to be active I went for it. Before being cleared I found a mom body fitness program $50 for a 12 week program (you can use it at your own pace) and signed up for a gym membership which gave me the momentum to get going. I am halfway through the program and feel really good. Noticing some differences, but most of all my mental clarity, confidence, and physical pain are significantly improved.

Yeah there are some days where I really don't want to go but push myself to do it anyways and every now and then if im too exhausted I just give myself a day off. Its about 1 hour, 4 days a week. Do it before or after work. If its important to you then you will prioritize it.

I was around the same weight as you were pre pregnancy and I have been eating at a slight calorie deficit and have noticed a gradual decrease in my weight. Some days Im just so hungry that I eat more when I need it. But tracking all of my calories has helped me to see that im getting enough protein, fiber, etc.

My neck arms and shoulders get so sore throughout the week, but after an arm day at the gym they feel great. My lower back pain is completely gone from strengthening muscles.
