Making Postpartum Fitness
a Priority
a Priority
By Michele Batz
Setting a Goal
Now it's time to set a goal. Shouldn't we have begun with a goal? No. Beginning with a goal before we know what we're working with (or against) sets us up for failure. In order to be successful, we need to arm ourselves with as much information as possible before we set out for a destination. And a goal is most definitely a destination. The chief purpose behind these exercises was to help you identify your habits and attitudes toward fitness. You are ready to take charge of those habits and make changes you feel comfortable with. You've done your research. You're ready to set a goal.
Write down what changes you would like to accomplish in 21 days. Limit yourself to one or two changes to guarantee your success. By trying to tackle too much at once, you'll get frustrated, throw your hands up and quit. Instead, let's focus on a smaller scale, one change at a time. This will become your goal for your 21-day postpartum fitness program.

Re: Assumes problem is motivation rather than logistics by anonymous on 06/03/2009 01:37AM
This assumes the problem is motivation rather than logistics. With 3 children two and under (I had twins who are colicky), who would hold the baby/babies while I exercised? They don't nap.
