Postpartum Weight Loss- Cardio or Weights?

I’m often asked which is better to do, cardio or weights.  My answer both!  If you’re short on time and you want tolose weightI say do a combo of cardio and weights (note: your own body weight is just as effective.  You may replace weights with push ups and or tricep dips.)  See how below!

1. Start with 5 min. of powerwalking followed by

2. 2 min. of pilee squats
