Postpartum Weight Loss- Cardio or Weights?

Posted by Sara H.

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!

A 20 minute total body workout: I

1. Start with 5 min. of powerwalking followed by

2. 2 min. of pilee squats

3. 2 min. of shoulder work (or pushups)

4.  5 powerwaking or light jog

5. 2 min. of lunges

6. 2 min. of upper back work (or pushups or tricep dips)

7. 2 min. of powerwalking
