Building Muscle for a Boy Ideas

Bec - any gap at all is a diastasis and the Tuplers should help close it. It means that the connective tissue between your muscles is stretched, but 1.5 fingers is not bad at all. I think the Tuplers are easy to fit into my daily routine (while driving, while nursing DD, etc.) so I do some whenever I think about it and also make sure I'm getting my 100-per sets in.

Gizmo - I thought about you with this. I don't know all of the Crossfit exercises yet, but this blog posts a workout variation every day for moms. Some you probably need a gym for but a lot can be done at home. Might help you get some variety in to keep the boredom away!

When I get to a better fitness level with my basic routine I'm hoping to incorporate one or two of these routines in every week for variation. I like the Crossfit focus on functional fitness.

Hi All.

I think that Kettlebells are great exercises and once you have mastered the technique then they are easy to fit into your day. There are some sample exercises in the link below.

Kettlebells | Fingal Kettlebells

At home I would do 3 reps of 20 swings, 20 figures of 8, 20 deadlift and upright rows, 20 circles, 20 single arm rows (10 per arm) and 20 side bends (10 per side). I do this with a 10kg kettlebell but started off using an 8kg (which I think any mammy should be able for) Because you are using your whole body for most of the exercises it is a very efficient and you are able to manage the heavier weight.

I don't have any gap in my stomach muscles though (less than 2 fingers when I left the hospital with DD and no gap at my 6 week check up) so I don't know if these exercises are suitable for any ladies with that.

Hi ladies,

The page for Skrimpy's weekly schedule will not load on my computer. Is it just me? Thought it would be an easy place for me to start

[atomic sagebrush]

Hmm, let me ask her about it later today, she may have taken it down.

Atomic, did you have any luck in tracking down the schedule?

[atomic sagebrush]

No, I haven't, I'm sorry.
