Lindsay Brin's PostNatal Bootcamp

I think most people are aware that I am a huge exercise fan. Well, after I had my first baby, Cameron, I tried desperately to lose my baby weight. 18 months after he was born, I still had 10 lbs left to lose and was pregnant with my second, Isaac. So with Isaac, I was super careful with what I ate and only gained about 16 lbs. (I think I ate more with Cameron just because everyone told me to.. you only need about 300 extra calories per day when you're pregnant- that's only like 2 apples). So, I only ate when I was hungry and ate very healthy during my second pregnancy. My highest weight with Isaac was 144 lbs. Two weeks after he was born, I was at 128 and 4 weeks later, I was at 123. Well, two days ago, I took the plunge and weighed myself, AND..... 117!!!! I was ECSTATIC! Now, let me tell you my secrets....

I run about 4 miles, 5 mornings per week. Then, three times per week, I do LINDSAY BRIN'S POSTNATAL BOOTCAMP DVD! I'm telling you, this has made the difference for me! I also haven't had any sweets, candy, or chocolate for about 4 months, and I eat super super healthy. (I'm also very careful not to get much added sugar from foods they add it to- which is pretty much EVERYTHING! READ YOUR LABELS!) So let me tell you about this DVD I do...

It is basically interval training. You switch off doing exercises for cardio and toning. There are 6 different, 3 minute core workouts (work your abs and back), and 10 different, 10 minute intervals. The idea is, you do however much you have time for. She recommends doing her 3 minute warm-up and 3 minute cool-down, and in between doing 1-2 of the core workouts and 1-3 of the interval workouts. So you can have your workout done in as little as 18 minutes! Now the key is, changing the workout. You're supposed to change the intervals and core workouts you are doing often. It's super intense and hard, but you finish quickly. Now, the best part is, she has designed a 12-week program on the DVD. So, she has decided for you which core workouts and which interval workouts to do, and it changes each week. She adds more and more as the weeks go by, so eventually, you're doing more like a 40 minute workout. Now, I HIGHLY recommend this DVD! I never get bored, my body never gets used to the same motion (running, walking, eliptical) because the workouts are always changing on the 12 week program. I am on week 6 this week and have been able to tell a major difference, not only in just weight, by my pants are getting HUGE on me! I am losing inches! I am so excited! Want to hear another great perk? She has designed 3 other DVD's to do during pregnancy... each split up into trimesters. I will definitely be purchasing those in the future when I am prego with another baby. What great gift ideas for all you men out there who are reading this! Your wives will love you! You can buy the boxed set of all four DVD's (the three prenatal discs and the postnatal bootcamp) for $59.95 on www.momsintofitness.com or you can buy them all separately. Each of the prenatal DVD's are only $17.95 and right now, the bootcamp DVD is only $19.95, normally $24.95. Not a bad deal!!! Especially when IT WORKS!
