Although she had stayed active during her pregnancy by walking and riding her bike, she had not formally exercised and was a little nervous the first time she entered the Healthplex for her introductory tour. The staff put Vicki at ease right away. They encouraged her to work out daily and taught her the basics of a healthy exercise session. She chose to focus her workout on the cardiovascular fitness equipment, alternating between machines and resistance training. Working out at the same time each day made exercising a fun part of her daily routine.
Consistency is the key.
Vicki also learned to eat a light meal or snack before her workout, to pace herself as she worked out and to drink plenty of water during and after exercising. With each day, she began to look and feel more healthy. In addition to losing weight, she also gained more energy and confidence. Overall, she just felt better about herself. In just two months, Vicki was back to her pre-pregnancy weight.
