I don't have a baby sitter at home . For new moms, exercise takes a back seat to more pressing concerns like sleep. The key is finding an activity that you enjoy and that meshes with your schedule and lifestyle. If you like your exercise of choice, you'll view it as fun and necessary, not an option. Check out your local YWCA, health clubs or yoga studios.
Many clubs offer postpartum exercise classes where babies are welcome.
You also can build a library of postnatal exercise videos, which can be a convenient way to squeeze exercise into your day. Try hiking with your baby and friends. Use a frontpack or a backpack, whichever your neck and shoulders support better. Consider investing in fitness equipment, such as a treadmill or recumbent stationary bike. A good machine, set up in a convenient spot, may inspire you to work out when you have time.
