Ideally, a new mom will gradually work into a fitness routine at her own pace and comfort level, with an increase in intensity and time as she gains strength & confidence. However, one of the most common pitfalls a woman makes is committing to too few training sessions.
In fact, working out only once a week can hinder your progress and make you more susceptible to injury.
It is recommended that women train 3-5 times per week for optimal effect. This will prevent injury, improve strength & performance and achieve results. Workouts should provide lots of variety and can be done with very little time commitment.
Overtraining is also important to consider. Women who are exercising too frequently are at risk of over use injuries and adrenal fatigue.
It is important that women ensure plenty of rest, hydration with a focus on a healthy, balanced diet. Keep your training sessions to a minimum of 3 times/ week and a maximum or 5 times/week for optimal results.
