Madeline Moves for someone experienced in strength training but now has 3 kids and no time?
8 months postpartum. Exclusively breastfeeding. 3 kids. Summer. I have strength trained for 15+ years and am well versed in it all. I loved going to the gym when I had only 2, but now having 3 kids, getting out of the house is a feat itself at this current stage of life.
I’ve been doing an at-home strength app (FIGR, local girl I know) using the barbell and all but the workouts take me minimum an hour. And that is killing me with getting interrupted 47395x on top of it. I don’t want my kids whole day to be me working out (don’t tell me to get up before them, the baby still doesn’t sleep through the night lol). I kept hearing good things about Madeline Moves and I LOVE that there is a 30 minute option. That seems so much more doable at this current stage of life. I know the chaos is not forever, but definitely right now 😵💫 But I’ve read it’s cardio/heavy. Will I be bummed with the lack of real strength workouts?
I AM in a place of being ready to lose fat (safely) now that I’m 8 months PP and my milk is established. So I’m like huh, maybe cardio-heavy is what I need for now (haven’t done that in ages) AND it’s only 30 mins. But will I lose all my strength?! There is a free week I am going to try but just looking for advice. Posting in postpartum too but this crew is more versed in the app itself.
Thanks for reading all of that and helping a mom out.
