I am a personal trainer and have been active basically all of my life. Even when I was pregnant, I was consistent and going to the gym almost everyday. I have created several workout programs based on the different goals I've had throughout my life. It's definitely been a journey, but I have enjoyed every bit of it.
Fitness has been a part of every aspect of my life... except when I became postpartum.
I had to have a c-section due to my baby being breech. Although the procedure itself wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, the recovery process was much longer than I would have liked. I couldn't do really anything for the first couple weeks. And then after that all I could really do was walk, and short distances at that. That went on for a couple weeks, slowly walking more and more. After a little over a month, I began incorporating squats and lunges in my walks. I was extremely sore, especially after the first time. But after a couple weeks, things got easier.
Two months postpartum, I had to start a 3-month internship to be able to complete my degree and unfortunately, it was a full-time internship. I had to wake up early every morning, around 3-4am, get myself and my baby ready to drive to my mom's, which was an hour away. Once I dropped my son off, I would drive another 1-1.5 hours to my internship. I'd be there all day and then drive to my mom's to get my son and then head home. By the time I got home it would be 7-8pm, depending on traffic. It was exhausting, but I made it happen.
In that time, I tried to still go to the gym. On Tuesday's and Friday's, I got off work early and that allowed me to go to the gym. I would try and go during the weekend. I stayed a little consistent with my training, but I wasn't getting that many training days.
By the time I completed my internship, I felt guilty that I missed a lot of time with my son. I didn't want to miss anymore time, so I took a break from... everything! I graduated from TWU and I got a very part time job (8 hours/week) just to earn a little extra cash. I loved it! My job allowed me to be creative and gave me the freedom to create the space I wanted, all the while spending more time with my son.
I did this for a year! And although it was amazing having that time with my son, I neglected my physical fitness. I didn't care the first 6 months. I didn't want to stress and I just wanted to enjoy life. But, after the 6 months, I noticed a difference in not only my appearance, but also my fitness condition. I struggled more with carrying my son. A lot of my chronic pain started coming back. I started to move less. And my energy levels were low. So, I decided to try and get back into exercising.
THAT was a struggle. I was going to the gym every now and then, with no routine. I would sometimes get workouts in at home, but again, no routine. My motivation was down. I couldn't get myself to workout most days and my fitness condition only got worse.
I have also been dealing with a GI condition where I get severe stomach pain and diarrhea up to 10 times a day for the last 2 years. That has also been a huge factor for me on working out. I am constantly dehydrated and it causes me to be low on energy and get headaches more often. Recently, my condition has been getting worse. I used to only deal with the pain and diarrhea in the mornings, but now I am dealing with it in the evenings and there have been several occasions where it has woken me up in the middle of the night. And that is part of the reason, I am taking a stand against myself.
I am ready to change. I am ready to get back into a better fitness condition. I am ready to not only look, but feel better! Exercise can reduce and sometimes even solve many conditions, so it's time I try. That is why I created this workout program!
FitTrack Workout Program
FitTrack Workout Program was designed for myself with others in mind. It is designed to help people wanting to take back their life and get into a fitness routine. Creating workout programs isn't easy, even for a personal trainer, that's why I wanted to share this program with everyone to hopefully help someone get back on track. This program will help to start burning that stubborn fat, tone up your body by building muscle, increase strength, and help improve your overall endurance. It is a good basis to starting in creating a routine and getting back on track, or starting a new track!
There are two phases in this program, each 2 weeks long, with each phase increasing in intensity. For the first phase, the training days and cardio days are the same days. There are 4 days of each and they are on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday! The exercises stay the same with an increase in reps on the second week.
For phase II, the training and cardio days stay the same, with the exception of an additional cardio day. Some of the exercises in this phase will change compared to phase I and the reps will be increasing for week 3 and week 4. Week 4 is the most intense, but the first three weeks should prepare you for that final week if done right!
