Mindset Exercise

Technique

Most important to succeed is to set the right expectations. It’s possible to live an active lifestyle even with kids, give yourself some time to get into the new life installation - find solutions that work for you and your family. Learn to cheer on yourself. Unless you believe in yourself, who will? 1: Make your own motivational mantra to get in a positive attitude to your body after pregnancy and childbirth, or use the example below. 2: Repeat your motivational mantra several times a day. Repeat it even more often when it feels tougher. Repeat, repeat, repeat. 3: Write your motivational mantra on a note and place where you can see it - at the front door or on the mirror for example. Or add it as a recurring reminder on your phone. Example motivation mantra: "The body changes during pregnancy - but it can be changed again. And I can do it!"

Tips

Be nice to yourself, customize your workout expectations to suite your circumstances such as life looks like right now. Right NOW in YOUR life. (Do not compare yourself with anyone else, everyone's circumstances are different, the training background, childbirth, life experience of young children, access to babysitting and more.)

Alternatives

Every repetition will take you to closer your goals. Be proud and happy for every workout.
