			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-803" title="916556_pregnant_1" src="http://www.resultsconditioning.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/916556_pregnant_1.jpg" alt="916556_pregnant_1" width="66" height="100" />Back in October I posted a video, which showed me taking my wife Laura through a circuit session while she was 6 months pregnant. (<a href="http://www.resultsconditioning.com/archives/495">http://www.resultsconditioning.com/archives/495</a>).  Well now we have a beautiful baby daughter who is 9 weeks old and Laura is back into her training determined to get her pre-pregnancy shape back. She started after 6 weeks with some light cardio using x-trainers and cycles and is now already back down to her previous weight. Her goal now is to improve her muscle tone focusing on her lower body and mid-section. Laura’s abdominals are now fully healed so we can now start introducing more core focused workouts into her sessions such as the one shown below.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Warm up:</p>
<p>We began by warming up with a light medicine ball using exercises such as swings, rotations, squats and lunges.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lower-body workout:</p>
<p>We performed a 3-exercise circuit that focused on movements that not only hit the legs but also heavily involved the core.</p>
<p><strong>TRX single leg lunge</strong></p>
<p><strong>Reverse balance lunge</strong></p>
<p><strong>Side lunge</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Core workout:</p>
<p>After the lower-body we moved onto the core doing a superset of 2 exercises.</p>
<p><strong>Resistance band woodchops</strong></p>
<p><strong>Medicine ball crunch with alternating leg lifts</strong> </p>
<p>Once we had completed this we finished off the workout with 20 minutes of focus pad work to help burn plenty of calories. We performed 2-minute rounds with a minutes rest in between. Once this was done we cooled down and stretched.</p>
