    Hello, I am a SAHM of a 6 month old who is EBF. I also care for an 8 month old and a 1 year old. I am having the hardest time losing the baby weight and I think for me it's partly bc of breastfeeding. I am hungry all the time but I have zero energy. Also the zero energy has made it very difficult to get a work out routine going. Before I got pregnant I lost about 40lbs strength training. Life got in the way and I started neglecting my workouts and gained a lot of it back. Then I got pregnant and gained the rest back. I am hoping this helps get me back on the right track but I don't want to sacrifice my supply either :(. What do you mommies do for workouts that's not too time consuming that is still effective with possible interruptions from little ones?

    I would suggest jump roping! Gets your heart rate up pretty quickly. 50 jumps 5 laps, 40 jumps, 4 laps, ect. I can't wait for the warm season so I can really take off with this routine on the days I'm not training. Last year this was my life saver

    Oh yeah and then 3 min break and do it one or 2 more times :) it's fairly quick to do. You burn a pretty good amount of calories and if you end up having to take more breaks than I mentioned add another one or 2 reps. Eventually if this takes off add some variations for some
    Fun :) I just added the rope swing to mine. I still kinda suck but I'm getting there and after I'll be doing one legged jumps
