Persnal Trainer Interview - Post Pregnancy Exercise 1 of 2

October 22, 2008

Http://www.Zegee.com

Learn how to work out after giving birth to your baby. Helene Byrne has the answer for you. This is an interview about her work and background.

Host:
I want to welcome everyone to a personal training series of interviews for Zegee.com. This interview is with Helene Byrne from Oakland, California. She is the creator and founder of BeFitMom.com, fitness resource for women during and after pregnancy. She is also a creator of Bounce Back Fast, the post-natal conditioning DVD an a book titled Exercise After Pregnancy. How to look and feel your best.

Hi Helene

Helene:
Hi, thanks for having me.

Host:
Sure, please tell us about yourself, about your book and about your work.

Helene:
I kind of came to the fitness industry through the back door, if you will, I was a professional dancer when I was younger and I found that as a young dancer I could make a lot more money teaching fitness classes, aerobic classes and things like that, than I could teaching dance. So I started out as a lot of us do teaching aerobic classes and conditioning classes.

I got a little bit older, and I got certified as a personal trainer, and I started doing personal raining. And then, not surprisingly, after my son was born, I started getting really interested in postnatal reconditioning and I found that a lot of the exercises that I thought would be good in the postpartum period didn’t work so I kind of took my background which was dance and Pilates and a little bit of yoga along with the more cutting edge of core concept that was started to be popular and I made this system of exercise that rehabs the body after pregnancy and that led to my book and then to my website and my DVD.

My book covers all of the concerns that a postpartum woman would have and offers a three step program for creating functional core stability back into the body. It is interesting, when I was pregnant, oh - I would pound up 100 sit ups a day and i get my abs back and I will be on my way, but what I found when I was postpartum that while the abs do need to be reconditioned, the real issue behind postpartum - rehabilitation are really developing functional stability and core strength back into the body and thats what the book covers.

All the exercises are in the book, body weight exercises that you can do without equipment, they are fairly short so a new mom can get down on the floor when her baby has a nap and do it. It also covers other aspects pertaining to postnatal conditioning like pelvic floor reconditioning, abdominal separation - what is it, how to test for it, other post-natal conditioning like carpel tunnel as well as chapter on body image after pregnancy because that is a bit thing that moms these days have to deal with as well as how to set your goals and how to create a program of success for yourself.

We see a lot of things in the media about actresses who get their bodies back in these miraculous time frames but for most moms its impossible. our job is to taking care of the baby 24/7. Child care is a huge commitment and if you are super wealthy and you can hire someone to come and give you a private workout every day while another person is taking care of the baby, then thats really the only way it can be done.

What moms need to realize is that it takes 40 weeks to grow a baby and that you should give yourself at least that much if not longer for rebounding from pregnancy. It is especially important for moms to understand that it’s not about body weight. Dieting when you are postpartum and when you are breastfeeding is a really bad thing to do to your body.

So in my book and my DVD, I really say eat right, eat the amount of food that will support not only your metabolism but your breastfeeding metabolism which is your base metabolism plus about 500 calories a day, which is a big increase in your basic metabolism so eat the right amount and eat high quality food and let your body go through this kind of de-evolution process and thats really the healthiest way to go.
