Creating life is a simply stunning thing! For many women, it also brings a sense of body anxiety due to weight gain and the sedentary lifestyle many women end up adopting while carrying. If you're looking to boost your bod back into a state of optimal health post pregnancy, we've got some tips for you!

It all starts before you actually have your baby... If you stay fit throughout your pregnancy, you will "snap back" faster than if you adopted a sedentary lifestyle while your little bun was in the oven. According to the American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecologists (ACOG), pregnant women who are experiencing no complications should engage in moderate exercise for 30 minutes a day at least five days a week.  You will minimize weight gain and reduce the risk of hypertension and gestational diabetes. Here are five great ways to set you up for post-pregnancy success!
