Jennifer Hudson’s Postpartum Workout

In August Dreamgirl Jennifer Hudson gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, David. And now the Oscar and Grammy winner is working with celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak, famous for helping Milla Jovovich lose her baby weight and his 5 Factor Diet.

Pasternak spoke to Lil Sugar and offered these exercises to get your postpartum workout started. He did, however, say that the routine is for women who had a vaginal birth and suffered no severe tearing or problems from gestational diabetes. He also urges you to check with your doctor before beginning.

-        Begin slowly. Start with a 10-minute walk every day, and then slowly add a minute to the walks each day until you can walk for 30 minutes.
-        Introduce strength training. Only after your doctor has said you can, start with only one set per body part. Then work your way up with multiple sets and gradually increase resistance and intensity.
-        Keep it simple. Stick with simple movements using your body weight, dumbbells, barbells, or a HarleyBar for light weight training. Don’t jump onto the most difficult machines you used before giving birth.
-        Don’t try high-impact movements just yet. Your body is still filled with hormones that increase joint laxity, so it’s important to monitor your activities.
-        Try a 5-Factor workout: (1.) A cardio warm-up (2.) A strength circuit with upper body (3.) Lower body (4.) Abs (5.) Finish up with a cardio cool-down.

But again, make sure you check with your doctor before beginning any of these steps.
