First 5K Race as a New Mom
If you are one of many moms that sets a 5k(or 10K) race as their first post-maternity fitness goal, you are on the right track. Setting an athletic goal is a healthier approach than planning to lose 20 pounds or get into a certain dress size. Yes, weight loss will certainly make it easier to run but it's sort of a closed circle, so why not approach it from the fun side? Running improves your overall cardio health, strengthens your muscles, gives your blood circulation a boost, and improves your mood with a nice flush of endorphins. Plus, if you join a club or just get a few friends together, it's a fun social activity. You can find a club at meetup.com, for example, and many of these are stroller-friendly, so your little one gets a nice walk or ride. So lace up some good running shoes and head for the gym for practice. Training indoors, at least at first, will make it easier to control the required intervals, time, incline and speed. You can take it outdoors once you are comfortable.
