Help me with Exercises

[Francescadavis]

Hi I have just finished my final run of week 3 today and looking forward to week 4, but I’m looking for some exercises that will work on my tummy muscles and upper body as I’m very weak on my top half. With have my daughter by c- section I’m also finding very hard with building my tummy muscles back up. Any help would be fantastic 🤗

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

If you go to the sister site, the Strength and Flex forum, you will find all the help you need.

There is a link in this guide to the plan, which is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

and includes advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run, hydration and strengthening exercises, all of which will help.

Enjoy your journey.

No advice on tummy muscles from me, it's 20 years since my youngest was born and I'm still trying to lose my baby weight 😂 (but I can run a lot faster and further now, keep at it, it's so worth doing)

Well done you... as IannodaTruffe says head across to the S and F forum for LOADS of ideas and links from the superb CBDB

I am a HUGE fan of Body Fit with Amy... and her short exercises for Post Natal Mums are incredible ( she has two small ones of her own! Check her out on You tube?

bodyfitbyamy.com/postnatal-...

Scroll around until you find what suits you... I use her other sets of short exercises for the errrr slightly more seasoned runner( I am 71 )
