Having a baby changed everything. Her routines became my routines, which so far are erratic, amusing and sleepless (but oh so amazing!). Operating on no sleep is hard, training on no sleep is hard; for me it would be harder to not train and end up losing part of who I am. I have trained since Azalea was born, I trained and am training after sleepless nights. I am keeping that part of me because it makes me happy and it is who I am. I choose my hard, to train exhausted.
Don’t let fatigue throw you off you’re game! Here are a few tips I’ve used to train exhausted. I’m not a medical professional this is just what works for me. I’m over 6 months into motherhood and I haven’t missed a session yet ;) I am blessed and thankful to be a momma, I am blessed and thankful to have a body healthy enough to train - I can do both and do them both well.
A properly hydrated body is a healthier body. Hydration helps prevent injury while training. I drink water before, during, and after training.
Being fuelled with proper nutrition is the key to energy. Junk food and or skipping meals (mom life!) doesn’t cut it. Being sluggish from bad food choices is not an option for this already tired momma. I fuel myself with a proper macro split for my body and my goals. This consists of lots of calories from natural food sources while avoiding sugary, processed filler foods.
Knowing that I have a group of friends supporting and encouraging me keeps me going. Even when I have spit up on my shoulder, a soother clipped to my t-shirt, and I don’t know if it’s Wednesday night or Sunday morning, I always show up, and I always stand up. Good training.
I may not be bringing my A game every session because I am so tired but at least I am still in the game!
