Now THAT'S dedication! Fit mother-of-three, 32, shares video of herself doing a workout in BED as she cares for her sick baby girl
In between raising her three month old baby girl and a pair of very active twin boys, Anna Strode, 32, always finds time to get active.
And recently, the Melbourne-based fitness expert once again showed off her multitasking abilities - this time through what she described as her boobd and bed workout.
Taking to her Instagram account, Ms Strode shared a video of herself cradling her sick baby girl in bed while doing a makeshift exercise regime on top of the covers.
We have a very sick household.
Lachie and Sammy have ear infections and little miss Madi has picked up a bad cold, its heartbreaking, she wrote.
I know there will be no chance for me to get a workout in today as its going to be nutso with 3 sick little bubs hanging off me so I did a few exercises while we were waking up this morning.
Its just enough to help me start the day with positivity as we all know how hard it can be with sick kiddos - like, real hard!!! .
Sure todays workout didnt work up much of a sweat but what it did do is help me smile so Im going to take that as a win.
Remember to fit in even just 5 minutes of exercise if you can - it will help you cope so much better I promise!.
The impressive workout clip has already had close to 40,000 views, with many praising the mother for her creativity.
Ms Strode is known for her quirky home workouts and even exercised in her hospital gown prior to giving birth.
And since welcoming her bub, she has slowly been reintroducing workouts back into her daily routine.
.
Four weeks after giving birth Ms Strode opened up about bouncing back and how her perception has changed the second time around.
Taking to her Instagram page, Ms Strode shared a snap of herself cradling the newborn while wearing a pair of unzipped blue jeans.
Yea nup, they still dont fit, but its different this time around, she wrote.
Im not scared like I was the first time postpartum.
Im not worried that even how much I love my children that Ill never be able to love my after baby body.
This time I trust my body.
This time I know its exactly how its meant to be.
This time I already love it without the satisfaction of fitting into my jeans.
This time I know that in time, with dedication, that these jeans will fit..
Ms Strode explained that after giving birth to her now two-year-old sons, she believed that happiness would come from zipping up these damn jeans.
But now, she knows this is absolutely not the case.
One of Annas post-birth workouts 16 x Tip Toe Squats 15 x Glute Bridge 16 x Toe Tap Lunges 20 x Donkey Kicks (10 each side) 30 sec Wall Sit 15 x Double Pulse Squats 15 x Kneeling Squats Repeat 4 times.
What makes me happy is my children, this little girl in my arms, my boys who are playing happily in the room next door and the man Im lucky enough to call my husband.
Thats what makes me happy.
Not fitting into some silly pair of jeans, she wrote. .
Despite this, she still feels some pressure to get back into shape.
Id be lying if I said I didnt feel some kind of pressure.
A pressure to bounce back.
To show the world I zipped my jeans up 4 weeks postpartum, Ms Strode wrote. .
But Im not going to let the pressure get to me or keep me from sharing whats real.
Last time I struggled.
I loved my boys but struggled with my body.
I only wanted to share what I thought was success.
Embrace the fact that the jeans dont fit.
Embrace the stage you are at right now.
The transformation pic, the one where the hard work was done and the weight was gone, the one that looked like I bounced back.
Ms Strode concluded her post by saying that she plans on showing the real story this time around.
There is no bounce back.
The only bouncing back Im doing right now is with this little lady in the baby bjorn at witching hour, she wrote. .
But you know what, thats OK.
Im OK with it.
And you know what… if youre a mama you should be OK with it and YOUR body too.
Embrace the fact that the jeans dont fit.
Embrace the stage you are at right now.
Set goals but be gentle on yourself. .
With movement and living healthy, in time the jeans WILL fit but remember it took 9 months to grow your baby - give yourself AT LEAST 9 months to let your body recuperate.
Ms Strode said if theres one thing she could tell the first time postpartum version of herself one thing it would be to go easy on yourself.
