Backache is a common problem among people nowadays. What people, however, forget is that life is not a race and you’ve got to do things at your own pace. Pay attention to the issues instead of ignoring them and letting things be. That’s what actress and influencer Sameera Reddy did for her back pain post pregnancy. Here she is reminding you to be more mindful of what your body needs.

Sameera, who has a daughter, is active on social media and where she talks about various mental and physical issues that women battle through everyday life.

One of her latest posts saw her sharing her ordeal with back pain, which she had since the days when she used to face the cameras actively.

“I’ve had a bad back since my shooting days and post childbirth, it has acted up at intervals. Last 2 months my back totally went for a toss. I was so frustrated because I want to be this super mom with my fitness Fridays and also keep up with so many things in my day. But I’ve had a history of back issues and post childbirth it’s gotten weaker,” she wrote.

That sounds like every other mother, who keeps her own health and concerns on the backburner to be a problem solver for everyone else around her.

But like a rightfully aware and health-conscious woman, Sameera decided to take matters in her own hand. She sought the right nutritional and physical treatment to reduce her agony.

“I was pushing too hard on all other fronts losing sight of the fact that I needed to be more regular with back exercises and taking vitamins,” she adds.

After her experience of taking care of the back pain post pregnancy, there’s a reminder she wants to share with fellow moms and women.

Here are 4 ways to keep your body fit and strong

1. Know your current fitness level

Prior to starting any workout regimen, think about going for a physical examination. This is especially true if you suffer from health issues, particularly those that concern your heart, lungs, kidneys, or joints. It is especially crucial to visit a doctor before starting a moderate or vigorous fitness program as you
get older. Keep in mind that you shouldn’t feel bad about where you are right now. It all depends on where you’re going!

2. Choose your target fitness level

Decide on your desired degree of fitness. Determine the degree of fitness you want to attain. Being aware of your objectives can help you stay motivated to exercise. To lower your risk of diseases that might be brought on by inactivity, you must maintain a minimum level of fitness for your age.

3. Set goals for your aerobic health

The circulatory system of the body, which includes the heart and lungs, becomes more effective at utilizing and dispersing oxygen via the blood as a result of aerobic activity.

4. Set your strength and endurance goals

Strength training aims to make your muscles larger and stronger while also increasing your endurance. Strength training has been linked to improved joint health, stronger bones, and a lower risk of injury, according to research.
