Tabata Style workouts
Tabata style training is perhaps the best bang for your buck workouts. The idea is to create a circuit of exercises that you will perform one after another, with limited rest.
In order to perform these properly, you should consider muscle syncing – a method used by old-school strength experts.
The idea is to constantly switch muscle systems between exercises. An example of this would be doing push-ups, followed by pull-ups. Although both exercises work the upper body, they work opposite strength systems.
Here is an example of a simple, at home workout to get toned after pregnancy.

Now that we’ve addressed some of the best workouts for strength and health, it’s time to get down to the details – nothing beats a clean diet.
If your goal truly is to get toned, strong and get your confidence back nothing will help you more than a whole-food diet. Getting toned means cutting out all the nasty, high-fat and high-sugar foods. A diet that is plentiful in vegetables, fruit, legumes, minimal fish/meat and high fibre carbohydrates is best.
Sometimes we get caught in a vicious circle and think that there is nothing you can do to get out – no one that can help.
