How To Lose Weight After You’ve Had Your Baby

When you first found out you were pregnant, your doctor likely told you to start gaining weight.

Gaining weight is a normal part of being an expectant mother. When you are eating for two, it’s hard not to pack on the pounds. But now that your baby is born, you don’t want to live with the weight any longer. You are probably desperate to get your old figure back. You’ll be glad to know that we’ve compiled three things that you can do to get your weight back to it’s previous state after you have had your baby. Try any or all of them and you will be bound to get back into your old clothes very quickly!

Drawing In: This exercise is perfect for women who just had a baby because not only will it help you lose weight, but it will strengthen your back, abs and overall core, which will help your posture and increase your metabolism at the same time. In this exercise you will start out on all fours with your hands right under your shoulders. Then, pull your abs in and make sure that your spine and neck are in a straight line. Breathe in through your nose and then, as you breathe back out, pull your belly button up and in all while keeping your spine as straight as possible. Do this twelve times and repeat for three sets to get a good abdominal and core workout.

The Super Crunch: This is an abdominal exercise that should be included in every post-natal routine. For this exercise, lie face up with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. With your hands behind your head, inhale and exhale as you draw your abs in and lift your head and shoulders off the floor. Then, hold that position while you lift your knees up and bring them to touch your elbows while lifting your hips slightly off the ground. Then, slowly return to the start. Do three sets of twelve to twenty and your abdominals will be rock hard in no time, and that weight will start coming off too.

The third exercise you should try is the classic crunch. You can do crunches by lying flat on you back with knees bent and hands behind your head. Next inhale through your nose and exhale as the abs tighten lift your head and shoulders off the floor. Now you simply bring your ribs in towards the hips as you relax your butt. Now slowly recover to your initial position. As you work at doing these correctly also work at increasing the number you can do from a few to upwards of 50. Reaching 50 means you have built up your endurance and may want to try adding weight for more challenge. If you keep up with these exercises three or more days a week and eating right you will shed that baby weight fast. As the weight comes off you will reap your rewards of the hard work and motivation.
