How You Can Lose Weight After Pregnancy


Post-Pregnancy Workouts that Help With Weight Loss

Most women who give birth find that they have excess fat that they need to lose so as to fit into their old clothes again. Sadly, once you have given birth, there is no way you are going to want to feel like doing a bunch of extra exercise and you will have gotten so used to eating high calorie diets that going low calorie food is going to feel like torture. The good news is that the three tips below will help you lose that post-baby weight and they're easy enough that any woman can do them. So, if you have just had a baby and you are anxious to get back to your pre-baby weight, follow these tips so that you can get back to your pre-baby weight as soon as possible.

Leg Kicks: This is a great workout for getting your pulse going and it also makes your abs rock-hard. To start, lie down on your side with your body bent at the waist in a pike position. Bend one leg to help you hold your balance and straighten your top leg and bring it forward as far as you can. Then, your leg still in the air, move it back to hover over your bent leg. Repeat this motion ten times without lowering your leg. Roll over and do the same with the other leg. Do this thrice on each side and you'll quickly see results. Forearm plank breathing is another exercise you can use to lose pregnancy weight. Then you will slowly lower yourself until the forearms rest flat on the surface below you. Now straighten those legs to create a straight line with your legs. Take a deep breath and slowly let it out as you squeeze your abs and hold the position. The next step is a sort of push up move for 30 seconds. Repeat these steps three times. This exercise will help you strengthen your core and correct your posture.

Strengthen abs and lose weight with the classic crunch. To do a crunch you simply lie on the ground with hand behind your head and knees bent. Inhale through your nose and then exhale as you draw your abs in while lifting your head and shoulders off the floor. Now you simply bring your ribs in towards the hips as you relax your butt. Slowly lower to beginning position. Do as many as you are comfortable with working higher as your gain endurance. Reaching 50 means you have built up your endurance and may want to try adding weight for more challenge.

These are all exercises that you can do while your baby takes a nap. Even if you have to do several small workouts instead of one big one each day it is better than not doing any exercises at all. It isn't hard to lose baby weight if that is what you want to do. Thankfully, these three tips can help you quite a bit if you do them often enough.
