Crunches Will Help You Get Rid of the Post Pregnancy Baby Weight
If you aren't happy with the pounds you have gained while you were pregnant, don't freak out. You can lose those pounds without much hassle if you know what to do. You may think that you don't have time to work out because your baby is at a stage where it needs its mother as often as possible. Of course, your baby will be taking lots of naps. If you make sure to workout while your baby is napping, you won't have to wait long to see good results. Here are some things that you can do during your baby's naptime that will charge up your day and keep you feeling (and looking) your best!
The Reverse Curl: A woman who has just given birth to a baby will need to do some real work to get her abs back in shape and reverse curls can really help with that. For this exercise, lie down on the floor looking up at the ceiling and bend your knees. Your feet need to be positioned just above your hips and and, keeping your arms on the floor, straight down from your shoulders and next to your torso, lift your hips off of the floor while drawing in your abs and breathing in and out. Slowly return your hips to the floor and then start over. Try to do this twenty times. If you can't, keep doing it until you can do 20. Then try working up to 50.
Not only is this exercise good for your ab muscles and for losing the pouch, it helps you walk tall and with confidence. Arm Flutters: This is a great post-natal exercise that can be completed right next to your baby's crib. Start out by lying on your back and putting your legs straight up. Pick your torso up off of the ground a little bit and lift your arms while making sure they stay straight. Slowly lower back down and completely for 20-50 times. This helps strengthen your core and burns more calories. The baby weight will drop of super fast if you do this exercise three times a week.
The third exercise you should try is the classic crunch. Most know that crunches simply require laying on the ground with your hands behind your head and your knees bent. Now inhale through the nose and exhale as you tighten your abs as you lift your head and shoulders off the floor. Relax your behind while bringing your hips and ribs toward one another. Slowly lower to beginning position. As you gain endurance you'll want to increase to 50 at some point. Once you've reached your goal of 50 try adding weight to increase weight.
And you're done! Those are the best ways for any woman to lose weight so that she can get back to her pre-pregnancy weight. If you use these tips it shouldn't take you a lot of time to fit back into your old clothing.
