Losing pre-baby weight with post pregnancy workouts
If you just had a baby and you want nothing more than to return to your pre-baby weight, you should have a few post-pregnancy workouts in your arsenal that you can perform daily or every other day so that you can lose that weight as soon as possible. The reality is that there are alot of effective, fun and exciting options for exercise out there. The following three examples will help you supercharge your workout and you'll be back into your pre-pregnancy clothes before you know it.
Yoga: Yoga is a fantastic way to stretch and tone your body so that you can get back into shape. The best part about yoga is that it's slow and non-impact so you can actually get your workout in while your baby is napping. You can use any of the multitude of online videos to learn different yoga moves as well as apps from smartphones. After you have done yoga for a few weeks, you will see that you feel better and stronger and that your clothes are fitting better as well. Arm Flutters: This is a great post-natal exercise that can be completed right next to your baby's crib. Lie down on your back and put your legs straight up into the air. Slightly lift your chest and abs off the ground while also lifting your arms (make sure to keep them straight). Lower yourself to the floor and repeat 20-50 times. This will make your core stronger and helps you to burn lots of calories. Doing this exercise three times each week will make the pounds drop off like magic!
Lunges: lunges are great calorie burners because they work all of your leg muscles. So not only will lunges help you lose weight quickly, but they will also build the muscles in your legs which means you'll be burning more calories while at rest. A proper lunge involves drawing your abs in while you stand (with your feet hip-width apart and put your hands on your hips). Bring your left foot forward until your leg is bent at ninety degrees. With your right leg still straight, lower your body until that knee almost touches the floor. Slowly stand back up and then do the same thing with your other leg. Repeat this five times on each side for a fantastic workout.
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. Use these tips so that you can be sure you will fit into your old clothing after a short time.
