Exercises You Should Be Doing to Shread Pregnancy Weight Now That The Baby Is Here

When you first found out that you were going to have a baby your doctors first instructions were probably "start gaining weight."

Weight gain is a natural part of being pregnant. Gaining weight is pretty easy when you are eating for two. Now that your baby has been born, however, you probably want to start shedding pounds as quickly as possible. You probably want to get your pregnancy back. Thankfully, we've put together a few ways that any woman can regain her figure after she has given birth. Any one of these hints can help you get back to your previous size in no time.

Leg Kicks: This is a great exercise to get your heartbeat up and strengthens your abs. This exercise starts with you lying on your side with your waist slightly bent into 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 move your airborne leg back to hover over the bent leg. Taking care not to lower your leg, repeat the exercise ten times. Then, roll over and repeat. Three reps of ten on each side will give you the results you want very fast.

Bridge Squeeze: For this exercise, you lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the ground. Place a pillow between your knees and draw your abs in. Breathe in and then back out as you tighten your bottom muscles and left your hips to make your body form a straight line. Squeeze the pillow with your knees for two counts and then lower your hips. Do this ten times for three sets.

Lunges: these exercises work all of your leg muscles so you know they'll burn lots of calories for you. Not only will lunges help you lose weight, they will build your leg muscles which means that you'll even be burning your calories while you 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). Move your left foot forward until your knee bends at a 90 degree angle. Keeping your right leg straight behind your body, lower yourself until your right knee almost touches your floor. Slowly stand back up and then do the same thing with your other leg. For a proper workout, do this five times with each leg.

There you go! These are some of the best ways that a woman can lose weight and get back to her pre-pregnancy size. Try these tips and you will see that it shouldn't take much time at all to get back to your old size.
