After having a baby, finding the energy for anything besides caring for your newborn (especially for exercise) can be difficult. This makes it very unlikely that you will go to the gym or go outside for a run (or even a walk). It's also worth noting that your new child will need to keep you close at all times. So, not only do you need to find the motivation for exercise, you need to find the time to take it on. Here are some things that are easy to do in your own home, when you have a few free minutes, that will help you drop the weight you gained while you were pregnant in no time at all. What could be better than that? The Reverse Curl: Women who have just given birth will have to work hard to get their abdominal muscles back to normal and reverse curls can really help with this. For this particular exercise you need to lie down with your knees bent and look at the ceiling. With your feet on the floor near your hips, raise your hips off of the floor while you keep your head and arms on the floor and your neck muscles relaxed (don't forget to breathe in and out). Slowly go back to your starting position and then repeat the exercise. Try to do twenty reps if you can manage it. If you aren't able to do twenty in the beginning try increasing the amount you can do each day until you get to twenty. Then go for 50, etc. Not only is this exercise good for your ab muscles and for losing the pouch, it helps you walk tall and with confidence. The Super Crunch: This exercise should be included as part of every post-birth workout. In this exercise, you need to lie down while keeping your knees bent and your feet sitting flat on the floor. Keeping your hands behind your head, breathe in and out while you suck in your abs and lift your head and shoulders up off of your 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. Return to your beginning position. Do three sets of between twelve and twenty of these and before you know it you'll have rock hard abs and have gone back to your pre-pregnancy weight. Lunges: Lunges work the major muscle groups in your legs, which means they are going to be great calorie burners. In addition to helping you lose weight quickly, these also build up your leg muscles and that means that you can burn calories even while you are 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). Move your left foot forward until your leg bands at a 90 degree angle. Keep your right leg straight behind you and lower your body until your right knee until it very nearly hits the floor. Slowly stand back up and then do the same thing with your other leg. Do this five times on each side for a killer leg workout. These are exercises that can all be done while your baby takes a nap. Even if you have to break your workout up into a few exercises throughout the day instead of all at once, that's still better than not doing any exercise 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. These guidelines can be useful for you as well as for your baby through and right after the pregnancy.
