The Best Ways to Get Your Pre-Pregnancy Figure Back
Practice Kegel exercises
Kegel exercises help to strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor. As a result, you tend to lose that bloated tummy with regular practice. Begin with the simplest of Kegel exercises, like holding your tummy in for 5 seconds and then releasing it. With the passage of time, you can go to an advanced level.
Find alternatives
If you think you aren’t fit enough to join a gym or an aerobics class, you can simply find alternate ways to burn your calories. For example, walk up the stairs instead of using the elevator. Or walk up to your convenience store instead of driving your car.
Have patience
Don’t keep on checking your weight or inches every now and then. You won’t notice any difference if you stand on the weighing scale everyday. It will only make you feel sad about the fact that you haven’t reduced at all. Have patience instead. Wait for two months and then have a look at the weighing scale. When you lose inches, your friends/family will be the first ones to notice it and tell you.
Join a group
Join a group of new mommies and talk to them about your issues. When you vocalize your issues before those sailing the same boat, you will feel more at ease and find solutions to your problems. Who knows, through this group, you may get acquainted to a nutritionist or a fitness expert who has recently given birth to a baby! She might advice you on the right ways to get back to your pre-pregnancy state.
Life post-pregnancy can be a challenge and getting back to the pre-pregnancy figure can be a tedious job. But, the effort is truly worthwhile. Firstly, it makes you fit enough to tackle the demands of your new life. Secondly, it instills a lot of self-confidence in you that helps you go a long way. All the best!
