Instructions
Step 1
During pregnancy, a layer of fat builds up in a woman's body. This layer is especially large in the area of the abdomen and thighs. Thus, nature stores nutrients so that a woman can carry a child even in the most hungry time. It is this fat that sticks forward so ugly.
In addition to the accumulated fatty layer during pregnancy, there is a strong stretching of the muscles and skin. These are the three main troubles that must be dealt with in a comprehensive manner.
Step 2
Doctors recommend doing press exercises 6 weeks after giving birth. After a cesarean section, 2-3 months should pass. It doesn't matter what your birth was like, before you start dealing with a bulging tummy, consult your doctor. Please note that if you did not exercise regularly before childbirth, after childbirth, heavy loads are contraindicated for you. Choose the simplest exercises for your abs, such as supine leg raises or crunches.
Step 3
Try to keep your abs in good shape at all times. Don't relax all day long. At first, you will have to control yourself every minute, but gradually it will become a habit. If this is difficult for you, various products designed to keep your abdominal muscles constantly tightened can come to the rescue. This is a postpartum bandage, electronic myostimulators, special slimming underwear.
Step 4
Cardio is an indispensable aid in the fight against postpartum fat. The simplest form of cardio workout is jogging. However, not all women can go jogging after giving birth. The fact is that labor activity severely injures the pelvic muscles. Because of this, urine leaks during shock loads while running. Of course, this is unpleasant. Over time, the muscles will return to their normal state, but so as not to waste time, replace jogging with exercises on a stationary bike.
Step 5
The natural way to lose fat is through diet. But during breastfeeding, any diets are not recommended. The best solution is to count the calories consumed. Note that breastfeeding is consuming an average of 500 calories more than normal. Breastfeed more often and do not overuse scones and biscuits. Excess weight will go away by itself, including from the waist area.
Step 6
A very useful invention for losing weight mothers is a gymnastic hoop. The industry produces special weighted models, with built-in massage pads and a calorie counter. The hoop hidden behind the door is almost invisible in the room. You can rotate the hoop completely silently, which is very important when there is a small child in the house. And finally, thanks to the hoop, you will not only regain your thin waist, but also significantly tighten the flabby skin of the abdomen.
Step 7
The most difficult part of the fight against the belly is stretched, loose skin. Fat can be driven off, muscles can be pumped up. But if your skin has stretched too much during pregnancy and hangs in an apron, only a surgical operation called abdominal plasty will help. Therefore, be sure to take care of the elasticity of your skin before and during pregnancy. Do a massage, apply moisturizing and toning body creams, visit a Russian bath or a Finnish sauna - all this will save you from excessive stretching of the skin.
Step 8
If the skin on your belly after pregnancy has simply lost its elasticity, daily self-massage will help you. Rub a nourishing cream or a special cream for sagging skin into the skin of your abdomen and stroke your stomach, actively knead it, pinch, in a word, make sure that the skin of your abdomen turns pink so that blood circulation in it increases. This will speed up the lift naturally.
