Follow These Tips To Lose Post Pregnancy Weight

     Celebrity mums have a baby and two weeks later show up on the red carpet or in an interview looking like they never had a baby. You must remember that celeb mums drop those pounds super quick with the help of a team of professionals, supplements, diet meal plans and more. They also spend most of the days after their baby is born in the gym!

Whilst setting out on your pregnancy weight loss journey you need to have realistic expectations. If you demand too much of yourself it can be quite detrimental and if you are not eating nutritiously, even dangerous. Understand that you might still carry excess baby weight for a few months after giving birth and although Hollywood shows different, this image is positively normal.

Your baby grew for nine months inside your stomach, stretching your belly every day of the pregnancy period. Instantly after your baby鈥檚 born, your body begins to shrink your belly back to its pre-baby condition but sometimes this is a slow process. Your uterus will contract down to its normal size in about four weeks and as your body eliminates all the extra fluids you also might lose between eight and 20 pounds during the first two weeks of your infant鈥檚 life. Your hips and pelvis shift as well during pregnancy, so be patient as they return to normal.
Along with patience, eating healthily helps lose post pregnancy weight. Carefully consider food before you consume it and if it鈥檚 high in fat and sugar remember your post-baby pounds will linger instead of melting away. You will fit into your pre-baby jeans much quicker if you select a balance from the five food groups.

Exercise is important if you want to be successful in your endeavors to lose post pregnancy weight. You must increase your heart rate and burn calories in order to return to your pre-pregnancy self but you should follow the slow and steady rule. Childbirth exhausted your body so only begin exercising when you feel able to exert yourself physically. Many new mums don鈥檛 exercise until given the all clear from their doctor at their six week postpartum checkup. However, if you feel competent and renewed, then it鈥檚 ok to begin earlier. The exercises below strengthen your muscles and re-shape the stretched out areas.

The 鈥淧elvic Floor Strengthener鈥?improves circulation in the pelvis. It also shapes the vaginal canal. With your feet on the floor, lie on your back and bend your knees. Then tighten your vagina muscles like you would if you were trying to stop going to the bathroom. Remain in this position while you count to four and then relax.

To do the 鈥淗ead and Shoulder Raise,鈥?put your hands behind your head as you lie on your back and bend your knees. Breathe in and as you breathe out, tighten your stomach and even out the small of your back against the floor. Then lift your head and shoulders above the ground and gradually lower. Duplicate the exercise about eight to 10 times.
