Restoring Your Former Self: 4 Things You Can Do to Get Fit After Pregnancy

Training While PregnantPregnancy takes its toll on a woman’s body and can cause her to lose muscle tone and gain weight. While some women can regain their former bodies soon after having their baby, many women struggle. Thankfully, there are some easy steps that can help you to restore your former self and get rid of the baby flab that tries to linger.

Why Is Baby Weight Such a Problem?

Many women want to get fit after they have their baby, but they continue to struggle with weight gain issues, even after delivery. A lot of the problems with weight gain after pregnancy have to do with changing hormones.

Women who stay within the recommended weight gain guidelines typically lose weight quickly after pregnancy. About half of all women gain too much during pregnancy and end up holding on to an extra ten to twenty pounds up to a year or more after giving birth.

4 Things You Can Do to Get Fit After Pregnancy

When pregnancy weight is bogging you down, it can feel overwhelming. Women often find it difficult to shed excess weight which can make them depressed. Thankfully, there are some tips that will make losing the baby weight much more effective. While you will not be able to lose all of it overnight, taking these four steps will help you to finally see success in shedding those excess pounds.

1. It is important women do not attempt to diet after having their baby, especially if they are breastfeeding. Instead, women should focus on consuming a healthy diet and feeding their true hunger instead of boredom. When women eat a wide array of healthy fruits, vegetables, and lean protein sources, the weight will naturally begin to come off.

2. Exercise is essential for losing weight after a baby and it can help to restore a woman’s muscle tone. Cardio is important and walking is an excellent cardio exercise that will not place strain on healing muscles and other soft tissues in the lower abdomen. Make sure to check with your doctor to know when exercise will be safe to resume after giving birth.

3. Staying hydrated is another important step for pregnancy weight loss. Many women do not realize becoming dehydrated can make them hold on to water weight. Drinking plenty of water is essential for both the mother and the baby who is breastfeeding.

4. Staying off the scale is important. It is wise to remember it took nine months for your body to expand and for you to deliver. The weight is not going to come off overnight. If you are a slave to the scale, this could halt your efforts. Pay attention to how you feel and how your clothes fit for a measure of success.

Give Yourself Time

Do not rush the process and attempt to go on fad diets to lose weight. This will only backfire. Instead, focus on becoming the healthiest you, you can be. With a healthy diet and exercise plan, the weight will come off and your health will be protected.

Conclusion

Your body has just gone through a lot of changes during pregnancy so give yourself a break at first. New moms will be able to better shed their baby weight when they focus on feeding their body the best nutrients and working to exercise as much as possible for better health.

Merry Christmas Eve 🎄 As you can see, I take Christmas very seriously 😂 Haha, a candid photo of me putting on my jacket before continuing to explore the magical @123farmorganics turned out to be my fave ridiculous holiday photo this year. The setting was so magical and while my face looks less than happy and appropriate for this 2020 holiday season, I can assure you that I’m all feels, holly, jolly and all jingle bell rock! I love Christmas, even  more so this year as it is allowing me to spend some comfortable quiet time in my holiday home while reflecting on the year behind me as well as looking toward the year ahead. I am so grateful for all I have and what is to come  and I wish you all a very happy and merry Christmas 🎄 #christmas #holiday #holidayseason #2020 #merrychristmas #seasonsgreetings #happyholidays #christmaseve 1K 23
