Exercises
Before you start your home workout, be sure to consult your gynecologist. Such exercises are suitable for most women, but you may have individual circumstances, for example, a caesarean section .
As an aid to the exercises when restoring the figure after childbirth, we recommend that you drink plenty of morses, compotes and natural juices, and also switch to a balanced diet. Move more and remember that in the first weeks after birth, your stomach continues to diminish unnoticeably, even if you do not exercise.
- Posture - something that hurt no less than the stomach. The back has bent forward, and the stomach is protruding, all this has been aggravated for nine months along with the growing weight of the baby. During the day, go to the wall, bending your knees at 90⁰, your back should be 100% snug against the wall. Keep this position all the time, as soon as you feel that again you go "like a pregnant woman", go to the wall.
- Pelvic muscles stretched during labor and changed their structure due to the hormonal background that was replaced during pregnancy. Lying on your stomach or back, cut 50 times a day the muscles of the small pelvis. This will help restore sexual intercourse, as well as avoiding occasional urination.
- The main thing that interests everyone in exercises for losing weight after giving birth is a press. You should start with breathing exercises - stand with a straight back, inhale - the stomach stretches, exhalation - pulls the belly to the back. Also it is necessary to start step by step in classical exercises on the press. Lie on the floor, put your hands on your stomach. On exhalation tear off the head from the floor - so do about 2 weeks. Further hands together with a head we lift upwards - 2 more weeks. Then, together with the hands and head, tear off the floor and shoulders, and as a result passes to the usual ascents of the trunk to the bent legs.
