Don't stress out if you aren't happy with the weight you gained while you were growing your baby. You can lose those pounds without much hassle if you know what to do. You might be thinking that you won't be able to exercise because your baby is so young that he needs you close by all the time. Of course, your baby will be sleeping a lot too. If you get used to working out while your baby takes a nap, you won't have to wait a long time to see good results. Here are three exercises you can do during that nap time that will supercharge your day and leave you feeling and looking your best.
Yoga: Yoga uses stretching and toning to get back in shape. Yoga is great because it is slow and virtually non-impact so it is easy to do while your baby takes a nap. There are lots of videos on the internet that will teach you a variety of yoga workouts; there are even apps for most of the smartphones that you can use to learn different yoga moves. Once you have been practicing yoga for a while, you'll see that you are feeling strong and good and that your clothing has started to fit better. Breathing through forearm planking is another fantastic weight loss tool. Then, slowly lower yourself until your forearms are resting flat on the ground in front of you. Your body and legs now need to make a straight line. Take a deep breath and slowly let it out as you squeeze your abs and hold the position. The next stage of this exercise is a pushup type movement. Do three sets of these exercises. This will also strengthen your core, which will help your posture, and you'll look much better, too.
Lunges: Lunges work the major muscle groups in your legs, which means they are going to be great calorie burners. In addition to helping you lose weight quickly, these also build up your leg muscles and that means that you can burn calories even while you are at rest. A proper lunge involves drawing your abs in while you stand (with your feet hip-width apart and put your hands on your hips). Bring your left foot forward until your leg is bent at ninety degrees. Keeping your right leg straight behind your body, lower yourself until your right knee almost touches your floor. Slowly raise yourself back up and repeat the action with your left leg. For a proper workout, do this five times with each leg.
These exercises can easily be done while your baby is napping. Even if you have to break your workout up into a few exercises throughout the day instead of all at once, that's still better than not doing any exercise at all. You can lose your baby weight if you really want to. Thankfully, each of these three exercises will help you get there--if you do them often enough.
These guidelines may be useful for yourself and for your baby throughout and soon after the pregnancy. Still, if you aren't pregnant at this time and you are looking for methods which can help you to select the baby's gender just before the pregnancy, then have a look at the links down below for a couple of recommendations.
