How to Lose Weight (and Belly Fat) After Baby
by Ada Denis
Are you a new mommy? Do you want to lose some weight? Does
your belly need some firming up? If so, here are some tips
to get you started and motivate you to lose the weight and
firm up your belly.
1. Once you are cleared by your doctor to exercise, take
note of what you are eating. In a journal or notebook, start
by righting down what you are eating and drinking throughout
the day including the calorie count/fat intake. Do this for
about 3-5 days to get a handle on how many calories you're
eating.
2. Now look at your food journal and make a conscience
choice to cut down on the calories by either portion sizing
or the types of food you're eating. Check with your doctor
or nutritionist first, but I feel to lose weight you need to
cut back to 1200-1600 calories a day if you're a woman. The
"trick" to losing weight is to eat less and move more during
the day to burn calories. You don't need to eat "diet" food,
just limit your food intake to smaller portions or more
healthy choices.
3. To move more (burn calories), you can go for power walks
or jogging (with baby in a stroller) or join a gym and put
baby in their childcare room. You really need to exercise at
least 4-5 times a week at first for at least 30-45 minutes
per session. Get your heart rate up, but notice you should
still be able to carry on a short conversation while doing
so. (Running/jogging is the fastest way I've found to lose
weight). Walk or jog uphill if you can - this burns the most
calories and helps strenthen the core muscles around your
belly.
4. Sit ups using an exercise ball Sit ups using an exercise
ball To lose the belly fat, the best way I've found is to
use an exercise ball and incorporate sit ups into your
routine. Do at least 30-50 sit ups on the ball at the end of
each exercise session of cardio. After several weeks of
doing sit ups and exercise, you'll begin to notice your
stomach muscles tightening up. - 15668
