Do you look in a mirro and wish you could lose the weight put on during pregnancy?
With Bye Bye Baby Weight you could lose the weight you want
Being a mother of two I know how hard it can be to lose weight after having a
baby and how much a woman dreams of being back to her size before she got pregnant. Over the years I have discovered a solution.
After having my first child I began thinking of how I could possibly get back to my regular size which some days seemed imposible. I began reading a lot of books about excersize and learning about everything I could out of the small amount of books I had on pregnancy and eating right. It is very important to eat healthy whether your pregnant or whether your not. Drinking enough walter will help you not retain as much.
If you have been left with stretch marks which I have and many other woman have been there is something that may help drop the notice of them. I am very self consiouce when it comes to my stretch marks but after using Coco butter I noticed a change in the look of them. I finally wasnt uneasy about showing my belly, afraid I'd be laughed at.
Most pregnancys leave you with wieght that you wish would have been gone after having your little one. Unfortunanty there is no easy way to lose weight. It takes time and patients and it is very important to feel good about yourself.
I have come up with an excercise routien that will show incredable difference within a month or two. Every body has a limit and it is important not go push yourself too far past that limit. Begin the excersise at night, i found it works off the weight faster then excercising in the day. Cut back a bit on snacks, I'm not saying cut them all off if you enjoy them but if you notice your taking a bag of cookies and eating a row to yourself try taking just a couple cookies instead.
Wear comfortable clothes when preparing to start your excersize, it is important to be as comfortable as possible.
Lets Begin
Step One- Leg Ups-Best thing to remember is not to do too many at once.
Lay on the floor on your back, legs together and begin lifting one leg up about a foot off the floor then bring it back down. You will begin to feel the tightning in your thigh near where your bottom is. Once you feel that tightning it will begin to get harder to lift your leg. Once you get this feeling do a few more and then lower your leg back down. Rest for a few minutes if you need to and then begin the other leg repeating what you just did but with the oposite leg.
Step Two-Backward Leg Ups
Get onto your tummy side, hands on the floor in the position of push- ups but keep your knees on the floor. Strretch one leg out and lift it upward then lower it down and touch the floor with your toes. Continue this until you feel the tightning, then do a few more and stop. Rest for a minute if you need to then continue onto the next leg.
If your need a water break you can use this time to take one.
Step Three-Side Cruncher
Lay on one side, but your back is fairly straight. So this means your hips and legs are on their side but your upper body you have on your back. Keep your legs bent for balance. Hands behind your head you crunch your upper body upward towards your hipps and legs. This is going to tighten your sides and get rid of those love handels. Crunch until you feel the tightning then do a few more and switch to the other side and repeat what you just did on the oposite side.
Step Four- Crunches
For this you will need a couch or something sturdy to put your legs on. Lay on your back with your butt to the couch or chair. Your legs are rested on top of the couch or chair in a sitting position, but laying down. Hands across chest or behind your head you crunch upward towards your legs. Remember a crunch doesnt always work better if you go all the way up to your knees. Just crunch up a little till you feel the tightning. After feeling the tightning do a few more and then stop and rest.
If you need more water please feel free to do so at any time during this routien. Water is very important.
Step Five- Leg Reachers
Lay on your back, legs straight and put your hands together stretched out rested on the lower tummy as far as you can reach. Your going to stretch your arms towards your toes almost as if you were about to do a crunch but stay in the laying position. Then lay yourself down and repeat the action until you feel that tightning feeling. You will know when you need to stop and when you feel that do a few more and then stop.
Step Six- Run
Stand up and beginng jogging in one spot for about 5 minutes. Begin into a run for about 8 minutes and then slowy begin slowing down to a stop.
Rest and drink some more water you have now completed Bye Bye Baby Weight.
Be sure to continue this routein every evening and if you are feeling up to it and having more energy you can do this routien twice a day.
Good Luck!!!!! Congradulations on becoming a mommy
