Good excercise techniques for that after baby weight?!


Question:

Good excercise techniques for that after baby weight?

i'm still pregnant and not due until august but with my first child i weighed 100lbs getting pregnant and was 162 at delivery and went down to 135 then to 125 just within a couple months time after having him. with this one i was 135 pre-pregnancy and putting on the pounds like crazy, i've gained 45 already!!! i'm pretty sure i won't "bounce-back" so quick with this one, my body has reacted completely different to this pregnancy than my first. I need to know a good but easy work-out plan i can do fairly soon after having baby while i'm just sitting at home.


Answers:

Getting out with the baby and walking is usually the very best thing you can do, but remember to allow yourself at least a week of rest first! Take it very easy, If you breastfeed, be sure to eat healthy and they "say" you should lose about thirty pounds in the first couple of months!

But in the first week, while you're trying to rest, do very simple leg stretches (lie flat on your back and raise each foot four or five times off the bed or floor), and small arches of your back (pushing butt up off the floor) contracting your adbominal muscles. You shouldn't do too much more than that at first.

Next you can advance to cat's-back arches (on hands and knees, arching back and stretching stomach), walking, and stretching your knees from side to side from a lying-down position.

Remember, as long as you're determined, you'll lose that weight. Don't get discouraged. For a while you may need to be in loose clothing, but keep your good pre-pregnancy clothes accessible as inspiration. Eating well and walking are the main two things, and drinking plenty of water.
