If you've had a baby a few months ago, but your belly still looks like you're pregnant, there are a few things you can do to get your figure back.
Not to mention finally fit back in your clothes and get your wardrobe back! 1.
Refine your diet.
You are no longer "eating for two," so it's time to start eating for you.
Starting a food journal will help you realize all the empty calories you are consuming.
Start eating more lean protein like chicken breast, turkey breast and egg whites, along with fruits and vegetables.
If you do your grocery shopping around the outside isles of the store, you will find much healthier foods like fruits, vegetables, meats, and dairy.
2.
Strengthen your midsection.
After pregnancy your abdominals have been stretched and will take some time to strengthen again.
Don't start any exercises unless your infant is at least 3-4 weeks old (six weeks for a caesarean delivery) and you have been cleared for exercise by your doctor.
After you have the green light, start off small with simple crunches and reverse crunches and work your way up to using the exercise ball.
Don't over-do it in the beginning, it will take some time.
Find a workout program tailored to your specific needs.
3.
Get 30-45 minutes of moderate exercise daily.
A great way to do this is to pack up the stroller and go to your local mall or university.
Pushing a stroller around is great exercise! Many malls open 1-2 hours early just for walkers.
Check with your local mall to see if they offer such a program in your area.
