Many women aspire to achieve a remarkable post-baby body, but the question is: are they actively putting in the effort to achieve it? Multiple studies have found that more than 75% of women do not lose their pregnancy pounds. A few factors that play a part in this are the lack of support from the spouse, family, and friends, and hormonal changes.
Motherhood comes with sleepless nights and exhaustion throughout the day. Despite all of this, exercise with a balanced diet has been shown to increase energy levels and, in turn, be very beneficial for both baby and mother. Consult your physician and make time for yourself because progress requires active commitment and effort.
Here is a small list of workouts that any new mother can focus on to get that pre-baby body back:
- Yoga
- Pilates
- Swimming
- Stationary Bike
- Bodyweight Exercises
- Resistance Band Work
If you lack motivation, then seeking guidance from a personal trainer would be the best option. Every woman’s postpartum journey is unique, so a personal trainer can help tailor your exercise routine to your own needs and capabilities. Remember to start slowly, always listen to your body, and nourish yourself with complete and wholesome foods.
