How to exercise during pregnancy
Did you think that all the weight you acquired when you were pregnant would disappear as if by magic when your baby born?
Not really: most of the women gained an average of 30 pounds during a pregnancy, but babies only weigh about 6 to 8 pounds. While women usually lose the first 18 to 20 pounds in one month after delivery, the last 5 to 10 pounds do not disappear so easily. However, exercise can help you lose that extra weight.
If you do exercise regularly during the pregnancy, will be much easier to get back into shape. According to several studies, mothers who return to your exercise routine while breastfeeding lose even more weight than mothers who do not exercise. Another even more encouraging news is that most mothers who exercise they enjoy all the extra weight gained during pregnancy before the first birthday.
After delivery, you should start your exercise routine gradually. It is important to discuss this with your doctor who may recommend some simple exercises such as Hegel exercises to strengthen vaginal muscles or gentle walks outdoors. Walking will help you put your body back into shape slowly and also relieves stress. During the postpartum period, you may still feel pain in the back to take certain positions. And if you’re breastfeeding, you may feel some tension in the upper back due to the additional weight of the chest. Therefore, back exercises can be very useful in these cases.
As for your aerobic activities, you will only resume them at least 6 weeks after delivery. If you had your baby by Cesarean section, you will have more time to give your body to recover and gradually strengthen and further the operation for some time can take away the desire to return to enfrascarte in an exercise routine. Start slowly and be careful when exercising your abdominal muscles. Again, it is important to consult with your doctor to establish the appropriate exercise program.
Surely you do not see power when toning your tummy, but be careful and not do it too soon. It is preferable to start with exercises for the pelvis. Lie on your back with knees bent, feet flat on the floor, legs spread. Contract your abdominal muscles pushing on the lower back until you feel that your pelvis tilts or moves to your shoulders. The pelvis and lower buttocks should be raised a bit of ground. As you develop strength and endurance with this classic abdominal exercise you can add to the routine.
Remember not to drastically reduce calories in order to lose weight. Nursing mothers need more calories, and those who breastfeed and still need more exercise. In fact, during lactation, mothers need 500 extra calories a day to provide the proper nutrients to the baby. If you reduce calories, eliminate some of the important nutrients needed by both.
Exercise can be fun for you and your baby. Put it in the car and take a walk together, both will receive the benefits of exercise and will be an opportunity to share with your new baby. These precious moments when family will help tone the body and thus have more energy in the future, when you have to leave to chase the baby around the house.
