After you have had a baby you will most likely be so tired from taking care of your new offspring that you don’t feel like doing anything at all, especially exercise. This makes it very unlikely that you will go to the gym or go outside for a run (or even a walk). Plus, having a new baby means you need to be there for your child at all times. So, not only do you need to find the motivation for exercise, you need to find the time to take it on. You’ll be glad to know that, in this article, we will talk about a few things that you can easily do from home when you have the time (baby’s naptime is great for this) that will help you get back to your pre-pregnancy weight in no time at all.

Drawing In: This is a great exercise for women who have just given birth because it helps them lose weight, helps their posture, makes their metabolism better and strengthens your core, abs and back all at once! For this exercise, get down on all fours and put your hands right under your shoulders. Then, pull your abs in and make sure your neck remains in line with your spine. Breathe in through your nose and then, as you breathe back out, pull your belly button up and in all while keeping your spine as straight as possible. Twelve of these equals one set and a good workout for your abs and core needs to be at least three sets long. You will need to slip on some wraparound sunglasses in order to completely concentrate on this strategy.
Bridge Squeeze: In this exercise, you start out by lying down on the floor on your back while keeping your feet flat on the floor and your knees bent. Place a pillow between your knees and draw your abs in. Breathe in and then breathe out as you tighten your bottom and lift your hips until your body forms a straight line. Squeeze the pillow for the count of two, then lower your hips. Do three sets of ten repetitions of this exercise.
