Have you being so busy with your new baby that you haven’t really had the opportunity to continue going to the gym? For new moms, it can be frustrating not being able to go out to the gym or to head our for a run as frequently as you once might have; but there are a number of simple and effective options that you can do safely and conveniently right from the comfort of your own home. Read to see our choice of the top four exercises that new mothers can do at home:
1. Slow Dancing
Once you notice that your baby as fallen asleep, seize the opportunity and dance your body away. By the time you do this for about 20 to 30 minutes, you should feel a little worked out, which is always a good sign that you have received a quality workout.
2. Squats
Squats are very simple and are an extremely powerful weapon for weight loss because they are a compound exercise which can actually be done at home. To perform squats, simply stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Initiate the movement by pushing your hips back and down until they reach knee level (imagine that you are sitting down in chair). To return to start, push through the heels and stand up. Always exhale as you come back up and keep your abs engaged too.
3. Stretches
Stretching is anther exercise technique that is not strenuous and can easily be performed at home. Sit on the floor and do some simple stretching moves; Pilates are a recommended exercise for new mothers and read all about the Pilates moves you might want to try here: http://www.trainer.ae/articles/health-fitness-pilates-for-beginners-1110
4. TVA/Pelvic Floor Activation
To engage the transverse abdominis(TVA) and pelvic floor activation, start by taking a deep breath in through your nose. Then, as you breath out through pursed lips, ‘’lift up’’ at your bottom, as if you were trying to stop yourself from passing wind. Next, as you’re still tensed at the back, ‘’pull up’’ at the front, as if you are trying to stop yourself from urinating. Keep the tension going, and gently draw your navel toward your back.
You can work with any of these exercises or even use a combination of them to help you lose weight and get back in shape after giving birth to a baby.
