As important is to exercise cautiously during pregnancy, equally vital is post
pregnancy fitness. Ideally the right time for starting off with your exercising
session is after you've had your six-week postpartum checkup. But if you feel
fit and fine, then there is no hard and fast rule regarding carrying out your
post pregnancy workout. It is preferable to begin your exercises, only if you
feel physically capable of exerting your body.
Here are some post pregnancy exercises, so check out:
* Pelvic Floor Strengthener: this exercise is basically meant to improve your
pelvic region circulation and also it helps to keep your vaginal canal in shape.
It is a very simple exercise, in which you have to lie down on the floor facing
upwards and bend your knees, resting your feet on the floor. Now tighten your
vaginal muscles, as if you are trying to pose hurdles for urinary flow. Hold for
a few seconds and then release.
* Head and Shoulder Raises: head and shoulder raises serve as a perfect solution
to shape up your flabby abs. Just lie down on the floor on your back, keeping
your knees bent and hands behind your head. Take a deep breath and when you
exhale, tighten your abdominal muscles, lifting your head and shoulders off the
ground. Now slowly lower down. Do about 8-10 reps.
* Pelvic Tilt: lie down on the floor facing upwards. Fold your knees, resting
your feet on the floor. Now inhale and let your abs muscles expand. Now exhale
the air out, raising your tailbone towards your navel. While doing so, keep your
hips on the floor at the top of the tilt and squeeze your butts. Release after a
few seconds. Perform this wonderful exercise for about 8 -10 times. |
