How to bring yourself in shape after giving birth - restore the form yourself

Many claim that pregnancy has its own unique beauty. Well, let's not argue. However, almost all women dream, especially on the last days of pregnancy, quickly get rid of the "decoration" and finally return to its former form. Some, after listening to or reading a variety of information, even believe that their figure will be at times better - feminine and attractive. In fact, only a few of the beautiful half of humanity easily return to their previous form.

Disappointment occurs immediately after birth: it would seem, gave birth - the belly should disappear. No matter how, the skin stretched out, and now, although there is no baby inside, the belly looks like the fifth month of pregnancy. Look closely, there are also stretch marks on the abdomen, chest, hips. In short, it's still a sight. Do not leave everything as it is, we must somehow get out of the situation in the literal and figurative sense of the word.

When is the time for exercise?

Just as you come from the hospital, do not rush to engage in physical education, fitness and other physical exercises. Even if you have an irresistible desire to start doing restorative exercises immediately, try not to succumb to it. The body must first come to, let it rest the entire postpartum period, it lasts from 4 to 6 weeks, otherwise the abdominal muscles that parted during pregnancy may not return to their original place. And how to get into shape after the birth, if you just do not have time to do everything planned, it will lead to irritability, unnecessary stress, which you absolutely do not need now. Devote yourself to the baby, take care of it, get used to your new position. About yourself you can think about when the baby is at least a month old, the first period of adaptation will take place, it will become easier to manage with the baby, there will be some free time. Doctors do not advise to exercise for the press in the case of natural childbirth for two months, after caesarean section - six months.

If the baby is breastfed, then do not go on a diet, you deprive your baby of nutrients. As the experienced moms say, the best cure for excess weight after giving birth is breastfeeding. For a couple of months of breastfeeding, perhaps, the excess weight will go away, you "blow away" without noticing how it happened.

Bringing ourselves in order

The maximum benefit right after delivery will be the wearing of the postpartum bandage, it can be taken with you to the hospital - a thing that is very necessary, especially if the operation of the caesarean section has been postponed. It is better to buy a bandage wider, it will fit better on your body, with such a bandage it will be easier to do household chores. To help the breasts cope with the arriving milk and keep it in its original form, even before the birth it is necessary to start wearing a special bra, you can even sleep in it.

Eat well, but do not pass it. Give up the sweet, so you and yourself will do the service and minimize the risk of allergy and diathesis for the baby. Switch to natural products, eat meat, cereals, vegetables and fruits( do not forget that red and orange products, for example, tomatoes, red apples can cause an allergy to the baby).

Try to walk more, it's good that now you need to go out with the baby to fresh air. If we take into account that the baby carriage and our roads are little compatible, then you will get both a walk and the necessary physical load.

Exercises

If the time is right and you have not "recovered"( especially often after the birth of the second and subsequent children), start physical exercises. Before classes, ventilate the room.

1. Very effective push-ups, and not with straight legs, but with bent at the knees, i.e.push-ups from the "on all fours" position. During the exercise, the back should be straightened, and you need to touch the floor with your chest.
2. To strengthen the muscles of the chest, do such a simple exercise: in standing position, feet shoulder width apart, bring your hands in front of you, folding them like before prayer. With maximum effort, squeeze your hands for a few seconds. Repeat 30-40 times.
3. Exercises with dumbbells after birth Topical exercises with small dumbbells. For example, you can take in both hands on a dumbbell and from the "lying" position, raise hands and bring them together. Or this option: standing, legs shoulder-width apart, taking dumbbells in each hand, raise and lower your hands.
4. For the press, do exercises such as "bike", "scissors" or simply lying on the floor, raise your legs and hold them at the height at which the muscles of the press tighten the most.
5. For the formation of the waist, you can simply twist the hoop.
6. To strengthen the muscles of the hips, swing your legs forward, back and sides. Depending on the direction of movement, different muscle groups are trained.
7. In addition, the muscles of the thighs are well trained by means of various attacks. For example, make a lunge, and then in a jump change your leg, and alternate.

In conclusion, we recall that the effect of exercise is achieved by regular activities, rather than overload.
