How to care after childbirth:

Whether or not you lose weight in time after childbirth has a great impact on subsequent weight gain. The six months after delivery are the golden period for weight control. If you can return to your pre-pregnancy weight within six months after delivery, your weight will increase by an average of 2.4 kg after 8 to 10 years. If you cannot lose weight after delivery, your weight will increase by an average of 8.3 kg after 8 to 10 years.

After giving birth, due to physical conditions and recovery conditions, it is best for women to enter a fitness center for training two to three months after giving birth or follow the doctor's advice.

Maternal fitness should be based on the principle of combining aerobic exercise and strength training. The purpose of aerobic exercise is to restore physical energy and reduce fat. You can choose to exercise in the form of swimming, water aerobics, aerobic dance, brisk walking, etc. Scientific strength training can help mothers restore muscle strength throughout their body and regain their slim figure as soon as possible.

Exercise at home to get in shape

Many new mothers don’t have time to go to the gym regularly, so they can choose to exercise at home. Zhou Jingjing introduced several home exercise methods for the key parts of the mother's chest, waist and legs.

Breastfeeding and holding a baby are important "jobs" that new mothers have to do every day. The pectoralis major and arm muscles naturally need special exercise. In the gym, people usually use small dumbbells for bench press exercises. If you don’t have dumbbells at home, you can use mineral water or cola bottles instead. The method is to lie on your back on the ground or bed with your arms flat on both sides of your body. Hold a water bottle in each hand, lift your arms straight up to your chest, and then return to the original position. Repeat the movement until your arms are in front of your chest, then stretch your arms straight back and lay them flat, and repeat 10-12 times.

Leg exercises are also important. When exercising in the gym, you can practice seated splits or leg hooks. If you are at home, you can also hold on to the wall, or a chair, table, etc. with your hands, keep your waist straight, and slowly sit down until your thighs are level with the ground. Use your leg strength as much as possible and lift up. Do 12-15 times each training session. When you first start exercising, you can reduce the number of repetitions.

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of how to maintain ourselves after childbirth. The above are all good choices. However, when women lose weight after childbirth, it takes a long time to achieve a good weight loss effect. At the same time, it also requires persistence in order to achieve a good weight loss effect.
