Fitness after childbirth

Of course, after giving birth to most women, it's very unpleasant to look at yourself in the mirror because of the frightening loss of attractiveness of a once-honored female body. For new worries and responsibilities, from time to time, you can even forget about it, but we still recommend you, as soon as possible remember about fitness after childbirth.

When it is possible?

The first question put by caring women to the doctor is when you can start fitness classes after childbirth. Here, opinions diverge and, in principle, everything depends on you and your life before and during pregnancy.

Gynecologists recommend starting fitness classes 6 weeks after the birth, after the first examination, when the doctor will make sure that everything is in order.

But if a woman is full of strength and she even has free minutes on fitness - you can safely start with light workouts and stretch marks. Walking with a stroller is also counted as a fitness.

If during pregnancy you trained to the last - you can almost immediately begin with the former loads. But if you have completely abandoned the sport during the previous 9 months, the form will need to be returned very gradually.

The only taboo is swimming. In the first weeks with water, you can bring an infection.

Exercises

We will deal with the lower press - the most problematic zone after childbirth.

  1. We will need a weighting agent, for example, a bottle of water and a bandage to tie a bottle. Legs should be folded criss-cross, and tie the bottle just above the ankles. We press the lower back to the floor, we press the stomach on the back, that is, we draw the stomach as if we want to press it to the spine. Hands put under the buttocks. We raise our legs to the level of 90 ⁰ and do not fully lower them to the floor. On the rise take a breath, lowering - exhalation, the stomach must be strained, otherwise you will work not by pressure, but by inertia.
  2. Leave the legs raised at a right angle, throw them back to the head, tearing off the pelvis from the floor.
  3. We rest without lowering our legs to the floor.
  4. We connect the first two exercises: we raise our legs and throw them behind the head, then we lower them not to the end and again - lifting and for the head.
