For women that have been pregnant and worked hard to get their pre pregnant stomach back, they know that it is possible. For those women that are in their first pregnancy, most of them are unsure if they will ever get back to their pre pregnancy stomach.
I have great news for you. It is possible and it is really not that hard. You just need to be dedicated and work hard and within just a few months you can be back to where you want to be. My wife had our first baby 2 years ago. She was very set on getting her pre pregnancy body back and she did some specific exercises to help achieve this goal in under 3 months. This is keeping in mind that her doctor did not clear her to exercise for the first 4 weeks. So it was really within 2 months that she was back to the body she wanted. The exercises she used to shed the pounds were a pretty wide variety. She did some running, cycling, and abdominal exercises.
When her doctor gave her the okay to begin working out she started with light jogging. She was not sure what her body could take and she did not want to over exert herself and cause an injury. After just a few days she felt like some strength was returning and she began running with more of a purpose. She would run a few miles a couple times a week.
Before she was pregnant she enjoyed taking cycling classes at the gym. She felt like the cycling was an incredible overall workout for her body, including her abs. She was a little cautious to take cycling classes right away because of soreness from the pregnancy, but as soon as she was comfortable with it and there was no pain she got right back involved with the cycling classes. Cycling is one of the best all around exercises and has one of the least amounts of stress on your joints of any exercise. If you feel you are able to take some cycling classes then I would suggest doing that. The reason I say cycling classes or suggest you cycle at the gym is because if you ride on the road it will be very bumpy and could be much more uncomfortable then riding on a steady exercise bike.
My wife’s biggest goal was to get her pre pregnancy stomach back. Her focused exercises for this were abdominal exercises. All though the running and cycling worked incredibly to help get her body back in shape it is the fine tuning of the abdominal exercises that will get you your stomach back. Instead of doing crunches and sit ups, which require lying on your back and caused my wife discomfort, she focused on ab work outs that were standing or a four on the floor type of a workout. Some people say that nice abs start in the legs, so she focused on leg lifts and bends to work out her stomach and achieve her goals.
Find out what exercises you enjoy, then get out there and workout. There are tons of different abdominal work outs you can do. Take some time and try different techniques until you find the ones that are right for you. It is possible to lose that pregnancy weight and return to your pre pregnant body, you just have to work hard.
