Fat Loss For Mummy - 5 Tips To Lose Tummy

Pregnancy or giving birth are the most beautiful, magical, and life altering experiences for mothers. Seeing their children grow up and bring joy & laughter to the family are the most precious gifts to them. However, trying to lose the post-pregnancy belly is always frustrating and heartbreaking. Often the metabolism is damaged from 9 months of over-eating and energy was drained from months without real sleep which lead to weight gain. It is saddening that nothing seems to work as you try to get back into your pre-baby jeans.

Mummy tummy is a common problem faced by Moms after pregnancy. It was every Mom's dream to fit back to their skinny jeans and wear tiny, sleeveless T's without the fear of jiggly arms or a flabby belly hanging out the sides. Below are a few tips for busy Moms who are on the run but wish to lose weight and keep slim at the same time:

1. Walking - alternate fast walking with short walking are short burst workouts which help in losing weight. This form of exercise can fit into the lifestyles of Moms who run errands and get around towns frequently.

2. Compound exercises - choose exercises that work as many different muscles as possible. Isolation exercises is used when workout ends and works on a particular area only. Compound exercises build up the most muscle groups at most areas of your body. Some compound exercises include free weight exercise and squats.

3. Total body workout - Muscles in our body work together rather than independently. Total body workout enables you to maximize fat burning and you can spend less time in gym.

4. Pair exercises - this exercise refers to exercise that targets opposite muscle groups, such as chest and back, or upper body and lower body exercise. The advantage of this exercise is to increase your metabolism rate so that you can burn more fats and calories than a particular workout.

5. 30s to 1min rest interval - Resting enables your muscles to recover quickly and resting below 1min enables you to focus at your task and raise your heart rate. Since you are not doing rigorous exercises, try not to exceed 1min of resting.

By doing 15 minutes to 20 minutes of the above exercises, they will enhance your goal in losing tummy fats and get your ideal body back. However, just exercise alone is not enough to maintain a slim figure and a healthy lifestyle. You must also watch your diet in order to optimize this fat loss plan.
