How to Lose Baby Belly Fat After Pregnancy
After welcoming your child, you might be eager to shed the baby belly fat. With focus and determination, you can quickly get back in shape by following a simple plan that includes strength training, high-intensity cardio, and a modified diet. In just two weeks, you can start seeing the difference.
Invest in a Stability Ball
To start, purchase a stability ball for around $30 at any sporting goods store. Most women will find a 22-inch ball suitable. If you're under 5'1", opt for the 18-inch version, and for those over 5'8", the 26-inch ball is ideal.
Research from Sacramento State University shows that using stability balls can help develop twice the muscle fibers compared to traditional crunches, making it a valuable tool for losing belly fat.
Effective Exercises
The manual with the ball will include various exercises, but here are two particularly beneficial ones:
1. Reverse Crunch: Lie on your back, press your legs into the ball, and lift it 3 to 6 inches off the floor. Hold for a second, lower, and repeat.
2. Rock and Roll: On your knees, place your elbows on the ball. Lift your body until you're on your toes at a 45-degree angle to the floor. Hold for a second, relax, and repeat.
Incorporate Cardio
Cardio is crucial to this plan. Aim for a 45-minute heart-healthy workout at least three times a week. This could be brisk walking, jogging, cycling, or using cardio machines at the gym.
Modify Your Diet
Adjusting your eating habits is key. Aim to consume 500 calories less than your maintenance level. For example, a 5'4", 140-pound active 28-year-old woman needs 2400 calories to maintain her weight. Her goal should be 1900 calories daily during this program.
Reducing calories can be easier than it seems. For instance:
- Swap whole milk for skim milk in your latte to save 120 calories.
- Choose air-popped popcorn over potato chips for a 95-calorie save.
- Replace traditional yogurt with ½ cup sliced strawberries and ½ cup fat-free vanilla yogurt, saving 105 calories.
Make 4 to 5 such swaps daily to help you achieve your goal.
Overcoming Challenges
With a new baby at home, finding time and energy for exercise and diet can be challenging. However, by following this routine, you can effectively lose baby belly fat and be on your way to getting back in shape in just two weeks.
