Congratulations to all new mothers! Hope you all are enjoying the company of your newborn. Are you all looking as fit and sensuous as you were before your pregnancy? It has been often seen that woman gain weight during pregnancy due to the various biological transitions that the body goes through during this period. The weight gain is quite natural but one should try to lose this after pregnancy (extra fat can result into future complications in the body). All new mothers wish to lose fat and gain back their sensuous hour-glass figure. Read on, as what follows can be of immense help in losing the post pregnancy fat. 

The fat accumulation during the post-pregnancy phase is mostly concentrated in the belly region and women end up with a protruding belly, which doesn’t look the best (to say the least). Belly fat if left unattended can give rise to health problems like diabetes and hypertension in the future. So, in this article we will discuss the various exercises that can be undertaken to reduce the belly fat. But before going for the exercises one must also keep in mind that exercise alone cannot reduce belly fat. One must undertake a balanced diet program coupled with regular exercise to flatten their bellies.  

The other thing that is very important is that one must know that due to the childbirth (in case of normal or cesarean) the abdominal muscles have undergone overstretching and also become weak. So the workout regime has to be such that it not only flattens the tummy but also strengthens the abdominal muscles to prevent sagging.

Kegel exercise
The kegel exercise is the easiest of all the exercises because they can be performed anywhere and at any time. This exercise helps to strengthen the muscles in the pelvic region.
First of all try to tighten the kegel muscles of your body and hold them in that position till you finish a count of 10. Now slowly and comfortably release the muscles and relax. Repeat the same for a set of ten. This can be repeated at least 2 to 4 times daily. 

Crunches for the Abdomen
The most trusted method to reduce the abdominal fat and flatten it. Lie down and bend your knees while putting your hands at the back of your head. Now slowly rise up while exhaling and inhaling while getting back to the old position. Crunches are really effective if done in a proper manner.
Perform 1 to 2 sets comprising of 25 to 30 reps.     

Love handles or Oblique exercises
This is an exercise for the muscles that are situated diagonally around the torso of our body.
To perform this exercise you need to take a position similar to the one that you took during the crunches. Here you rise our body in the direction where your right elbow will be diagonal to the left knee and in the next rise the left elbow will be diagonal to the right knee.
Repeat this 20 to 30 times in a set. You can perform 2 to 3 sets daily.
Do the above exercises at your home and see yourself gaining back your lost shape.
