How to Get Rid of Your post Pregnancy Tummy 

Getting your body shape back after giving birth to a baby isn’t as hard as you think.
Research reveals that starting a routine exercise soon after childbirth is good for the overall health, and may help reduce any risk of postpartum depression. Here are some tips on how to get rid of your post-pregnancy tummy;

• Walking
It might not sound like a great workout, but walking is actually a simple way to ease into a new fitness routine after childbirth. Start with a quick stroll. Ultimately, you can work your way to a vigorous power walk. However, a gentle walk will still do wonders for your body, especially when you start. Bringing your baby along will add more weight and increase the benefits.

• Deep Belly Breathing and Abdominal Contraction This exercise is really easy, and you can even do it a few hours after giving birth. The exercise helps relax the muscles, and it begins the process of toning and strengthening your abs and tummy. Sit upright and then breathe deeply, draw air from your diaphragm upward. Then contract and hold in your abs tight as you inhale and relax while exhaling. Slowly add to the amount of time you contract and hold in your abs.

• Shoulder lifts If you can do head lifts with ease, you try this move. Lie on your back and inhale, relaxing your belly. When you exhale, try to raise your head and shoulders off the floor by moving your arms to your knees. If it strains your neck, then fold your hands behind your head, don’t pull on the neck. Inhale when you lower your head back down.

• Curl-ups If you can do about ten shoulder lifts, try this. Start in a similar position on the floor. Then lift your body until it is about halfway between the floor and your knees. Reach for your knees and hold for about 2 to 5 seconds. Then, gradually lower yourself back down.

• Kneeling Pelvic Tilt This inspiring exercise helps to tone your tummy. Firming up your abs can relieve back pain as well. Start on your four limbs, with your toes touching the floor, arms straight from your shoulder line, and palms touching the floor. Ensure that your back is relaxed and straight, and not curved or arched. When you inhale, tug your buttocks forward, while tilting your pelvis and rotating the pubic bone upward. These exercises are simple and yet effective in getting rid of the post-pregnancy tummy which may seem stubborn. After childbirth, some women are lucky to lose their post-pregnancy tummy without having to exercise; others will have to work to regain their fitness.
