Are you trying to lose pregnancy fat? Are you wanting to get your pre-baby belly back? Here are some steps to take to slim and tone the stomach.
Instructions
1. Clean up your diet.
Eat foods with plenty of fiber in order to keep the stomach flat and make it easier to stay at a healthy body weight. Make it easier to lose pregnancy fat by cutting back on your sodium intake in order to reduce bloating and swelling of the stomach.
2. Do at least 30 minutes of cardio at least 3 times a week.
Cardio is one of the most effective ways to lose pregnancy fat because of the calories that it burns. You could do 2,000 situps a day and not have a flat stomach if you haven't burned fat tissue that lies on top of the muscle.
3. Start strength training.
For all over body toning, pick up a strength training routine. Building a little muscle will also help your body burn calories at a faster rate.
4. Do pilates.
Pilates is an excellent way to lose belly fat after pregnancy and it provides toning for the entire body. Doing pilates a couple of times a week will help you work towards a long and lean look and it also helps with flexibility.
5. Mind your posture and the way you hold your stomach.
Keeping your stomach pulled in tight throughout the day can help you to firm the belly fat from your pregnancy. Stand up straight and don't let your stomach "hang out". It takes a little while to become conscious of this habit but work at it and it will help you tone your stomach.
