ONE FOR ALL THE #MUMS OUT THERE (Including mine - even if it is 25 years since the last one 😘) SHARE if you know anyone who this could help!!! ***THE FLAB DESTROYING 4!*** 4 Exercises for New Mummas Now these exercises will not only bring back your core stability (STRONGER THAN EVER!), but will also result in the toning and and fat loss around the midline. THIS INCLUDES ANY 'C-SECTION POUCHES'! First Exercise - The Bridge: 0 Weeks Onwards! This is a #corestability exercise which you can do fresh out of hospital! Begin with 3x30 second holds in the raised position with 20 seconds rest between. Your hamstrings, lower-back and glutes (posh for 'bum') should be tensed and the body, from the knees to the neck should all be one nice straight line. To make this exercise more challenging (there by making your core stronger) • Add time to these holds, 5 seconds extra. (Aim for 2 minutes per hold over time) • Add a small weight and hold it on your midline (Aim to build up to 10kg over time) • Raise the heels off the floor Through all this, ensure the belly button is still heading North! Seconds Exercise - Side Plank: 2 Weeks Onwards! So 2 weeks of Bridge has done wonders but it's getting a little stale. Time to add this to the equation to get rid of the Love-Handles! Again, hold the body in this position: 3x30 seconds to start EACH SIDE! The body must be in a straight line! You should feel this on the shoulders obliques, glutes and abductors. To make this exercise more challenging (there by making your core stronger) • Add time to the holds, 5 seconds or more (aim for 1 minutes 30 per hold over time) • Raise the above leg as much as needed. Ensure the body is still nice and straight. Third Exercise - The Abs Scissors Switch: 3 Weeks Onwards! Not just holds. We are repping it out! One heel facing the sky, the other 3 inches off the floor. After a HOLD OF 3 SECONDS, the positioning of the legs are switched. You should feel this in the hip flexors and the abs (mainly the lower abs!) 3x12 repetitions. So... http://ift.tt/2dybh5L #postnatal #postnatalexercise #fitness #babyweight #baby #WilLBfit
