Everyone we know and probably everyone you know is having a baby. It’s that time of the year it seems. However, this is a part of nature that everyone wants to know about. This world may seem as it is only having babies this time of the year but let the truth be known we will be having babies today, tomorrow, the day after, next week, next month, and next year. But the big question from these new mothers to be is…

How do I loose the baby weight?

We all know that it takes one thing to loose weight that a lot of people take for granted; TIME. As after having a baby it’s hard work and it takes a lot of time out of our schedules. When time is taken up, we strive to make up everything we were once use to doing.

If you’ve ever worked out before, you spent your time doing other things you enjoyed doing in your spare time. But, why does it always seem when we run short on time we end up dropping the daily exercise?

But wait! We have a new responsibility on our hands now. We have a new born to take care of! We don’t have time! We don’t have time to exercise!

WARNING:PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE EXERCISING AFTER PREGNANCY!

TIME FOR YOURSELF:

It is said that when you are being a caregiver by weather it be by parent or other form of care giving it’s easy to get distracted. Time will fly as you are taking care of someone else’s needs. By the end of the day your energy levels are drained.

Take care of this problem right away before it takes care of you! Set out a schedule and get organized! If a person is not organized you don’t know what is going on and you WILL get lost.

Time Management!

For reference: Think back to your past, your sitting at your old uncomfortable desk watching the clock, waiting for that bell to ring, because you just couldn’t wait to get home to play… Remember this? Did you ever realize how slow that clock went while you were watching it? Goes slow doesn’t it? But, when you got distracted and started talking to someone guess what…that bell was ringing before you knew it.

EXERCISE:

Don’t have time to exercise? Find time to exercise, even if it’s only 30 minutes a day. If you can only fit 15-20 minutes in your schedule, DO IT! 15 minutes is better then no exercise at all. Doesn’t matter what you do, pump up that heart rate and get the blood flowing through your body. While doing this and eating a well balanced diet you will be improving your metabolism.

INCLUDE THE CHILDREN:

If this isn’t your first time being a mom, then I’m sure your not done after lying the new born down for a nap. You got other young ones to do for.

#1 tip we can give on this is to get your children involved. Even if you are new parent and this is your first child, when the child gets bigger and active get them involved in helping around the house and get them involved in the workouts!

EQUIPMENT:

We all know raising a new born can drain our pockets of our well earned money. Don’t let this be an excuse to you not exercising. You don’t need anything fancy.

Keep some small free weights lying around along side rubber exercise bands. These will be used for your strength training along side while toning your body as you loose the weight. The rest is simple at home exercises you can do at home weather it be walking, yoga or pilates if you do not have access to a gym.

FOOD:

We all know having kids in the house tends to lead to having candy and sweets appearing in our kitchen cabinets. Weird how that works huh? But, don’t lie to yourself, you and I both know we can’t keep our hands out of them.

Keep healthy foods in the house!

Be a good role model for your children and eat healthy snacks. Plan a day of the week to cook and cook it up in bulk, then freeze the extra. This will not only free up your time allowance to do other things on your schedule, but it will also allow you to stay on a healthy track.
