Moms give unconditional love to their kids, but often don't give that same love to their own bodies. No matter what pre-pregnancy fitness level a new mom was in, it will take some work to get muscles back in shape post-baby.
With Mother's Day right around
the corner, Fitness Showcase, Partnered with Life Fitness is sharing top
workouts for moms who sacrifice fitness time to take care of their families.
Don't skip cardio. Even
if you do mostly strength training and toning exercises, you won't be able to
see your muscles if they're covered by a layer of baby fat. Boost your cardio to burn calories and show off those muscles you are building. Spend 20
to 30 minutes on the elliptical trainer or
the treadmill before or
after you hit the weights.
Test out Pilates. Pilates
can be the answer to zipping up your skinny jeans again. Pilates is a system of
precise, focused movement that strengthens the abs, the pelvic floor muscles,
and the entire back.
Pilates emphasizes on
contracting the Transverse Abdominis, the deepest layer of the abdominal wall.
Its fibers run horizontal across the abdomen and around the back, acting as an
internal girdle. Every Pilates exercise starts with this deep contraction
helping to close abdominal separation from the inside.
Be smart in the
kitchen. Remember to eat clean any chance you can. Skip preservatives,
chemicals and added sugars that cause inflammation, fat build-up and cravings.
Aim to eat mostly colorful fruits, vegetables and lean proteins. Keep in mind
that exercise and nutrition are so intertwined that you likely can't accomplish
a fitness goal unless both areas are working in sync.
