At Lose Baby Weight we get lots of questions about how to lose weight from bums, hips and thighs, so we are going to cover that here today.
We address the problem area of stomach fat in a separate section here.
Your plan for improving your behind and legs will be to make sure you have a healthy diet and avoid all fad diets to start with – The Lose Baby Weight plans are a great way to ensure you have a healthy diet which helps you lose weight. When you combine this with sensible exercise, then you have the solution for weight loss
Also, a point to note is that if you are a caffeine lover and drink a fair few cups a day (plus throw in other things like saturated fats, sugar and toxins), you’ll make fat cells in those “problem” areas bloat and hang out together. So stay away of these toxins and instead eat healthy foods that will help your cells detox.
What exercise can help these areas?
Healthy diet – tick. Now, start adding in regular cardiovascular exercise. It helps burn fat and without it, you can tone up all you want, you’re efforts will be well hidden.
After having a baby, stick to walking to start with and once you are regularly walking you can then start to increase the intensity of your walks – and you can get some tips on how to do this here. You can add in swimming once you’ve been cleared by your doctor. Cycling and running are okay once your abs have healed.
See the pilates side lying series video below. It’s very effective but please make sure you have your Doctor’s of physio’s clearance before doing any exercise after having a baby
Enjoy your workout and remember: positive attitude! Embrace your body and listen to it at all times. Less is so often more.
