Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all? Not feeling too fabulous these days? Well, that's not the question to ask a Mom who is struggling to lose the pregnancy weight. But the good news is that you can overcome the lingering "spell" of Mother Nature's pregnancy weight and re-claim a toned and lean body. Here's how you can have a fairy tale ending.
The 21st century Mom is expected to juggle work and family and look fabulous during pregnancy and after pregnancy. Unfortunately, most Moms don't have the luxury to hire a full-time nanny, personal trainer, chef, assistant or dietician to quickly lose weight after giving birth in order to keep her as the fabulous super Mom she's expected to be. That's the reality of the rich and famous. But do you want to live your life under the constant scrutiny of the paparazzi and the general public?
Thankfully, Moms don't have the constant pressure to be thin at all cost, all the time. You have the luxury to lose your tummy by living a healthier lifestyle. Long-term weight loss and management is more than just following a diet or exercise program. It is about finding a lifestyle program that will best suit your needs and get you on the fast track to lose pregnancy weight fast.
1. The Big Picture
A busy Mom is always pressed for time and finding time to complete 50 minutes on the treadmill at the gym can be a difficult to squeeze into the weekly schedule. Thus, a good lifestyle program should have an exercise program that can require little space and therefore can be done any place. The workouts should be designed to maximize losing the baby fat within a short time frame. There should be easy access to contact the fitness professional or staff for assistance, extra support and advice. Useful resources should be available to supplement the program and keep your momentum of change moving forward.
2. Fat Burning Exercises
Any form of exercise is a good thing. But if you are a busy Mom with no time for the gym to complete a 45 minute run on the treadmill to trim your tummy, then you need a lifestyle program that has an exercise program that is best suited for your needs. This means that the workouts must be user-friendly, designed to lose your tummy, and can be done at home. The exercise program should include resistance training.
Resistance training is a form of strength training that uses force such as free weights or your own body weight to strengthen your muscles. Also studies show that when done at high intensity in short intervals, it is more efficient at burning fat over a 24-hour (post-exercise) period than aerobic exercise. Because training is done in short intervals, a workout session can be done in 15 minutes. It is also the strength training of choice for those looking to get lean, toned muscles. Toned muscles are the fat burning factories in your body. If losing the baby fat is your goal, and then resistance interval training at high intensity gives you the double benefit of toning your body and losing the weight.
3. Useful Resources
All lifestyle programs should be supplemented with a variety of resources that will give you current information on health, fitness and nutrition. It should also address the needs of busy Moms such as meal planning, quick and healthy recipes, overcoming bad eating habits, organizational skills and tips for time management, etc. As mentioned before, a respectable lifestyle program should have a means of connecting with other members within the community for extra support and encouragement. This will keep things fresh and real.
You can have the fairytale ending of a fit, lean body and a healthier life style for you and your family. The key is to find a lifestyle program that is affordable and uses a holistic way of dealing with weight management. It should have a workout program designed for both weight loss and body tone. Lastly, it should be geared for the user, which means it should be able to accommodate the needs of the busy Mom.
