Post Pregnancy Workout for Effective Weight Lose

It's every mom's dream to be back to pre-pregnancy shape if possible. Lucky are those who hardly put on weight during pregnancy, for rest of us only stringent body workout will help to get rid of the accumulated baby fat. 
For me, I started with below simple workout and have gradually increased the sets. Since every person has tendency to put on fat at different body part, it is always wise to choose specific workout to suit your body.
Though spot reduction is not possible but is it not beneficial to start with exercises targeting specific parts?

I get messages from many ladies enquiring about squats or planks. So I am putting everything below in layman terms so that any new person will understand (Picture courtesy:Google images, hoping to put down mine soon instead ;) ).

Do not start until you feel your body(postpartum pain/stiches) has healed properly. Since I had normal delivery I started exercising almost 2 months after my doctor nodded yes for these workout. Kindly first consult your doctor before starting any workout. Do read the Disclaimer at the end of this post.

1) For Arms, Forearms:

*If you have dumbbells then take 2kgs or 2.5kgs dumbbells (or more according to your strength) in each hand and do biceps, lateral press and shoulder raise. Do 2 sets of each exercise, each set=15 rep(repetition/number of times).

*If you have no dumbbells then stretch out your arms straight at sides and move in clockwise direction for 2mins, then anticlockwise for 2mins. This exercise is called arm rotation. Repeat as per your strength.

Biceps

Shoulder Raise

Lateral Press

Arm Curl

2) For the Bulging  Tummy:

*Toe Touching:

Stand straight and raise your arms and try touching your toe. Do as per your convenience. After sometime once you master it, try touching head to knees. Your tummy will go inside when you can touch head to knees.
Please breathe in while raising arms and breathe out while bending.

*Planks:

Extremely effective for tummy reduction.

Do hold the plank position keeping your back straight for 10-15secs. Breathe normally.

Do atleast 2 sets(1set=15rep/15 sec holding the position).

*Pushups:

5-10 pushups for beginners. 

*Bow pose of yoga/Dhanurasan: 

Hold the pose for 3-5 secs.

Planks

Head to knee

3)Thighs and Butt:

*Squats: 

Can be done with dumbbells or without dumbbells.
Take care while bending. Do very carefully and make sure not to hurt knees.

*Jump Squats: 

Better to do without dumbbell for beginners.

*Forward Lunges:

Can be done with dumbbells or without dumbbells.

Try forming 90degree angle. Be careful not to hurt knees.

Do 2 sets of each exercise, each set=15 rep(repetition/number of times).

Instructions:

*Running helps to lose weight overall. You can start with cardio for overall weight loss.

*Suryanamaskar is also very helpful if you are comfortable doing it.
*If breastfeeding do not overexert yourself. Start slowly and gradually increase the intensity.

*Always google correct way to do these exercise and breathing technique else might be harmful for knees or back.

*These are exercises that helped me lose tremendous weight after delivery. Extremely effective if done properly under proper guidance.
