Many women are able to quickly return to their pre-pregnancy figure after giving birth, which is inseparable from active postpartum exercise recovery. Therefore, after giving birth, women need to exercise as soon as possible and lose weight quickly so that they can quickly regain their figure. But what should you do to lose weight quickly?

Standing twist

Step 1: Stand in this position. Open your feet to shoulder width, inhale, contract your abdomen and squeeze your buttocks, pull the towel with both hands, keep it slightly wider than your shoulders, pull it tight, and stretch your hands straight to shoulder height and parallel to the ground.

Step 2: Keep your upper body steady and turn to the right first. Keep your shoulders balanced and do not hunch while turning. The rotation angle can be determined according to personal physical condition, and the rotation range can be gradually increased.

Step 3: Finish the exercise on both sides and move to the middle, then turn left. Repeat 3-5 times.

When pulling the towel and turning sideways, turn to the extent you can bear, and then slowly increase the difficulty, turn your waist further back, and stay still in this position.

Medicine ball toss

Sit on an adjustable bench and adjust it to a 45-degree angle from the ground. Lie down with your head facing the floor and your feet hooked onto the support bars of the bench. Hold a medicine ball in both hands above your chest. As your upper body rises, throw the ball straight up. Catch the ball and return to the starting position, repeating 12 to 15 times.

Abdomen

Sit on the edge of a bench or chair. Place your hands on either side of your hips, hold onto the edge of the bench, bend your knees, and slowly lift your legs toward your chest while leaning your upper body forward and bringing your chest closer to your legs. Straighten your legs and lean back with your heels about 12 cm off the ground. Repeat 12 times.

When a mother is losing weight, her nutrition must be light, with less oil and salt. She should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Fried, high-calorie, and high-fat foods are not allowed.
