Just Had a C-Section, what can I do for my abs?

Well, a lady at my job recently had a cesarean commonly known as a C-section and though it was none of my business, in the course of the conversation, the subject of how to lose weight after it was brought up.

Intrigued on the subject, I google it up and it seems that while many women believe that ab toning exercises after c-section are useless, that actually isn't the case.

Though many women find themselves with the ‘mother's apron' that comes from having a cesarean section, there are ways that you can start to shrink this area and get yourself back into shape.

Experts say that the secret may lie in the fact that you have to do more than simply ab toning exercises after c-section.

They recommend that you also need to diet, do some aerobic workouts in addition to the actual toning work.

Now, you all know that the diet that I promote as the best choice is the Mucus-lean or Mucus-less diet of your raw and or properly cooked Fruits, Roots and Leafy Vegetables.

It’s safe to say nothing come close to systematically help with weight loss, health maintenance and detoxification.

Now, the next step to help ab toning exercises after c-section be effective is to include some sort of cardiovascular workout in your fitness program.

This could be dancing, jogging or taking the baby out for brisk walks of at least forty-five minutes a day, you will help to burn off more calories and increase your metabolism – not to mention your energy levels. Just as long as it elevates your heart rate and can be maintained for a length of time, you are all good.

If you don't have time for a long workout, try to fit in smaller ‘chunks' of workouts to add up to the calorie burn that you want to achieve.

Finally, there are a number of ab toning exercises after c-section that you can use to help tone that section of your body. Here are a few that have worked for other moms like you:

Pelvic tilt – By lying on your back with your feet on the floor, lift your pelvis off the ground while you pull in your lower abdominal muscles. You can either repeat this exercise or you can see how long you can hold your muscles in and then lower slowly.

Side crunches – To help hold in the skin that may be hanging on your stomach, you will want to strengthen your oblique muscles as well. Lying on the ground with your feet on the floor, put your hands behind your head, left up as though you were going to crunch normally and then twist to the side, letting the opposite elbow touch the opposite knee. Slowly twist back to the middle and lower down. Repeat on the other side.

So, I’ll be sure to pass this on to the said lady at work…via email.
