A PrivateMessage From The Author
Hi there, my name is Jago Holmes, principaltrainer here at New Image Fitness Ltd in the UK.
And an extremely warm welcome to The BabyBelly Fat Loss Plan a complete exercise and diet program forrecovering after having a baby.
The program consists of 3 books which you nowhave in one file. There is a lot of information in this book, butIve tried to design the manual to make exercising after having ababy as simple as possible.
All the exercises are clearly described andshown in detail at the end of section 1.
The KEY to you achieving your weight loss andstomach shaping goals is to be consistent. You may not see changesin the space of 24 hours but over a few days you will notice adifference and over the course of the 8 weeks the changes will beDRAMATIC.
Dont forget to approach your recovery fromall three angles that this plan dictates... that is diet, exerciseand pelvic floor. For total success you must give your time andattention equally between the three.
The exercises are very quick they have beendesigned to fit in with baby feeds and changes but as with allthings in life, you will only reap the rewards if you takeACTION.
I have tried to design the exercise sectionof this manual so it reads easily and is as simple as possible tofollow. With this in mind I have created three sections:
Section 1 is the educational element, which Istrongly advise you read it isnt heavy going, I have simplifiedthings as much as I can and there are some really important factsthat you should be aware of.
Section 2 contains all the workout sheets foryou to follow. And finally
Section 3 gives all the specific exercisesand techniques with pictures to help you perform the movements.
P.S. One final word, even though theseexercises arent very physically demanding to do, you willoccasionally not feel like or have the time to do them dont worryif that is the case with you sometimes, just make sure its theexception rather than the rule.
If you need to take a rest, then take a rest.Never EVER push yourself too far out of your own comfort zone atthis stage and obviously you should always consult your doctor ormidwife before starting any program of exercise of this nature.
H ow Pregnancy AffectsYour Body?
During pregnancy your body changes anddevelops in dramatic ways. The growth of the baby places all areasof your health and fitness in a state of change. To allow for thischange your body adapts in a number of ways:
The Effects Of Relaxin
During pregnancy your body produces relaxinwhich is a hormone created in order to give increased movement tothe pelvis, abdominal muscles and pelvic floor. Higher relaxinlevels will also lead to much weaker and more unstable jointsthroughout the whole body, especially the hips and back.
THE EFFECTS ON THE BACK CAN BE VERY SEVERE.The ligaments which connect the vertebrae are slackened toaccommodate the growing baby and the increased stretching andsubsequent weakening of the abdominal muscles increase the stresson the spine still further.
The pelvic bones and joints are the mostvulnerable area in the body during pregnancy and they will separateslightly which may cause pain and discomfort.
After your baby is born, production ofrelaxin stops immediately. But the effects on the ligaments andjoints will continue for up to 5 months so you should continuewith caution and avoid any over stretching or excessive reachingmovements.
What Happens ToMy Stomach During Pregnancy?
Because of the effects of relaxin and thegrowing baby, the abdominal muscles suffer enormous stretching andlengthening. Sometimes the waist can be increased by up to 20inches. This is known as diastasis recti or separation of therectus muscles. This separation will reduce naturally butperforming pelvic tilt exercises will dramatically speed uprecovery.
What Happens To My Stomach During CaesareanSection?
What Happens To My Stomach During ACaesarean Section
During a caesarean section the abdominalmuscles are not actually cut. The incision is just above the pubicbone and the muscles are pulled apart, not damaged. When the babyhas been taken out, the rectus sheath is repaired and then themuscles realigned.
After a caesarean section the abdominalmuscles recovery will technically be the same as for a vaginaldelivery. As long as there is no pain felt, the pelvic tiltingexercises can be performed in exactly the same way as normal. It isquite usual to feel numbness around the abdomen and a tingling ortightening around the scar, but youll be fine to do the pelvictilt exercises that you feel comfortable with.
