How to ensure that Pregnancy Weight is lost quickly

No Comments »

Most moms have a tale or two to tell about pregnancy weight; I had a typical experience during my first pregnancy; you see, I had never in my wildest dreams thought I would add that much weight that would make it a nightmare to loss it all. I casually assumed that since it had always been easy for me to lose weight; that I would lose weight would very fast. I was wrong. Truth be told, losing pregnancy weight is extremely difficult that is why one must never become addicted to food when in that pregnant state. As I packed on the pounds through the foods and cravings, with the silly notion of ‘’eating for two’’, I brushed off any thought of anxiety over weight gain as I honestly believed that I would lose it just as fast.

After childbirth, I could barely stand to look in the mirror. I hated what I saw; still, because of I was a lactating mother, I could barely control the hunger pangs and just continued eating. Did I think ‘Lose Wight’, ‘Weight loss’, ‘Belly fat’? Not the slightest bit. In my defence, I started jogging but the pound weren’t falling off just as fast and due to demands, I could barely keep up my jogging routine; I tried dieting but it was not working because I was abstaining from the wrong set foods and eating just what I was not supposed to eat.
Due to the presence of so much estrogen released during pregnancy, most times, it becomes an uphill task to dismantle the stacks of fat firmly built into the body. Also, muscles disappear during pregnancy making it really difficult to lose weight. Anyway, as I stopped breastfeeding, I began to consciously reduce my food intake and lower the frequency at which I eat. I started seeing a semblance of the old me infront of a mirror.

My tummy still was not obeying any reduction exercise then I got introduced to lose weight DVDs which I almost did not use. I was amazed at the transformation my stomach took; it flattened completely. Through my experience, I learnt not to eat for two during pregnancy as well as to eat healthy. It was a really difficult fight; but tell me ladies, do you have an even easier or better way to lose all that pregnacy fat? I really wuld want to know.

Exercises to make you Lose Weight in the Buttocks

No Comments »

I hate it when my butt does not obey my movements; especially when it wants to fit into pants and it is just not working one bit! All the food I eat just goes down to my buttocks to build a home there. I have tried so many times but it would not lose weight. I often asked a number of my friends who gave me some steps on what to do. I have this close friend of mine who is an expert and instructor in weight loss showed me how to lose weight on my butt. It worked but it stopped because, I did not continue the exercises. She gave me the following:
  1. Walking: A long walk each day, keeps your butt in shape, as well as the muscles
  2. Squats: Squats are authentic for butt weight loss.. It could be rather uncomfortable, nut It fires every little muscle fibre running through your glutens and it not only works just for the butt for the hips, thighs and calves as a bonus. Squats should be a staple of any basic butt routine.
  3. Lunges: This is trusted another exercise that slims the buttocks down. Lunges work multiple muscles at the same time, they are so effective. I would refer you all to YouTube to see how squats and lunges is done.
  4. Indoor Mountain climbing: That if done rigorously slims the butt down.
  5. Running: helps in reducing and sharpening the size of one’s buttocks; it is a cardiovascular exercise that burns calories and tones the butt muscles at the same time.
  6. The Jump and Reach Aerobic exercise: (I have not tried this but people say it works) Start in the same position as a standard squat with your knees slightly bent. Squat downward and place your arms behind your body to prepare to jump upward. Pause for a second at the bottom of the squat, rock your weight into your toes and propel your body upward into a jump. Reach overhead as you jump, bend your knees as you land and rock your weight into your heels to protect your knees from the impact. Move right into the second repetition after you land and continue the exercise for 12 to 15 repetitions.
There are sit-ups that help the butt to shapen up. Still in all, none of them are easy to work on. The good thing is that they are goal oriented. So like I always say, let us be positive and that way we would lose weight real fast. I love you all and till next time take care.
