what is the best work out rutine to bounce back to before pregnancy shape???

Answer 1

To be in shape back, breast feeding is the most effective way. Save money and it makes the bond between you and your infant closer. By breast feeding, it contracts your uterus thus making you back to shape.

Answer 2

I would take it easy at first and do yoga or pilates...things that aren't going to strain you too much and are still very much easy to do. One thing that I've done and I love doing it because it really doesn't feel like a workout is the Carmen Electra Strip-Aerobics videos. I love them. They really do make a difference on your body.

Answer 3

Diaphragmatic breathing (Abdominal tightening on outward breath): Lying on your back, place your hands over your abdomen. Inhale and allow your belly to rise as it fills with air. Exhale through your mouth as you tighten your abs, pulling them in towards your spine. Your stomach should flatten, not bulge, as you exhale.
Kegels (Pelvic floor contractions): Can be done in any position. Tighten and hold for 5 seconds. Do several times a day.

Pelvic Tilt: While lying on your back with your knees bent, tilt your pelvis backward as you tighten your abs and exhale. Try to bring your belly button to your backbone as you push your low back into the mattress/floor. Hold for 5 seconds, inhale, and relax.
Stretch out the kinks: Lie on your back with arms and legs out straight, palms up. Bend at the ankles so toes are aiming for the ceiling, tighten thigh muscles and push knees into the bed. Pull your abdominal muscles in and flatten your back. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and elongate your neck. Press your hands back into the bed and hold this for a few seconds, then relax. This allows your muscles to contract isometrically (without changing length), which is safe on the body and provides an easy readjustment to normal posture after birth.
Active posture check: Standing – tuck your chin in to elongate the neck, pull your shoulders down and back, tighten your abdominal muscles while pulling your belly into your backbone, tighten your pelvic floor, keep knees soft, and increase the arch in your foot.

I would say anything cardio and of course eating right! Believe me I need to follow this myself, I still have yet to take off the pounds after having my son and he's 3 now, lol

Answer 4

Anyone who tells you breastfeeding alone will do it is either delusional or incredibly lucky!
You need to get cardio in, but don't start until your doctor OKs it.
And, remember, your hips may take months to get back down regardless of what you do.
