For starters, I was already working out before I got pregnant. However, I was more diligent with my exercise routine and food intake while my tummy got bigger.
After giving birth, squeezing in exercise was almost impossible. But, here are some tips on how I did it.
- If you’re a stay-at-home-mom; don’t get household help or a nanny for the first 6 – 10 months of your little one’s life. Do everything yourself.
- Eat something small and healthy every 2 – 3 hours. Yoghurt, raisins, apple, etc…
- Give in to chips and that sweet, moist chocolate cake once or twice a week. You deserve it. Just one slice though.
- Prepare and plan your meals as much as you can. Avoid anything “instant” or “fastfood”.
- PLAY with your baby for at least two hours a day. Jump with him or just show your little one how to jump!
- Put him on his stroller and go running with him for 30 minutes straight. It’ll be a fun rollercoaster ride for him and a great workout for you.
