\"pregnant-woman\"<\/a>Have you put on a few extra pounds after giving birth? Well, in all honesty, you need to begin the exercise process before you become pregnant<\/a>. This will help prepare your body\u00a0for labor and the recovery. If you were pre-occupied or you\u00a0just procrastinated, there is still hope to get in shape. Beginning a workout regimen is a tough thing to do and sticking with a regimen is a whole different ball game. So, if you are first starting out, you definitely need to take your time (what little you may have), listen to your body, and\u00a0not over-do it by any means. I understand that lack of time is definitely an excuse, but if there is a will, there is a way.<\/p>\n

First off, I recommend starting a walking<\/a> program. This will slowly, but surely, get your body back “in-tune” and ready for gradually tougher workouts down the road. I recommend a half-hour or so.<\/p>\n

Secondly, after you and your body are getting used to the exercise lifestyle, definitely start adding weights and a gradually tougher cardio<\/a> routine. This will help “tone and tighten”\u00a0the body while shedding the inches. I recommend hitting the weights for 20 to 30 minutes followed by at least a half-hour of cardio.<\/p>\n

Below is a routine that may help you get back to the old you or even better, the new you! I recommend starting out with two sets of 20 repetitions, but listen\u00a0to your body and don’t over-do it.\u00a0Good Luck!<\/p>\n
