Hi!
Post delivery the abdominal wall and muscles become flabby and loose .The most effective way to lose that extra baby weight around the belly is to eat right and exercise.
Eat a nutritionally balanced, low-fat, high-fiber diet. Choose plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grain bread and brown rice.
Do low-impact aerobic exercise to burn calories. Riding on a stationary bike is an excellent calorie-burning exercise.
Take your baby on a walk in a stroller around the neighborhood or at the park. You will be burning calories and spending quality time with your baby.
Do sit-ups to tighten and tone abdominal muscles.hope this helps.
