Weight Loss Exercise for Moms

It's difficult for any mother to stay fit and get some time to exercise, especially those of you who have babies or small kids. So what can you do to solve this problem? You can take better care of yourself so that you'll be physically and mentally fit to take on all the challenges that life throws at you!

Given below are a couple of exercises that aren't too hard, but are very effective and designed for all you Bizymoms out there! These mainly focus on the shoulder and back so that you can avoid any injuries that come about through poor lifting biomechanics and postures:

1. Rotator - Cuff Strengthener

This workout requires a light theraband, which is a small thing which you can carry in your bag, so that you don't have an excuse to not exercise. This exercise can be done standing or sitting, whichever you prefer. Keep your elbows close to your waist, palms facing skyward holding the theraband. Pull the hands away from one another, moving your shoulders externally. Like this, do 3 sets of 10 - 15 reps. The focus in this exercise is on the rotator cuff muscles, which are the muscles which keep your shoulder intact. If they become weak from extreme use, you could possiblysuffer from bicep tendonitis or other types of injuries.

2. Tricep Push - up Extension

Make sure your hands are right below your shoulders and that knees are on the floor in a push - up style posture. The pelvis is sticking forward, giving work for the abdominals to stabilize the spine. Put the theraband below your right hand on the ground and stretch your arm in the opposite direction for a tricep extension. When you're extending your working warm, make sure that the wrist is in line with the hand so that you don't create any unnecessary strain on them. For this too, do 3 sets of 10 - 15 reps on both sides. This will engage your abs all the times keeping them strong. Be careful when contracting them as they provide a big help in stabilizing and keeping your back safe.

3. Spine Extensions with pulses

During your pregnancy, your posture tends to change because of the weight of the child, making you body lean forward and make the spine lean forward along with the shoulders. This makes the back muscles to get stretched and weak. Sit upright with your legs in front of your body, the legs being apart to the width of your shoulder and your hands over your head. Hinge forward from your heaps, starting with the sternum, biceps being near your ears. Come back to the upright position to do the action again. Again, you should do it in 3 sets of 10 pulses.
