Don't stress out if you aren't happy with the weight you gained while you were growing your baby. Losing the weight is easy if you know what you should do. You may be thinking that you will not have the time to exercise because your baby is so young that it needs to have you super close by almost all of the time. However, your baby probably sleeps a lot. If you get into the habit of doing your workouts when your baby takes a nap, you'll see lots of results. Here are a few things that you can do during naptime that will help you feel better and look better.

Latin Dancing: Latin style dancing will have two effects when you use it in your attempts to lose your pregnancy weight. Latin dancing not only burns lots of calories as you swing your hips, tap your feet and roll your shoulders, but it can also make you feel sexier when you need it most. Online videos and workout DVDs are a great way to learn a few dance moves even if you aren't perfect at them. This can be extremely fun to work out this way and best of all you won't even feel like you are working out at all. That means you're likely to stick with Latin style dancing longer than any other fitness routine, and that's when you'll notice the weight coming off fast.

Now, slowly lower yourself until your forearms are flat on the surface below. Straighten your legs to make a straight line. Inhale deeply through your nose and exhale through your mouth as you squeeze your abs, holding this position. The next step is a sort of push up move for 30 seconds. Repeat these steps three times. Doing this will strengthen your core while helping your posture and look better.

The Bicycle: This doesn't actually mean you will be riding a bicycle. This is an ab exercise that works really well for women who want to lose weight after giving birth. First, lie on the floor with your knees bent and your calves parallel to the floor. Put your hands behind your head and breathe in and then out while also drawing in your abs. Keeping your butt relaxed, bring your left knee up to your right shoulder while you extend your right leg. Your head and your shoulders need to raise up off the ground during this movement. After going back to the beginning position, repeat the motion on the other side. Do three sets of twelve to twenty of these a day and before you know it, your pregnancy weight will be gone.
