This is a great question and that’s why I wrote my book – which is to help time-strapped new mums who wants to lose weight while juggling household chores and baby.
I get many post-natal women coming for my classes looking for a fast and effective way to get rid of their excess weight and tone up their tummies. Many dropped out after a while as they could not find the time to come to my studio for an hour-long class. These women were desperate and asked me if I could come up with a diet and fitness program that they could do at home and still lose weight.
To help them, I interviewed experts in the diet and fitness industry and planned simple and effective Pilates regimes for these clients, and I am happy to say that my body conditioning program has helped them lose weight, build strength, enhance flexibility and improve fitness …without even stepping out of their homes!
First of all, I start them on a basic 15 minute Pilates routine that is targeted at the tummy, arms and legs. Then, when their strength is better, I teach them 5 maximum fat-busting exercises like lunges, push-ups and bicycle. You will see results in a month if you do my exercises diligently five to six times a week, combined with a low calorie diet.
I know how time-pressed my clients are, so I devised simple and effective exercises they can do anytime, whether they are watching TV or grocery-shopping.
Do you know you can get tone your butt and thighs while watching Oprah?
You can do this by doing body weight squats using your coach as a workout tool:
First, stand in front of your couch with feet apart
Lower your body until your bottom touches the couch, then slowly raising yourself up to starting position.
Do this during commercial breaks and you will have a nice and firm bottom in no time!
