Mostly women face difficulty in getting their belly back to its original tenor after pregnancy. We have got for you some abdominal exercises which would help you bring your tummy back to its original size. These crunches are very much cost effective and you do not require any specialized instruments as that available in gym.
1. Regular Crunches – Lie down flat on your back with your knees folded towards the chest. Place hands on your abdomen such that you can feel the stiffening of muscles. Softly squeeze your tummy muscles and push the curve of your back towards the floor. Press your bottom firm. Seize the pose till the count of 5, and then rest.
2. V Crunches – Place yourself on the edge of a chair keeping your hands straight facing downwards. Sit erect keeping your spinal cord firm and then incline the body backwards making first half of V shape. Then squeeze the stomach muscles and move the legs upwards to make the second half of the V shape. This helps your lower abs get into shape.
3. Floor leg lifts - sleep flat on the ground with your legs firm and straight. Keep your arms parallel to your body and raise your legs about 5 - 7 inches from the ground holding in the same pose as much as you can without hurting your collar.
