The life of those who have just become mothers is not easy. As if it was not enough to have to adapt to the new routine and deal with the mixed emotions of this new phase, mothers are still women. This means that the concern with the self-esteem and, especially, with the extra pounds brought by the pregnancy does not give respite.
At this time, the key is to take a deep breath and have patience. It's no use charging and not wanting to handle everything. Things will not happen exactly as planned, after all, life is like that. It is therefore essential to face all the surprises that will come lightly and preferably humorously.
For that, how about having a good time with your baby and, on top, enjoy them to burn some calories? Personal trainer Carina Rosin brings some physical activity tips that moms can practice with their little ones. Check out:
1. Invent outdoor pranks
Sunbathing can be enjoyed for your daily walk. Do not leave this task to the nanny! Remember that aerobic activity is critical to aid in weight loss.
When your baby is older, don't be afraid to dive headfirst into play with him. • Play catch, hide and seek and teach other games that were part of your childhood. Can half an hour playing with your child burn more calories than half an hour walking the treadmill ?, says Carina.
2. Ride your bike, rollerblade and (why not?) Skate
If you don't have these items at home, visit parks that offer the option to rent bikes. While your child is still young, choose models where you can take them along or even those with multiple seats, allowing the whole family to ride at the same time. The fun is for sure!
When he's a little bigger, it's worth a pair of rides: you on a bike or rollerblades and he's on a velotrol. Choose a safe place and have a great time! Besides losing calories, the intense day will make the little one spend all his energy. It guarantees a peaceful night's sleep (for him and for you).
3. Go to the beach and end up in the sand
It is true that after the woman becomes a mother, the peace is over to sunbathe all afternoon. But instead of whining, how about using it to your advantage?
Pick up the buckets, make castles (believe in the potential of repetitive squats to fill the bucket and walk back to the sand), play ball, and walk hand in hand with your child with water in the shin. Soft sand exercises require more physical effort and consequently spend more calories, according to personal.
4. Enroll in swimming with your baby
There are several special swimming courses for moms with young children. Since they leave their mother's belly, babies are predisposed to swim and get along very well in the water. In addition, swimming is one of the most complete sports out there and can be a great ally for you to quickly lose that unwanted belly.
Also, because it is an activity that also involves your child, you will have an extra motivation to attend it and will have no excuse for missing classes, Carina points out.
5. Go down to the playground
Leave the laziness aside and go down with your little one to play on the playground whenever possible. But it is not worth sitting just watching: be part of the game and enjoy to move a lot while dividing good times between mother and child.
This tip is proven by Shirley Hilgert, the mother of Leo, who is almost two years old, and the blog Macetes de Mãe.? We played ball together in the playground of the building. Is it always fun for both of us and fewer calories for me?
