Yes you can, unless your doctor recommends that you do not.  Check with your doctor to see which work outs would be best for you.  Most gyms have programs specifically for pregnancy and/or post-pregnancy.  If the gym isn't your style, there are many work-out DVDs that are for pregnancy.  The best workout in my opinion is walking though.  Find a nice walking trail or just take a few laps around the mall.....it helps maintain calories and best of all it is free.

I bought one of those roller things that you roll on the floor forward and back while kneeling. It has burned a lot of fat on my tummy. But I still have a little extra pudge from being prego. I think that sometimes your skin stretches and when you lose the weight, Presto- excess skin. It doesn't always go back to the way it was.

I had a baby three months ago and had almost no problem getting back down to my normal size because I exercised right up until the day I gave birth.  \n\nIf you didn't stay in shape before giving birth, it might be a little harder.  You must ease yourself into a workout again.  Check with your doctor first then once you get the OK, target your problem areas.  Don't expect walking or other cardio exercise to be your only answer to getting back in shape.  Some form of resistance training is a must whether it is moderate weight lifting, or body sculpting using weights, bands and/or balls, etc.  Resistance training will actually build up your muscle and help you burn fat faster and raise your metabolism.  Pilates is another great, low impact way to get your abs and waistline back in shape.\n   \nAlso, are you breastfeeding?  That is one of the best ways to get your belly down after giving birth.  Plus, it uses up calories.  However, if you overcompensate for your lost calories by eating too much, you will gain weight.  \n    \nAs far as your diet is concerned, try to eat 5 or 6 small, healthy meals a day because this will keep your metabolism going.  Also, try to choose healthy options that are high in whole grains and protein and low in sugar and fat.  You can indulge in some not-so-healthy things but watch your portions.\n\n    I know that it is so hard to find the time and energy to work out once you have a new baby.  Just make sure to find at least 10 minutes here and there to work out.  If you can manage to do that 3 times a day, then you're off to a great start and can build up from there.

I've been working out for 8 years now, so I'll tell you what I would do. If you were weight lifting yesterday....I would step it down for today and just take a walk with the dog if the weather is nice..If it's gloomy out hop on a treadmill for half hour or an hour. This will give the muscles you just worked out a little down time by workng other muscles. Hope I helped.

Actually, you should maintain your breast and vagina,at the first day you deliver your baby. There is an exercise for that part of your body. It is not too late, what you have to do now is doing the exercise for your breast and vagina. Try these..the cheaper one, if you urinate, try to hold your urin for 30 sec then increase it. While for your breast, try to shower it about 2 min each. If you have a chance to exercise ask the personal trainer about that exercise (breast), you can do weight training.

Of course. Always stretch your body before working out. Before and after. \n\n5 minutes warm up and 5 minutes cool down is fine on a 30 minute cardio. \n\nCardio works much better for weight loss if you are doing a good 45 minutes tho. Try to go for 45.

some people need to have small snack before working out for the energy which would be 30minutes-1 Hour before working out.\n\nSome eat after working out as well:\n\nThat's the time to load up on carbs-After Exercise\n\nA sweaty workout depletes the stores of fuel (called glyeogen) in your muscles. So replenish them by chugging some OJ or eating half a bagel. And do it quickly: studies show your body makes new glyeogen most readily in the 15 minutes after exercising. if you miss that window, you might not be as strong for your next workout. To get an extra glycogen boost, throw in some protein, too-like peanut butter on crackers, or a few slices of turkey on wheat bread. protein also helps repair and build your muscles after strength training. No snacks available ? At least drink plenty of water or a sports drink to replace what you sweat out : from "Health September 2006"

Work out with weights.  This may sound contradictory, because you are using up the food you worked so hard to eat, but in fact, you will build muscle that then allows you to eat and metabolize more, and it is literally a body-building thing.  You should ideally work out good and hard three times a week.  Ask your parents if you can buy a set of dumb-bells (often called "smart bells" these days), and take it seriously.  Or if they approve, join a health club.  Do your exercises in your underwear or a bathing suit, and work up enough of a sweat to need a shower after.

You can do squats as long as you have a chair near by to hold onto. I did them tell my 7th month. I also used a wall adn oh dont go down to far cause depending on where the baby is how big it is dont go down to far your body will tell you when to far is way to far. I put a link to start you on your path to a healthy fit mom and baby.

well you could run in the morning theUf youn lift weights in the afternoon then swim at night. Run in the morning to warm your muscles and body up. Then work on your strength with weights then the swim can soothe your body. IF you have to take somme things out, try to stick to this plan becuase it will warm you up then cool you down. it will also give you exercize and make you stronger.

Yes, in about 6 weeks. \nAlso, to stay healthy, you need to rest every other day. (If you work out every day, it can harm more than help!)\n Last piece of advice: Know your limits.

Yes, it wouldn't hurt.  After all if thats what you really want to do use the time to your advantage.  You will have to get in shape anyway so why wait.

if by working out you mean lifting weights, then definately hinder. if you mean doing cardio, it helps you lose fat if you do cardio on an empty stomach. however, some people lose a good amount of muscle mass by doing this so it is your risk.\n\nlifting weights on an empty stomach hinders muscle gain because you lack the strength neccessary to stimulate your muscles and induce growth. You have been asleep for 8 hours and your body is starving and craving for nutrients so why not feed it? eat a good high protein and complex carb breakfast at least before working out.\n\nid like to expound on the strength neccessary to stimulate your muscles and induce growth. This means that your muscles grow due to an increase in the amount of stress put upon it. If you constantly lift for 50lbs for 10 reps and 3 sets for a whole year do you think you would get any bigger? no. this is because you are not putting added stress on your muscles and therefore they have no need to grow. It is only by pushing you muscles to their very limit every single time that muscle growth and hypertrophy is achived. This, in turn, is very harrd to do on an empty stomach. where are you going to get all that energy neccessary for maximum output if you havent eaten anything in the last half day(8-12hrs)?
