Most women who have given birth find that they still have fat that needs to be shed if they want to fit into their old clothes.

The good news is that the three hints we will outline here can help you lose your baby weight and that these hints are easy enough that anybody can take them on. If you are desperate to lose the weight you gained while you are pregnant, you can follow the tips outlined in this article so that you will be able to get back to your pre-baby weight as quickly as possible.

The Reverse Curl: Women who have just given birth will have to work hard to get their abdominal muscles back to normal and reverse curls can really help with this. In this exercise you need to lie down on the floor, look up at the ceiling and keep your knees bent. Your feet need to be positioned just above your hips and and, keeping your arms on the floor, straight down from your shoulders and next to your torso, lift your hips off of the floor while drawing in your abs and breathing in and out. Lower your hips to the floor and then repeat the exercise. Try to do twenty repetitions. If you can't do all 20 right away, work up to it. Then work toward fifty reps.
Not only is this exercise good for your ab muscles and for losing the pouch, it helps you walk tall and with confidence.

Bridge Squeeze: In this exercise, you need to lie on your back with bent knees and your feet flat on the floor. Put a pillow between your knees and draw your ab muscles in. Take a deep breath in and then let it out while you tighten the muscles in your bottom and lift your hips to make a straight line with your body. Count to two while squeezing the pillow and then lower your hips. Do three sets of ten reps of this.

Walking: Harvard did a study in 2007 that showed just thirty minutes of walking every day can greatly improve a woman's chances of shedding her pregnancy weight. Women in this study lost an average of eleven pounds and most of them had lost all of the weight they wanted to lose by their kids's first birthdays. So get outside and breathe in that fresh air! While the time of day that you walk is not important, it is important to choose baby friendly weather if you want to take the baby outside with you.

It is important to make sure you take lots of fluids with you. If you do this every day, you'll lose the weight super fast.

There you go! These are some of the best ways that a woman can lose weight and get back to her pre-pregnancy size. Use these tips so that you can be sure you will fit into your old clothing after a short time.
