One of the best ways to get some exercise in when you don’t have the time is to do it in bouts of about five to ten minutes. This can help the new mother with no time on her hands to get the exercise she needs, without having to strain her already precious time.
This is also another good way to keep you from stressing unduly over the fact that you aren’t getting enough exercise, because let’s face it, most of us can spare about five to ten minutes of time at odd hours during the day, whereas to give over a full thirty minutes to exercise is just asking for too much.
You can try out some of the exercises I have provided below in the last section of the book, “A few easy exercises”, or you could just do your own thing.
Just remember to take it easy the first few weeks immediately after giving birth and to ask your doctor when the best time will be for you to begin exercising in earnest.
Until that time you can always do a little bit of gentle exercising which is not really exercising, but more an extension of the work that you normally do. And one of the best methods for this is the one which I have mentioned immediately after this, the page on “Walking”.
That said, if you really think about it you will find that just by doing some of the normal day-to-day activities, you are burning fat off your body.
