Being a mother is one of life’s greatest journeys. Your body spends nine months carefully crafting your soon-to-be soul mate, but doing so may require a little more stretching than you like. You could complain about the changes and avoid the mirror indefinitely, or you could embrace the transformation and do something about it. The guide below explains how to get your post-pregnancy body back in shape so you can be the confident, go-getter mom your children deserve!
Use Post-Pregnancy Workouts To Tone Your Figure
With post-pregnancy workouts, you can target the areas of your body you’re not currently happy with. Most new mothers focus on their abs, but others may need to work on their arms, legs, necks, etc. to get their figure back to its former glory. Some examples of exercises for new moms include:
- Half Crunches — Lie in the standard crunch position, but only move your head up slightly from the ground. Focus on crunching your ab muscles without putting too much strain on your postnatal body.
- Superman Workouts — Lie down on your tummy, and raise your arms and legs up from the ground at the same time. Hold this position for 3-5 seconds and repeat up to 10 times per set.
- Squats — Squat down so your knees are at a 90 degree angle, with your hands behind your head or held directly out from your body (like Frankenstein’s Monster). It helps if you do this in front of a couch or chair so you know how far to go down. Drop all the way until your rear braises against the top of the seat.
Find postnatal workouts that can safely and effectively tone the body parts that were most impacted by your pregnancy, and you’ll start to feel better about your fabulous new frame.
Get Cosmetic Surgery To Renew Your Curves
Unfortunately, there are some bodily changes that working out just can’t fix. That’s where cosmetic surgery comes into play. If your breasts are no longer the size or shape they used to be, a breast lift or breast augmentation may be all you need to revitalize your post-pregnancy body. If you have excess skin coving your washboard abs, a tummy tuck could show off how skinny you really are. At Michigan Cosmetic Surgery, we offer a range of mom-friendly cosmetic surgeries to tone your body after pregnancy.

Find New Clothes To Show Off Your Motherly Glow
New moms have a radiant glow about them that cannot be replicated by any makeup on the market. If you’re not happy with your post-pregnancy body though, you may not be giving your glow the full attention it deserves. Take yourself on a shopping spree for clothing that showcases your amazing body, and your self-confidence is sure to skyrocket. When you feel better about yourself, you naturally look better to those around you!
