Your body changes a lot during the 40 weeks of pregnancy. It brings out greater flexibility to your ligaments and joints, changes your center of gravity; your organs change their place as the baby grows. After the delivery, it is time for your body to change once again. Women want to get back in shape like they were before. Taking the stomach back to the previous state requires time and effort. To tone a flabby stomach post-pregnancy, you will need abdominal training and regular cardio to achieve the desired results. Below is a list of some of the steps you can follow to get to your goals.

Step 1
After the delivery phase, perform cardio for all your coming days. According to the American College of Sports Medicine, if you want to lose significant bodyweight, then build up to five to seven days of cardio each week. On the other hand, for moderate fat loss, three to five days per week would be enough.

Step 2
Start with low-impact activities such as swimming, walking, or cycling to bring back your body in an exercise routine. If you were involved in high-impact exercises during pregnancy, it would not be an issue to continue after delivery if your doctors say so.

Step 3
As a starting point exercise for 20 to 30 minutes per session. Then gradually increase the time to 30 to 60. This will result in significant weight loss and increased health benefits. Maintain the intensity form moderate to high to make sure that your session is challenging, and you are burning fat on your abdomen.

Step 4
Keep a record of your workouts in a notebook. Fill in the details of activities, frequency, and intensity. The key here is to adjust your workouts as you become more strong and fit.
