Exercises to reduce Hip Fat :- Hips have become unformed after delivery, so these exercises will reduce fat

Verified by Fitness Expert Sonia Bakshi Heavy hips are a common problem for almost all new moms after pregnancy. No matter how shapely your hips were before pregnancy, you will notice changes after giving birth.

The changes start from the time you conceive and continue till you give birth. Often pregnant women think that this change in the shape of the butt is due to sitting for a long time, but in reality, a hormone works behind it.

Yes, the main reason that triggers this change is the hormonal changes in the body of pregnant women and during childbirth. During childbirth, relaxin, a hormone responsible for relaxing the muscles and joints of the pelvic area, is produced by the body and as a later effect; the hips reach their maximum size soon after giving birth.

However, as time passes, the hormones in the body also naturally decrease and as the body's hormonal levels gradually return to normal, you are most likely to get back to your previous shape. But there are many cases when women are unable to get back to their pre-pregnancy shape naturally.

Expert opinion

Going back to a fitness routine can help tone your hip muscles and get back in shape. This is important to reduce your hip fat after pregnancy. In this article, we are telling you about some exercises that can help you reduce the fat of the hips after delivery. The founder of Dance to Fitness Studio, fitness expert Sonia Bakshi is telling us about these exercises.

Sonia ji says, 'Before doing anything after pregnancy, do consult your gynaecologist. Also, don't push yourself right from the start because right after the baby is born, the body is in a state of recovery and needs rest. Start the exercise slowly and increase it over time.

Walk

The best way to start exercise is to walk for 20 to 30 minutes. When you feel that you can walk so comfortably, then add a little jogging to it. While doing this, walk for 5 minutes and jog for 1 minute.

Exercise in stairs

Use the stairs. But do not climb the stairs comfortably but by running. Then come down to the normal speed. If you feel that you are out of breath, then reduce the speed of climbing and go up and down the stairs as normal.

Squats

You can do squats to reduce the fat on the hips. While doing this, your feet should be at shoulder width. Hips should be slightly behind and hands should be in front. Then slowly sit down and make the hips parallel to the ground. Then stand up straight. You can also do many variations of squats.

Leg raises

It is also a very good exercise to reduce the fat on the hips. Practising this exercise helps in strengthening the hip and pelvic muscles. To do this exercise, first of all, lie down on the ground. Then raise one of your legs upwards. Then do this exercise with the other leg.

Apart from exercise, diet also plays an important role in this. So try to include green vegetables in the diet. Include fruits, dry fruits, pulses, curd and rice in your diet. Eat less sweets and fried food.
