  1. Six Pack Training and Pregnancy Presented By Kathy C Contributor at Six Pack Abs V

  2. Presented By Kathy CContributor at Six Pack Abs V • There will be certain aspects of six pack training that you will not be able to continue as your body grows bigger-both for your health and the health of your baby. • One of the questions I see all of the time is if women need to quit their six pack training when they are pregnant.  The short answer to this is both yes and no. 

  3. You will have to increase your calorie intake and eat from a diet that contains more carbs than usual. • This is normal and necessary at this stage-follow your healthcare provider’s instructions on diet and relax about weight gain for awhile.

  4. Presented By Kathy CContributor at Six Pack Abs V • Six Pack Training First Moves • However, you are able to do some six pack training as long as you remember a few critical points

  5. Presented By Kathy CContributor at Six Pack Abs V • The good news is, those women who exercise regularly prior to becoming pregnant, and who continue to exercise during pregnancy, are able to regain their pre-pregnancy shapes faster than those who don’t. • Adjust exercises as needed-if it becomes too much of a strain, eliminate extra weights/extra intensity moves/do fewer reps. • Add any moves your health care provider suggests-your abdominal area is under a different type of stress and you might need more specialized pelvic floor exercises during pregnancy • Eliminate those six pack training moves your healthcare provider says no to.

  6. Presented By Kathy CContributor at Six Pack Abs V • .  If you’ve been doing even a small amount of six pack training during pregnancy, you might be able to being low intensity six pack exercises within days. These might include leg stretches, and Kegel exercises.  • Six Pack Training Pelvic Tilts (Beginner's Ed.) • After you've had your baby, it might take as long as eight weeks before you can resume full on six pack training again.

  7. Presented By Kathy CContributor at Six Pack Abs V • As you get stronger and your healthcare practioner advises, you can up the intensity into full six pack training pelvic tilts with your feet on floor and your core fully engaged. • Slightly more challenging six pack exercises include Pelvic Tilts.  Do these with your legs up on a chair and simply pull your hips toward your ribs.  Try not to engage your glutes when you do this. Do about 10.

  8. Presented By Kathy CContributor at Six Pack Abs V • Slowly extend one leg out as far as you can; tighten your core as you do so.  Slowly return to start and do the other leg. • Six Pack Training Pelvic Scoots • These are the less intense version of six pack training flutter kicks.  Lie on the floor with your knees up, your hands on the floor next to you.

  9. Presented By Kathy CContributor at Six Pack Abs V • Raise them up above your head, either one at a time opposite of the leg you’re lifting, or together. You will be able to do full out six pack training flutter kicks within a couple of months. • Eventually, for six pack training purposes, you will want to up the intensity some  and you can do this by adding in your arms.

  10. Presented By Kathy CContributor at Six Pack Abs V • These moves are not meant to be full out six pack training, simply a way to start to get ready for real six pack training when your healthcare provider says you are ready. • An important thing to remember with these early post pregnancy six pack training moves is that if you feel pain, stop what you are doing.

  11. Presented By Kathy CContributor at Six Pack Abs V • While pregnant, you’ve been carrying weight at the front of your body and this causes many women to either lean back to maintain balance or to kind of slump with their shoulders down and their hips forward. • One of the last and probably the simplest six pack training move you can do is retrain your posture. 

  12. Presented By Kathy CContributor at Six Pack Abs V • you completely upright-shoulders straight and relaxed, weight distributed evenly on both feet and your core pulled in.  Just standing like this will make you feel better and make you look like you’ve lost some weight. • Straightening your posture will take retraining just as much as your six pack training will-simply pretend that you have a string attached to the top of your head and let this imaginary string pull

  13. Presented By Kathy CContributor at Six Pack Abs V • I really appreciate you reading this far. Why don’t you leave a comment here at Six Pack Training And Pregnancy and tell me what you thought about this. It will only take two seconds! • Plus the simple move of keeping your core muscles engaged is part of a good six pack training .
