GOT ANY TIPS, GROUPS OR ACTIVITIES TO RECOMMEND?

Breastfeeding! My concern now is how to keep the weight off as she weans. I also did the traditional Jamu massage and wrap, and it helped! Grace

Wait until you get your clearance from your doctor and then go! I would highly recommend Tracy Anderson’s workout videos (I followed her videos both pre- and post-pregnancy). I also got into a HIIT workout with Shaun T of T-25, which is a 25-minute HIIT cardio workout. For ladies in Singapore, UFIT is one of my favourite gyms. It’s a great way to meet other mums and get a great workout. Nisha

Breastfeeding helps you drop it really quick; otherwise postnatal Pilates is great for building your core strength again. Melissa

I found this tricky, especially with my second. I spent a lot of time taking my baby for walks trying to kill two birds in one stone. Lucy

The old adage “nine months on and nine months off” is so true. Don’t put pressure on yourself to lose weight quickly. The body takes time to recover, and some things never return to the way they were. Nicola

After my first baby, I returned to running to shed the weight and I mostly pinged back to normal. After my second child, I piled on a lot of weight and struggled to shift it. I had to get a personal trainer to help me lose the weight. I used Zak from TGIF Studio (Thank Goodness I’m Fit) who was well experienced with post-pregnancy workouts. Dee

Breastfeeding definitely helps mummies to shed some weight. Light exercises like brisk walking and jogging help, too! Evelyn
