Reduce tummy after pregnancy

Dear Pratima,

Thanks for your reply.

You have written that it will be dangerous if Kapalbhati goes wrong.

WIll you please tell me how it affect us if we do it wrongly ? I am asking this because, i want to reduce my tummy. If it wont work out, i will try other yogas.

What kind of sit ups shall i do ? please explain.

hi there....

welcome aboard!!!!!! Same here...new elite...

Even i had a c section.My baby is 5 and a half months old now.I had a perfect body that was an eye for envy. But the perfect body became the unperfect one after delivery...You wouldnt believe it, i gained 30 kgs!!!!!! Thanks to my cravings for black current icecreams during my pregs!!!!!!!!!

I had to fight my c section as i was determined to get back to shape. I was regular at yoga and aerobics before delivery ..have to start it up again....yes, pranayama is excellent to reduce tummy though you have to have a lot of patience.... sweet things in life are not so easy to achieve,it takes a lot of hard work but once achieved is better appreciated....

I have started on with treadmill and surprisingly have already lost 10 kgs... long way to go...:icon_frown:

If there is a will there is a way.....i work on the treadmill facing an empty wall and picturing my old me.....and ofcourse some of the side comments i get about my weight....:mad:


But dont be bothered about comments..this is just a phase of life....things will go on well later...


all the best and keep excersising...

HI suja

pranayamam(kapalabhati) in yoga will help to a great extent to reduce ur tummy than others, i dont know indetail about the danger, my yoga sir used to say that dont do any pranayama in reverse way it is dangerous, it effects ur lungs.

situps -- normal sit and stand positions, do as many as u can do.
