female abs forum questions after having a baby

[Rxuxu]

Ladies,
Before giving birth I had a nice six pack, I used to work out 5 days a week and my stomach was flat and hot. It's been 4 months since I had my baby. I got myself on a strict work out and diet program the last two months, and that thin layer of fat on my abs is still there and it hasn't changed a bit, what should I do guys? There is an extra ring of fat around my belly button that is not going away!

It will go away with time. Be patient. The fat stored in the abdominals and lower back is generally the 'stubborn body fat' area for men and women. It'll be the last place to get lean. You are going to get lean in your arms, back, and legs before your mid section. That's always how it is.

The key with ab training is that you want to train them with high repetitions. Heavy weight builds muscle which is the goal for most body parts but with abdominals, the goal is to tighten and tone the midsection rather then build the muscles. For abdominals, you want to train in the 10-30 rep range.

I post my daily workouts in this thread here: https://www.elitefitness.com/forum/anabolic-steroids/muskate-s-daily-workouts-log-1486295.html

You can use the ab workouts I have posted as a template for your own workouts. Men and women should train abs the same way.

Part of the problem that women have with loosing fat in their midsection is their naturally high estrogen levels. You could try using a good natural fat loss supplement like lipofit from n2bm.com. Lipofit has natural anti-estrogen ingredients to help liberate fat in stubborn estrogenic areas like the stomach and lower back.

i would hate to read this if i was that kid cause it sounds like you regret having a child.

If you are truly being strict with your diet and training as much as your body will allow right now then it will come. Just stay focused.

You need to give it more time, since 4 months are quite few to get fully recovered after giving a birth. Just keep working out and following a proper diet, and things will get back to normal.

Just give it time - I'm sure with what you're doing you'll get your old body back. Don't rush. It's only been four months. Anyway, congrats on the baby and props to you on losing all the baby weight!

Cardio, dieting and time will do the trick
