Hollywood 101 on Losing the Baby Fat

By Teresa Brown

You can't flip a channel or a magazine page without seeing some celebrity mom in the latest designer dress looking skinnier then she did when she had her baby. How are they losing the baby fat so fast? Well many women forget that these skinny girls of the silver screen have the help of professional trainers, chefs and nutritionists. You don't need ten assistants to lose ten pounds because right here you can learn the tricks of the trade!

Professional Trainers:

One of the best parts about training with a professional is the fact that they 'mix it up'. Making sure your body doesn't get used to the grueling grind. They set up a routine that uses free weights, interval cardio and resistance training.

The Pros also integrate free weights and resistance training to tone those arms and legs. Also they bring in an exercise ball for the abs to trim your tummy. Weight lifting will help lose pregnancy weight fat faster since your body will be repairing the muscles using tons of energy and cellular resources to rebuild for up to 48 hours after your workout.

Resistance training allows you to use all kinds of tools to tone your body by practicing muscle contraction. For instance using rubber exercise tubing will allow you to increase your strength while decreasing your weight and help with losing the baby fat.

Less can be more when it comes to losing the baby fat with interval cardio. This is good news for moms who are pressed for time. Interval cardio essentially burns more calories in a shorter amount of time by changing the intensity at which you are performing your cardio exercise.

Personal Gourmet Chef:

You don't have to have hired help to keep up with well-planned meals. Eating gourmet won't help you losing the baby fat; instead you should be scheduling six small meals a day. Nothing full of fat filled sauces either, just some healthy lean meats or crunchy salads. Go for the good proteins and whole grains or even fruit smoothies.

Losing the baby fat will be easier when you've planned out your favorite dishes. To save time try and cook a big batch of hearty soup at the beginning of the week and heat bowls up when you need a hot lunch. Buy groceries for a week full of planned meals so you never have to run to the store.

No matter what your line of work is you don't have to be a movie star to lose your tummy. The key to their success and soon to be yours is planning your meals and sticking to your unwavering exercise habit. You don't have to have tons of coin to join in the easy model of weight loss. Be your own Star. Follow these tips and most importantly have fun!
