Postpartum knowledge

After nine months of carrying around the extra weight due to pregnancy, you are probably ready to think about your own fitness, including how to shed those last few pounds that did not disappear when your baby was born.  On average, women gain about 30 pounds during pregnancy, 18 of which are usually lost within about a month of giving birth to your beautiful baby.  That's when it gets tough.  Those last 5 to 10 pounds can be hard to get rid of, but consistent, safe exercise can help you do just that and maintain your well being too.  Operation Shape Up will share more information in a later blog.
