I am 5 months pregnant and my belly looks big, so people keep commenting. I don't want to reduce baby bump, but I am wondering if exercise controls extra fat. Did anyone do safe workouts while pregnant?
After delivery yes, slowly. I started gentle walks and some core exercises a few weeks postpartum and it helped my tummy over time. It doesnt vanish overnight though, be patient with your body.
Realistically the belly reduces over months not weeks. I fit in short walks and few stretches when i could. Start only after doctor says okay, especially if c section.
Post delivery, yes exercise helps a lot but combined with patience. Both times my belly took a few months to settle. Walking, breastfeeding and light core work did the job, no crash methods.
If you mean during pregnancy, you cant really reduce the bump, thats baby growing. After delivery and once your doctor clears you, postpartum exercises help tone the belly gradually. I waited for the go ahead before starting anything.
