At 2 years postpartum, that stubborn belly could be due to Diastasis Recti, which is a separation of abdominal muscles. I highly recommend visiting a physiotherapist or doctor before starting any random gym routine. A targeted exercise plan is much safer and more effective.
I am currently planning my pregnancy and honestly, this postpartum belly recovery is something I worry about a lot too. Is it really hard to get back in shape after 2 years? I would love to know what realistic routines worked for you all.
Oh my god, I overthink my belly shape every single day in the mirror, it makes me feel so self-conscious! I am always worried if my pelvic floor is weak or if I am doing the wrong exercises. Please don't stress too much, try to consult a trainer who specializes in postpartum fitness to guide you safely.
Even after I stopped breastfeeding my toddler, my belly still looked slightly pregnant. It takes a lot of time for our stretched muscles to heal, so please be gentle with yourself. Focus on strengthening your core with safe exercises like planks instead of doing heavy crunches.
I know how frustrating it is when that belly fat just refuses to go even after 2 years. I couldn't focus on fitness early on because my health was ruined by bad morning sickness. Start with simple portion control and daily 30-minute brisk walks, it takes time but works.
