Being a mommy is not easy. After 9 months of carrying the baby around in your womb, getting tons of problems like constipation, haemorrhoids, labour pains and not to mention the weight gain, you still are going to have a lot of troubles ahead. Apart from round the clock work of taking care of your little one, feeding, going to the office and doing household chores too, how much time do you have for yourself? Have you ever thought of putting some time aside for your daily fitness regimen? It is very important that you start working out to shed all your baby weight, but how are you going to do it? Going to the gym may seem like a fantasyland to you! You can make use of the tips mentioned here to exercise while doing any other work.
 

• Walk to your office : if your office is located nearby, start taking a brisk walk to the place instead of driving. If not possible, you can always walk for a few minutes before hiring a cab or park your car away from office to walk the remaining distance.
   
• Utilize remaining lunch time : instead of straight away binging on the food and having gossip sessions later on, try climbing the stairs up and down for a few times and relax for 5 minutes before grabbing your lunch.
   
• Do not just dress up : every morning, while you are dressing up, drying your hair, do not just stand there. Instead, squat imagining a chair beneath you. Repeat the routine everyday for at least 15 times regularly. It targets your thighs and butts, making them more toned.
   
• Pull in your belly : this can be done anytime and anywhere. Just push in your belly for a few minutes, which will re-train the muscles to be taut instead of hanging out loosely.
   
• Conference call time : this can be the time when you can have a minute of straight leg kicks, one minute of marching up and down and also a minute of sitting against the wall on an imaginary chair.
   
• Push-ups : instead of staring at the microwave timer until it beeps, do push up for a minute or two. Stretch out you arms and place them on the counter top. Do a number of push ups. It is considered a great way to tone your arms and chest.
   
• You can exercise while interacting with your baby : lay your baby on his/her back and face the baby by placing your palm on the ground. Pull yourself up from the ground using your hands and toes only.
   
• Dance with your little one : put on some music and do some weird moves. Enjoy some quality time with your children and husband while burning calories too.
   
• Talk while you walk : whether at office or at home, never waste the opportunity to burn calories by walking while you are on the phone. It is a tried and tested way to shed calories without even feeling like you are exercising.
   
• Brush and exercise : hold yourself in arabesque position for about 5 seconds with each leg while brushing your teeth every morning. Repeat the process 5 times every day and it will do wonders to your butt.
   
• Jumping jacks : here is another effective way to tone your body. You can start jumping up and down whenever you feel like it, while waiting for the rice to cook or while watching the news.
   
• Work your back : because of carrying the baby around for most of the day, your back may feel strained. To correct such posture problems, kneel on your fours and curl your toes. After this, inhale and slightly arch your back to lift your chest. Repeat a number of times.
   
• Push things around : doing some things on your own, like rearranging the furniture, or vacuuming desolate parts of your place may actually stretch the abs and flatten them.
   
• Bird-dog pose : kneel on all fours, engage your abs, extend one leg behind you with the opposite arm stretched forward. Repeat with the other pair of limbs. It will tone your abs and make you feel and look great.
   
• Play with your children : games like catch me if you can, hide and seek and tag can be great way to sweat out the fat.
• Squeeze in and release your glutes while at office or at home. The butt squeeze will tone muscles in that area.
• Stretch your arms and inhale and exhale forcefully in the morning. Arch you back backwards and stand tall all the time.
• Take frequent breaks while doing work to walk around for some time.
• Deep breathing enhances oxygen supply in the body and burns off the fat.
• Exercises like swimming, cycling and playing tennis can be fun as well as hugely beneficial for your body.
