"It seems that fitness will have to put a cross, -grieves one of the inhabitants of the popular female forum. “I don’t even want to think about training with burdening after childbirth.” The sisters support her in the situation: yes, not up to the training apparatus now. In addition, from aggressive fitness and milk can disappear ... And the sport is still needed.

Reason 1. Posture and gait
“I know women who, even after a long time,months after giving birth, they continued to walk like a duck by inertia. Working out in the gym will not correct your gait, but body ballet will at least help you realize this nuance and return to your previous, “pre-pregnancy” gait,” Ksenia is sure. The situation is similar with posture: during pregnancy and after the birth of a child, the back gets, perhaps, the most. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to correct posture, strengthen, develop and stretch the back muscles.
Reason 2. Tightened figure
"The use of ballet choreography infitness goals more than effectively. The workouts are designed and developed by professional ballerinas, but all the movements are maximally adapted,” explains our expert. But there is one advantage over regular fitness in the gym: the body becomes slimmer and more toned, but at the same time remains feminine and graceful. You don’t have to be afraid of aggressive muscle growth and the effect of an over-pumped figure. Regular exercise will make you flexible and toned, strengthen the muscles of the press, arms and back, get rid of flabbiness and even correct the shape of the legs.
Reason 3. Sports children.
Going to training with a baby, of course,complicated. On the other hand, the training lasts from 40 minutes to an hour, so you can try to find time. And you can take an older child with you. "Involvement in the world of choreography can provoke interest, and then love for dance in a child. I am convinced that ballet classes are necessary for all girls as a mandatory minimum of general development," says the choreographer. Well, with older daughters, you can do it together. Common interests are a wonderful thing.
Important points
— You can do body ballet at home, but it’s bettersupplement home workouts with training with a teacher - at least so that a specialist can teach you the movements. - Pregnant women who have never done ballet before should not start in an "interesting position". - After giving birth, you need to wait three months, and only then start training. - Classes are suitable for women of any age and any level of training.
