 Regular abdominal exercises such as sit-ups and crossover sit-ups, which target the sides of your abdomen, should not be done until a few weeks after delivery. Any weight loss desired should be gradual and exercise should only be done if it makes you feel better, not worse. This week we focus on Top 10 Post - Natal Abdominal Exercise.

 Doing too many exercises in which your elbows are pulled behind your body can overstretch the connective tissue in the front of the joints. Don't allow your elbows to extend more than two inches behind your body.

You might as well
 As long as you're going to do it, you might as well do it right. As long as you're going to show up for work, you might as well do your best on the
job. As long as you're going to use that software, you might as well take a couple of hours to learn all the features. As long as you're going to take
the trouble to raise a family, you might as well make it a happy, well-adjusted one. As long as you're going to have a life, you might as
well live a life of excellence.
It doesn't take that much more effort to do something as well as you possibly can. And as long as you're going to do it anyway, doesn't it make
sense to give it your all? Yet, far too many people try to get by with as little as possible. And because of that, if you do just a little bit more
than the minimum, you will rise above the crowd. If you show just the least bit of extra initiative, you'll be more successful than 95% of the people
in this world.
And if you throw yourself wholeheartedly into everything you do, with a total commitment to excellence, there are no limits to what you can
accomplish.
It's not a matter of time. We all have the same amount
of time. It is a matter of attitude. What do you expect
of yourself?
