Pregnancy is the best gift that God bless women with. But with this comes something that they really hate. And it is nothing but the additional post-pregnancy weight. With a child’s responsibility 24x7, it becomes difficult for newbie mothers to take care of themselves. ‘Why aren’t my older clothes fitting me now?’, ‘Why am I not in shape?’ are some questions that women tend to ask themselves after giving birth to their child.

But you must know the right and natural way to lose it. It is important to stay healthy and lose your postpartum weight. And Bollywood has changed the way how we used to look at pregnancy. While earlier mothers used to stay at home during their pregnancy journey, now they love to flaunt their baby bump and not shy away from making public appearances even with their post-pregnancy weight.
One such celeb mother, who is working out rigorously to shed off her extra flab, is Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai fame Karan Mehra’s darling wife Nisha Rawal. Karan and Nisha became proud parents to a baby boy on June 14, 2017, and they named him Kavish Mehra.

Because her fans were curious to know more about her workout and diet regimes, she decided to give details of her weight loss journey on social media. Here are some pictures and videos of Nisha’s workout routine:
And she captioned her video:
“For all of you who would like to know what I am doing for my workouts. I am taking it one day at a time trying to be slow but steady. As of now I workout 5 days a week which includes 3 days of weight training under the guidance of my trainer & 2 days of cardio with 2 break days for my body to recover since I have started after more than a year. During my entire journey of pregnancy I gained around 22kgs so I started at 60kgs and went on to 82kgs & at the start of my goal I am already 9kgs less since u do lose the baby weight (which includes the baby, placenta, amniotic fluid, water retention etc.) & then breastfeeding makes u lose a few extra kgs since breastmilk contains a considerable amount of fat along with other vital nutrients for the baby. This is going to be a tough journey since my goal is to get fit & build endurance & thus become a better version of my pre-birth body. I don’t regret the weight gain & don’t look down on it at all. It reminds me of how my body kept changing & the growing baby during the 9-month-phase. I am no expert for you all to follow my fitness routine since every body is different & has different potentials & goals but since so many of you have written to me I wish to encourage all those who wish to get motivated by my journey. My aim is to convey that hard work & determination can transform everything around you."
"Today was day 3 of weight training and I did the following exercises: Lunges/ seated rowing, Leg curl/ peck deck, Squats, Bridge, Burpees, Shoulder press, Leg raises, Crunches. Chin up all the new mommies, if weight gain is what disturbs you then I have just posted my weight gain pix from today’s workout. Just take a deep breath, dust our shoes off, tie that pony high & lets work on this together”
