Most mommies have enough to worry about with a newborn that they often forget about their own health. Then one day they look in the mirror and are startled to be looking at someone they don't even recognize. So, how can you start reclaiming your health and lose the tummy? Moms, here are the top ten ways to trim your tummy and get back on the track to health and fitness.

1. Eat: A lot of new Moms are always feeding their baby but never themselves. Remember to eat through the day - starving yourself or skipping meals will just slow down your metabolism. Little snacks aren't bad as long as they are healthy like some baby carrots, apple slices or even a handful of almonds.

2. Nap time: It can be hard to get a good nights rest with a newborn. The key is to take naps when your baby does because getting some extra shuteye will help those muscles rest and your body can take a break.

3. Walk it off: You might be anxious at first to get back on that treadmill to trim your tummy with some running. Have no fear because starting with walking will help you get back in the groove. Try and bring your baby for a power walk with you in a stroller or plan a family outing at the park.

4. Lift those Legs: Lose pregnancy weight fast while pumping iron. Legs and arms always need toning and with some free weights at home you can do that fast. A few reps and you'll have your muscles burning calories all day to help trim your tummy.

5. Have a Ball: There is no better way to trim your tummy than with crunches. But not just the regular crunches like the ones in a junior high school gym class. Get an exercise ball - they are great for getting those abs back because they work more muscles as you balance and there is so much you can do with them. Not to mention they are fun!

6. A Delicious Cup of No-No: You don't have to drop coffee altogether but it's a good idea to lose the fatty blended Frappacinos. Those drinks have hidden sugars and can have you consuming empty calories instead of getting a healthy meal.

7. Water the Liquid of Life: It's essential to drink just straight water in your day instead of juices and other liquids. It's important to flush the system and quench your thirst with the real deal. There are no calories in water and you can often drink up when you feel hungry because your body mistakes hunger at times for thirst.

8. Speed it up: Getting a few quick cardio sessions in throughout the day is better than those long runs that your body gets used to. Interval training with sprints, jogs and walking will keep your heart working and getting stronger. Trim your tummy by speeding up your Cardio routine.

9. Stretch it out: You don't have to go to a Pilates class seven days a week to get the benefits of stretching. Just some basic stretches in the a.m. or p.m. can help your muscles heal and get you on your way in losing the pregnancy weight faster.

10. Have fun: If you make exercising and losing the pregnancy weight a chore then you won't want to do it. Have fun with your cardio, eating and weights. Incorporate your family, involve friends and make it work within your schedule. If you do that you will burn the baby fat faster!

It can be hard to remember every little health tip out there for new mothers once they want to lose the baby fat. These ten tips are the foundation to any healthy routine and with them you will trim your tummy in no time!
