All your body systems get awakened and you spend more energy, more calories. Thus, you lose weight. Certain Pranayama exercises work directly upon abdominal areas such as Bhastrika and Kapalbhati Pranayama. Do them and lose belly fat even after pregnancy.

     Reverse curl with ball

Lie on your back with your arms by your sides. Rest your heels and calves about knee-width apart on the ball. Tense your abs and, holding the ball between your heels and thighs, raise it off the floor. Slowly, return to starting position.

    Bridges

Lie down face up on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor, a hip-width apart. Spread your hands on either side with your palms down. Tuck in your stomach muscles and slowly lift your buttocks off the floor, followed by your stomach and middle back. Keep your shoulders on the ground. Hold for ten seconds and gently lower your body back on the ground. Repeat this exercise around 4-6 times to strengthen your hips and tone the stomach.

     Traditional Squat

Perform as few as 10 reps or as many as 20-30 depending on your strength. With your spine in neutral position, toes pointing forward, legs hip-width distance apart and pelvic tilted (not butt out), exhale and lower down into a squat. Your butt should stay above knee level, your toes should remain pointed forward with the weight primarily in your heels so that you can raise your toes even, and your shoulders should stay down and relax with your chest lifted.
