So long tummy pooch!

Easily the most complained about area of a mom's body is her belly pooch. It's a hard area to completely get rid of because remember, it's not just belly fat- that's extra skin. The only way to get rid of extra skin is to have a tummy tuck (this is what celebrities do- not recommended). I recommend following these exercises at home, combined with cutting out the junk food (i.e. fast food, sugar) from your diet to get your bod swim suit ready for summer!

Exercise #1: Marches- begin with legs at table top, tap one toe to the floor and raise back up, alternate right and left for 20 repetitions.









Exercise #2: Bicycle Crunches, lift and rotate your body bringing your shoulder toward your hip. 3 sets of 8 reps








Exercise #3: Plank- try to hold this for 30 seconds straight!
Work up to 1 minute.








Exercise #4: All 4's arm and leg extensions. This will build core strength and help your posture, which in turn makes you look slimmer and more confident! Alternate opposite leg/ arms and bring back to all 4's for 20 reps.





Keep up the good work friend! Do these exercises at least three times per week for best results:)
