Raise your hand if you would like to improve your midsection?!?
Yeah, me too! Having 2 babies in 2 years did a NUMBER on my stomach and I have come to terms with certain parts of it (ahem, the skin…) never being quite the same. But that doesn’t mean I can’t have even STRONGER core muscles than I did before babies!
Admittedly this area is the one that is taking be the longest to “bounce back”, but staying consistent and being patient with the process is key!
Try a couple of my favorite core strengthening moves this week!
Move 1:
- Lay flat on your back and extend your legs straight in the air flexing your feet (shown in pic) lifting your head, neck, and shoulders off the ground
- Reach up to your opposite pinky toe rotating sides for 45 seconds
- Rest 15 seconds
- Repeat 3 times
Move 2:
- Lay flat on your back and place your hands under your tailbone for support
- Keeping your head, neck, and shoulders on the ground
- Point your toes and raise your legs up to 90 degrees and slowly lower to 2-3 inches off the ground
- Repeat up and down (slowly! No momentum!) for 45 seconds
- Rest 15 seconds
- Repeat 3 times
