Fitness after Pregnancy - Easy Oblique Exercise by Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 Days

Are you struggling to get your pre-pregnancy body back?

It took me nine long months to have a baby, and nine LONG months to shed the baby weight. Getting a pre-pregnancy body back was no easy task. Maintaining it, especially finding time to work out, has been even harder.

No longer able to hit the gym every night, I needed alternative ways to sneak in exercise. Hence, Jillian Michaels' Ripped in 30 Days workout video. It provides four weeks of various exercises, meal plans, and fitness tips.

After baby, I struggled especially with the middle section. So I focus more on ab and oblique exercises. 

Below is an easy oblique exercise I learned from the video. You can do it in your living room, and it requires no weights.

Step 1

Turn your body sideways. 

Extend your arm and support your body. 

Make sure your body is held up straight.

Step 2

Keep supporting arm extended.

Dip your pelvis into the floor.

Stop. Hold for 2 - 3 seconds.

Step 3

Slowly lift your pelvis back to starting position.

Keep your supporting arm in position.

Make sure your body is straight again.

Repeat for 3 sets of 10 reps each.

Alternate sides.
