Online creator Dhara, a mother of two, frequently shares insights regarding her weight loss journey, including her workout routines and dietary choices. In a recent post on Instagram, she emphasized that she did not resort to extreme dieting or rigorous exercise regimens to lose weight and reduce belly fat following her delivery.

Instead, she adopted a methodical approach, incorporating gradual workouts and a diet rich in balanced, high-protein meals. Dhara encouraged her followers to engage in the exercises she showcased in her video if they wish to achieve similar results in reducing belly size.

Exercises to burn belly fat

In addition to sharing before and after images of her transformation, Dhara demonstrated a workout specifically designed to target belly fat, which included the following exercises:

⦿ Single Knee to Chest Stretch

Instructions: Lie on your back, draw one knee towards your chest, and hold for a few seconds before switching to the other leg.

⦿ Legs Only Dead Bug

Instructions: Lie on your back with arms extended overhead, lift your legs off the ground, and lower them back down without allowing them to touch the floor. Repeat this motion.

⦿ Single Straight Leg Raise

Instructions: Lie on your back with arms extended overhead, raise one leg straight up towards the ceiling, and lower it back down without letting it touch the floor. Alternate legs.

⦿ Quadruped Arm and Leg Raise

Instructions: Begin on your hands and knees, lift one arm and the opposite leg off the ground, holding for a few seconds before switching sides.

Additional instructions and tips

⦿ Perform 10 repetitions for each exercise

⦿ Complete 2-3 sets

⦿ Maintain slow and controlled movements

⦿ Prioritize proper breathing and core engagement over speed or intensity

⦿ Consistency is key to achieving visible results

Slow, steady workouts

In her post, Dhara expressed, “Mothers, I understand the challenges of carving out time for self-care, not to mention the difficulty of maintaining consistency to achieve tangible results. Moreover, there is a plethora of misleading information that leads us to believe that eliminating the postpartum belly is unattainable. Following my C-section, I was under the impression that I needed to either deprive myself of food or engage in intense workouts to see any progress. However, that is not the solution. Engaging in gradual, consistent workouts combined with well-balanced, high-protein meals can significantly impact your journey.”

'5-6 times a week for a month and you’ll see results'

She continued, “The initial state shown in this video does not represent my true starting point, as I had already shed over 30 pounds (14+ kg) by that time! Six months ago, I recommitted to my fitness journey because I desired to enhance my well-being further. Four months ago, I discovered I had Diastasis Recti (DR), which necessitated a complete overhaul of my routine. Understanding how to rehabilitate my core transformed my approach! If your goal is to reduce your waistline, consider incorporating these exercises. These beginner-friendly movements are safe for postpartum recovery, including for those who have undergone C-sections. Consistency is key—aim for 5-6 sessions per week for a month, and you will observe results! However, keep in mind that exercise alone is insufficient; proper nutrition and a moderate calorie deficit are also crucial. Let us focus on healing, building strength, and achieving our best selves.”
