In a recent video, she presented six exercises that contributed to reducing her 'mommy pouch' and strengthening her core. The video showcased her transformation, revealing that she eliminated excess belly fat and achieved a toned physique within 15 months. She encouraged her audience, stating, “Mothers, these exercises will enhance your core! You can perform them at home with minimal equipment!” in her post's caption.

1. Glute bridge dumbbell to leg raise

The fitness trainer recommends performing this exercise in 3 sets of 15 repetitions. To execute the movement, begin in the glute bridge position—lying flat on your back with your legs bent at a 90-degree angle and feet on the ground. Lift your hips while engaging your core. To add a challenge, incorporate dumbbells and perform leg raises while maintaining the glute bridge position.

2. Marching glute bridge

Andreea advises the same structure of 3 sets with 15 repetitions for this exercise. Begin in the glute bridge position, and instead of raising your legs, alternate bringing your knees back to your chest, mimicking a marching motion.

3. Single leg extensions

For this exercise, complete 3 sets of 15 repetitions. Lie on your back, hold dumbbells in your hands, and elevate your legs to form an inverted L position. While keeping your right leg stationary, extend your left leg forward while simultaneously pushing your arms above your head.

4. Knee lean back with dumbbell

Perform three sets of fifteen repetitions for this exercise. Begin by kneeling on the floor with your knees positioned approximately hip-width apart. Ensure your feet are flexed and your back remains straight. While engaging your glutes and tightening your abdominal muscles, lean back and then return to the starting position while executing dumbbell raises.

5. Bear plank with back row

Execute this exercise for fifteen repetitions across three sets. Start in a low plank position, ensuring your elbows are directly beneath your shoulders, and lift your knees off the ground while maintaining level hips. In this stance, perform back rows using dumbbells.

6. Dumbbell bird dog

Complete this exercise for fifteen repetitions in three sets. Position yourself on all fours, maintaining a neutral spine, and then alternately lift your opposite arm and leg simultaneously, ensuring they are parallel to the ground.
