Fit Yummy Mummy Blog – Post Pregnancy Weight Loss – Flat Tummy Workout

As a Super Busy Mom my favorite types of workouts are ones that are Quick and Convenient!

Body weight exercises for fat loss are the foundation of many of my workouts.

No fancy equipment needed.

All moves can be done right at home.

I love full body moves that challenge all the large muscles for a supercharged metabolism and a lean, toned body.

Below you will find 7 body weight moves for fast workouts.

Use these moves…

~ if you are just getting started with your fat loss goals
~ when time is short and you want to stay on track
~ to add variety to your current workout

Do not be fooled!

These moves are quite challenging when you use them in your workouts with intensity. Using good form and keeping the rests between moves short keeps your heart rate up and makes your muscles work even harder!

I will typically choose 4 to 6 of the moves below, perform 10 – 15 repetitions of each and repeat 2-4 times for a complete 10 minute circuit.

I have chosen 6 resistance training moves and an option for body weight intervals. When you combine the resistance with the right amount of cardio – “intervals” and you refine what you are eating…Fat Loss Results can be achieved twice as fast!

Have fun and let me know what you think!



With jump rope intervals I may or may not choose to use a rope. If I am not particularly coordinated leaving the rope out prevents me from tripping and decreasing the intensity of my workout.

My interval routine may look something like this:

Jump rope for 30-60 sec Rest by marching in place for 30 sec Repeat 4 to 6 times

We have too much fat because we took in more calories than our body could use or burn. So the process of fat loss is simply a game of numbers.

STOP Breaking these TOP 5 Nutrition Rules

~I drive my son Tyler to school each morning and for the past couple weeks have noticed a LOT of women out walking the neighborhood. My first thought is – Good for Them! Getting out and getting active is the first step to a sound fitness plan. Then I begin to wonder if they are supplementing this form of exercise with other habits that will help promote fat loss. While walking does have a long list of benefits, it is only one small piece of the fat loss puzzle.
