Sharing the clip, Dhara confessed that it is hard for mothers to make time for their health and stay consistent. “There’s so much misinformation out there, making us believe that losing the mommy pooch is impossible. After my C-section, I thought I’d have to starve myself or do extreme workouts to get results. But guess what? That’s not the answer. Slow, steady workouts and well-balanced, high-protein meals make all the difference,” she added.

5 exercises to lose belly fat

In the video, Dhara did 5 variations of the leg raises and core-engagement exercises and also shared certain tips that one should keep in mind while doing them.

1. Do 10 repetitions per exercise.
2. 2-3 sets for each exercise.
3. Slow and controlled movements.
4. Focus on proper breathing and core engagement rather than speed or intensity.
5. Inhale→ Exhale, pulling the belly button to the spine with each repetition.

The fitness influencer revealed that the ‘before’ version of her body she showed in the clip isn't the real starting point. Before she targeted her belly fat, she lost over 14 kg. During her weight loss journey, she was also diagnosed with Diastasis Recti (DR), but learning to heal her core changed everything. “But remember, workouts alone won’t do the magic; nutrition and a slight calorie deficit matter too! Let’s heal, get stronger, and feel our best,” she added in the end.
