Popular fitness expert Patrick Hong has introduced a 10-minute postpartum routine to burn belly fat without the need for crunches or gym equipment. This workout regimen consists of dead bugs, glute bridge marches, and high knees. These exercises are perfect for busy moms since they strengthen the deep core muscles, increase heart rate, and protect the spine.

Postpartum belly fat is a common problem for new mothers. Even with a regular exercise regimen and nutrition, that stubborn fat frequently refuses to leave your body. Recently, Patrick Hong, who has helped thousands transform their bodies, has revealed a 10-minute workout.

    Hong’s workout routine has caught everyone’s attention as it doesn’t need a gym or crunches. He has created a unique fitness regimen that just takes 10 minutes a day, making it an easier option for new moms. “Still trying to crunch away your mum’s pooch? Here’s one 10-minute workout that actually helps flatten your lower belly without the gym, without crunches, and without sacrificing your back. This one’s for the career mums, tired mums, busy mums—aka real women who don’t have time to waste," he revealed in a video shared on Instagram.

    Hong’s approach differs from conventional crunches in that it does not use the deeper abdominal muscles that aid in reducing the lower abdomen, which can cause back pain. These three exercises also protect your spine and work your core, according to Hong.

    Dead bugs

    Keep your lower back firmly pressed to the floor while you raise your arms and legs toward the ceiling while lying on your back. Keep your core tight to avoid arching your back as you slowly lower your left leg and right arm toward the floor simultaneously.

    High knees

    Take a tall stance and raise your knees one at a time. Try to keep the posture for 30 seconds while running in place. This intense workout raises your heart rate, burns calories, and works your lower abs to help you maintain a flat stomach. Hong suggests standing marches, which include slowly raising your knees without jumping a good alternative for mothers who are heavier. He said, “If you’re obese, just do standing marches on the spot."

      Glute bridge marches

      While maintaining your glutes and abs active, lie on your back with your knees bent, feet flat on the floor, and hips raised into a glute bridge position. Raise your right knee to your chest, hold it there for a moment, then bring it down and do the same with your left knee. Do ten reps on each side. “This helps tighten your core while protecting your lower back. Give that a go," he added.
