Postpartum Weight Loss- Exercise to Tone the Chest and Shoulders

To Sara of Fit by Sara: “I’ve lost the baby weight but feel so weak and flabby on my upper body.  What exercise do you recommend to tone my chest and shoulders?”

From Fit by Sara: “Congrats on losing the baby weight. One of the best exercises you can do to tone the chest and shoulders is the old school push-up. You can modify the push up by doing it on your knees. Just be sure your bottom is down so your body makes a  diagonal line from your shoulders down to your knees. Work up to 2-3 sets of 10-15 reps. As you get stronger add pulses. Eventually come off your knees and come onto the balls of your feet for a full push up.”- Sara Holliday MFT, CPT
