A great postpartum weight loss exercise is what I like to call the “sideways hurdle”. This move is a short power move to be used as an interval between power walking or light jogging. The “sideways hurdle” will get your heart rate up so you burn a bunch of calories in a short period of time, plus it tones the thighs. To do the move pretend that your jumping over a barrel sideways. Pump your arms as you jump one leg at time up and over the pretend barrel. As you jump bring your knees up as high as you can. Repeat for approximately one minute then resume powerwalking or light jogging. Repeat the “sideways hurdle” interval between every 5-10 minutes of powerwalking or light jogging.
