While in LA last month, I had the amazing opportunity to film a mommy and me workout video with one of my all time favorite YouTubers, Elle from WhatsUpELLE. This is a postpartum/postnatal strength based mom and baby workout. Try these exercises for getting back in shape after baby at home.
If you do not have a baby, you can still do this at home workout with any equipment. It focuses on the core, back and kegel muscles mostly. To run through this workout, it will take you about 15-20 minutes.
The Workout
- 20 seconds Hover Jacks (x2 resting for 10 seconds in between)
- 20 Leg Circles (10 counter clock wise, 10 clock wise both legs)
- 30 second Side Plank (on both sides)
- 8 Plank to Push ups – aka kiss the baby push ups
- 15 Supermans
- 20 Hip Lifts
Watch the video to see how adorable little Presley is!
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT
TONE IT UP GIVEAWAY STARTS TODAY!
Today marks day 1 for entries to win a Tone It Up lifetime membership. This is a gift FROM me. The girls do not give out free plans ever! In return, I ask that you help share my page/YT channel. The contest to enter will end December 22nd at noon EST.
To enter, you MUST DO BOTH steps carefully down below.
- “Like” my page on Facebook – http://Facebook.com/SarahFitFan
- Add a comment to my Facebook page mentioning your favorite blog or video from either SarahsFabChannel on YouTube or SarahFit.com the blog. To do this you must first be a fan, which is why #1 exists and type ” @Sarah Dussault ” for it to show up on my page. If you do not do step #2, it will be too difficult to track who has and has not entered. If it was just liking, then it would be fair to the readers who already are.
i.e: Going to the gym tonight and trying out @Sarah Dussault favorite ab routine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr4uHhRdIGo
i.e: Obsessed with the Protein Pancake recipe I saw from @Sarah Dussault https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jJxLAB40k4
Get it? Remember, you must do both steps #1 and #2, just liking my page does not enter you into this giveaway! If the status update does not hyperlink, I will not know you posted it either! So make sure it is. It’s simple and it’s easy. I’ll be compiling the list of entries from the Facebook posts that show up on my wall. In order they will be given a number and like always, I’ll be using Random.Org to select who win.
Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel as always. If you have any questions about entering, leave one down below. If you love Elle as much as I do, let me know down below. Share the video with a new mommy friend 🙂
nice workout from the moms! 🙂

i liked your fan pg!
I “liked” you on FB!
P.S. Such a cute idea! I don’t have a baby and won’t for a while, but I’ll def keep these tips in mind 😀
I hope I do not either! Did you do both steps 1 and 2? It’s going to be too hard for me if you just like because then people who already did will not be able to enter -- read the entry rules one more time to make sure you enter 😉
Done!!!!!! 😀
did you do both steps?
Done, done and done! 🙂 Some love back in Manila, Sarah! I’ve yet to try TIU!

i LOVE this giveaway! i read on your blog about the college version of TIU and as a freshman in college, it would be the best present to win it! i mean being in college and being broke and all…
My FAVORITE Sarah Fit YouTube workout is the Burn 500 Calories outdoor circuit training video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9V3e6RNwlU&list=UUjtBb0_nFqXdA762lferNaQ&index=37&feature=plcp
I’ve done it a TON of times. It’s THE BEST! I wrote down all the circuits on a post it note and then stuck it in the pocket of my running pants so I didn’t forget anything, haha. I’m going to put this on your FB too in order to be eligible to win the (AMAZING! AWESOME!) prize, but I wanted to put it here too. That workout kicks my butt, and though I try pretty much all your workouts, it’s become a go-to for outdoor workouts. Thanks Sarah!!
Good afternoon! Great workout ideas! 🙂 This is very nice when you are at home with your baby and not able to go to the gym! 🙂 I love your website and fan page! I love wating your videos and the workouts!!!!!!!! 🙂
So nice of you to think about all the new mommas out there!
I want this so bad!!!
Sarah,
I really love the protein pancake recipe on your youtube. I don’t have a facebook, but would really like to thank you for the opportunity to win prizes. Thank you for all you do, please keep it up. 2012 is my year to get healthy so I can quit making weightloss New Year’s resolutions. Actually I started the beginning of December, so it really isn’t a resolution, but you get the point.. Thanks again
that was a little bit nauseating….!!! but great idea!
Just entered! 🙂 did my entry count?
Definitely liked your FB page!! Thank you!
Hi Sarah,
I check your blog almost everyday and I am a huge fan but I don’t have Facebook! I’m a writer so I’m always working on my computer and it was a huge distraction for me so I got rid of it 3 years ago. Though I’d love to enter to win the TIU plan! What’s a Facebook-free girl to do?!
Hi Sarah !! 🙂
Love your blog, love the message you’re sending out regarding the importance of a healthy lifestyle. I’m also a big TIU fan as well as Tosca Reno, so I was really finding your post about the combining of stripped and TIU plan very interesting! I found and liked your FB page, and in regards to entering the contest, I’ve posted on your wall, your name hyperlinked, and also included the link to one of my favorite blogs of yours. My question is, was I stupposed to post to your wall, or make this my status tagging you in the post? I can do both to be sure, but just wondering!! keep being wonderful and inspirational and happy holidays!! xoxo -- Nicole.
Were we supposed to give you the link to the post we included you in for the giveaway? Not sure…but to be sure, I’ll do it anyway, to make sure that I’m in.

Great work Sarah, thanks for all the ab videos!
Thank you so much for this giveaway chance! I want to join TIU, but, as a broke college student, I can’t afford to, so GREAT giveaway idea:)
As always, keep up the good work with workouts and recipes:)
