A mum has revealed the exercises that helped her get rid of her ‘mommy doggie’ and tone her abs in just 10 months.
The gym girl took to TikTok to share her workout routine with her viewers, making a disclaimer in the caption that it’s an advanced abs exercise.
Phoenix Alazam showed her postpartum belly in the video then a transformation photo of his toned abs.
To get those abs, Alazam said to do four sets of mountain climbers for 20 seconds each.
For this exercise, start in a plank position, then alternate bringing one knee in toward your chest, then back in a quick, repeated motion.
The next move Alazam showed was an overhead dumbbell hold and a leg lift.
She said to do four sets of 20 reps for this exercise.
Lie on the floor holding a barbell or something lighter above your head.
Next, bring your two straightened legs together until they reach a 90 degree angle.
In a similar motion, you will take the barbell you are holding and bring it to meet your legs which will also be lifted, forming a V shape with your body.

Finally, bring your left leg down, shift your body to the right, and bend your left leg so your knee faces your left arm.
Alazam finished her workout with V-Sits, which is when you lie on your back with your legs at a 45-degree angle and your hands and shoulders on the floor.

Alazam said she got her abs by “eating clean and working out five/six days a week.”
