Sharing her fitness journey in a June 24 Instagram video, Deepti said, \u201cI am a C-section mom and I have lost 32 kgs in 11 months with these amazing workouts, along with breathing exercises, which are very important to heal your mommy pooch.\u201d (Also read: <\/strong>\u2018It took me 5 years to learn\u2019: Fitness coach shares workout mistakes she finally stopped making and saw better results )<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

According to her, getting started was the hardest part. \u201cInitially, I didn\u2019t know where or how to start. I simply opened YouTube, searched for safe workouts and got started,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n

Workout 1: Beginner-friendly arm exercises<\/p>\n

Deepti recommends starting with simple standing exercises that require minimal equipment. \u201cYou don\u2019t need anything. Just stand anywhere and pick up a water bottle or a dumbbell<\/a>, whatever is available,\u201d she said. She advises performing 15 repetitions on each side for three sets.<\/p>\n

Workout 2: Dumbbell arm raises<\/p>\n

Using a 5-kg dumbbell, Deepti performs straightforward arm-strengthening movements. \u201cThis is a 5 kg dumbbell that I\u2019ve been using since the beginning. Just hold the dumbbell, keep your arms straight and start,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

She recommends 15 repetitions on each side and three sets. \u201cThese exercises <\/a>may look easy while watching, but when you actually start doing them, you\u2019ll feel the effort and eventually see the results too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Workout 3: Squats<\/p>\n

Squats are another staple in her routine. \u201cYou can do them without a dumbbell if you\u2019re a beginner. Otherwise, hold a dumbbell and perform simple squats,\u201d she said. Again, she suggests 15 repetitions and three sets.<\/p>\n

Workout 4: Standing kicks<\/p>\n

The fitness enthusiast also includes standing kick exercises in her routine. \u201cJust kick. You can kick or touch, whatever is comfortable. Every exercise should be done for 15 repetitions and three sets,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

Workout 5: Overhead arm claps<\/p>\n

Another easy movement <\/a>involves raising the hands overhead and clapping repeatedly. \u201cThis exercise is very simple. Hands up, clap, clap, clap,\u201d Deepti demonstrated.<\/p>\n

Workout 6: Back leg extensions<\/p>\n

For her final exercise, Deepti joins her hands overhead and extends one leg backward. \u201cTake your leg as far back as possible and then bring it forward. Do 15 repetitions on each side and complete three sets,\u201d she advised.<\/p>\n

While sharing her progress, Deepti acknowledged that fitness is still a work in progress. \u201cI\u2019m still working on myself. It will happen. Just keep doing it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Her message to fellow mothers is simple: start small, stay consistent and focus on gradual progress rather than quick fixes.<\/p>\n

Note: Postpartum exercise routines should be started only after consulting a healthcare professional, especially following a C-section, as recovery timelines vary from person to person.<\/p>\n
