We at Two Fit Moms know that strengthening the core is a struggle for many — especially moms, who often lack the time to practice and re-build muscle. Here are four yoga-inspired, belly-toning exercises that you can do in the comfort of your own home, on your own time. Begin with one exercise at a time, and eventually add all four to your practice.

Dolphin Plank Pose with Movement

Start off in Plank Pose and slowly lower down onto your forearms. Forearms are parallel to each other and elbows are in line with your shoulders. Slowly roll onto the outside edge of your right foot, stack the left foot on top of the right, and extend the left arm high (think Side Plank). Pull the belly in, lift the hips, and lengthen the tailbone down toward the heels. Add a twist on your exhalations to strengthen the obliques and back muscles by bringing the left hand underneath the right side body. Inhale back up and repeat four more times. Return to Dolphin Plankand repeat on the other side.
