C Section Mom Reveals How She Lost 32 Kg In 11 Months With Easy Exercises And Breathing Techniques Weight Loss

Losing weight after pregnancy can be challenging, especially for mothers recovering from a C-section. However, content creator Deepti Harshana says consistency, simple workouts and breathing exercises helped her lose an impressive 32 kg in just 11 months.

Deepti recommends starting with simple standing exercises that require minimal equipment. “You don’t need anything. Just stand anywhere and pick up a water bottle or a dumbbell, whatever is available,” she said. She advises performing 15 repetitions on each side for three sets.

Using a 5-kg dumbbell, Deepti performs straightforward arm-strengthening movements. “This is a 5 kg dumbbell that I’ve been using since the beginning. Just hold the dumbbell, keep your arms straight and start,” she explained.

She recommends 15 repetitions on each side and three sets. “These exercises may look easy while watching, but when you actually start doing them, you’ll feel the effort and eventually see the results too.”

Squats are another staple in her routine. “You can do them without a dumbbell if you’re a beginner. Otherwise, hold a dumbbell and perform simple squats,” she said. Again, she suggests 15 repetitions and three sets.

The fitness enthusiast also includes standing kick exercises in her routine. “Just kick. You can kick or touch, whatever is comfortable. Every exercise should be done for 15 repetitions and three sets,” she explained.

Another easy movement involves raising the hands overhead and clapping repeatedly. “This exercise is very simple. Hands up, clap, clap, clap,” Deepti demonstrated.

For her final exercise, Deepti joins her hands overhead and extends one leg backward. “Take your leg as far back as possible and then bring it forward. Do 15 repetitions on each side and complete three sets,” she advised.

While sharing her progress, Deepti acknowledged that fitness is still a work in progress. “I’m still working on myself. It will happen. Just keep doing it,” she said.

Her message to fellow mothers is simple: start small, stay consistent and focus on gradual progress rather than quick fixes.

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.
