Debbie Frank: Absolutely, that is the biggest thing that I hear about. People come in and say, when, how do I get rid of this? Alli Joseph: Now, how many times a week realistically you should, somebody postpartum be doing this kind of exercise? Debbie Frank: I would guess three to four times a week, would be really fantastic, if you can fit that in. Ereka Vetrini: And then when we watch the results? Debbie Frank: Six weeks. Ereka Vetrini: Promise. Debbie Frank: Absolutely. Alli Joseph: When is it safe to begin after having a baby and should a woman consult her physician before doing so? Debbie Frank: Definitely great question. You should consult with your physician before starting any exercise program. Ereka Vetrini: Ten months later and how many months later? Alli Joseph: Nineteen. Ereka Vetrini: We are ready now? Debbie Frank: I guess. You are ready. Ereka Vetrini: Here we are. Alli Joshep: Let's go. Debbie Frank: Right into the forms, spread the fingers out and then as you crawl the toes under, I want you to lift the knees up, press your heels back. Okay, now really stay still in this position, holding a little bit tighter, so you feel how you're wrapping around and getting this is part -- Ereka Vetrini: Hold me up. Debbie Frank: Then moving on to the side part, rotate down to the outside of your right butt --. Alli Joseph: And where does my hand go? Debbie Frank: I think the top arm up. Now bring your hips up even higher. So you can even take the top leg up. Alli Joseph: Where does it go? Debbie Frank: Even more, straight up. Alli Joseph: Oh, in the air? Debbie Frank: And then down and let's do it in the other direction. Alli Joseph: All the way down? Debbie Frank: All the way down, just trying the other leg. Other leg, coming up. Ereka Vetrini: I like this little -- push your hands first that way. Debbie Frank: Now, change it up a little bit. I want you to just dip the hips down and then up. Ereka Vetrini: Debbie you are getting little crazy on there. Debbie Frank: Hold the hips up and stay there. There you go, girls, fabulous. Ereka Vetrini: We have been doing it for about 10 seconds and I really feel it. Debbie Frank: This is kind of little bit like going out dancing, that's right. This maybe as a new mom again. Arms out, abdomen in, start to lean back, abdomen in, no arch on the back, you want that straight line, shoulders to hip, I know it's intense and it's everything so it works the back here, hamstrings, glutes, abdominal all of it. Ereka Vetrini: Oh my God! Debbie you're so good. She goes all the way. Debbie Frank: All the way back. Alli Joseph: That won't work for mine, I wish it was. Debbie Frank: Unlock the elbows first, so soften the elbows, big wide circle. Pull in tight right there, thing about that lower part, chin is lifted, so it's parallel, shoulders are relaxed. Now breathing is important. Ereka Vetrini: That's hard to remember. Debbie Frank: Absolutely. Just pull in -- oh! See you get like instant results. Alli Joseph: I get a little shaky. This is where I can see my old lady fat, look at that. Debbie Frank: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, it's going in the other way. So this is your opportunity to reshape. So you pull in when you're contracting. I also call it posture in the abdomens. Right, in the main posture shoulders back and down. You just learn how to just lift up through the rib cage, keep going I am watching. You know what's shaking in the muscles means. Ereka Vetrini: No. Debbie Frank: Working the muscles to the maximum it's what that it tell you. And this is one of the greatest exercises in the world. Not so easy to get the muscle to tremble like that. Ereka Vetrini: I call it, a badge of honor. I feel good, do you feel good? Alli Joseph: I feel really good. Ereka Vetrini: You're going to do that? Alli Joseph: I am going to do it, but we are going to start with a really modest goal and I think I am going to do it like twice a day, is that reasonable. Ereka Vetrini: How long it can take?
