Losing the baby weight can be, for most moms, daunting and downright boring.

But who says you can’t get creative about it? If you’re looking to liven up your daily exercise routine, take your cue from this Australian mom of two.

There’s a catch, though: You need to have given birth to twins.

Anna Strode, 31, has committed to doing 20-minute workouts each day with her favorite dumbbells: her 8-month-old twin boys.

But, she admits getting back her energy was a struggle.

She recounts to the Daily Mail how her doctor had warned her that she was at risk for postpartum depression. So, to fight it, she made sure exercise became a priority in her life: “My 20-minute workouts each day are my ‘me’ time,” she shared. “Fitness has made me such a happy, healthy, and energized mom.”

And she has also influenced her husband to join her on her journey to live a healthier lifestyle while having fun!

Prior to being a mom of twins, Anna was working as a marketing manager but her newfound love for fitness has led her to a new passion: personal training.
