No excuses! Michelle Bridges shows off her at-home abs workout… before having a pillow fight with son Axel

Michelle Bridges has been keeping up her exercise regimen while isolating with four-year-old son Axel.

And on Saturday, the 49-year-old proved that there’s no excuses when it comes to working out.

In a series of clips shared to Instagram, the former Biggest Loser trainer completed an at-home abs workout, before having a pillow fight with Axel.

Revealing her famously toned figure in a tank top and leggings, Michelle prepared to break a sweat on the floor of her living room. 

She swept her brunette locks into a topknot, and opted for minimal makeup.

Michelle began with sit-ups, elevating her legs and resting a pillow on her shins.
