To Sara of Fit by Sara: “I had a baby 2 mo. ago and want to get back into shape, but have trouble getting any time to myself to fit in a workout. What suggestions do you have to help me get back in shape?”
From Fit by Sara: “I’ve found the easiest way to get back into shape is to exercise with your baby! It’s worth investing in a decent stroller so you can go for walks with your baby in tow. Add a few hills to your walks and you’ll target your buttocks and thighs. You can also use your baby as a weight! For example here’s an easy exercise to tone your chest and shoulders:
*Lay on your back hold your baby with your arms straight over your chest.
*Slowly bend your elbows and lower your baby towards your chest
*Push your baby back up
*Repeat 8-10 times
