Here’s a simple postpartum exercise tip to tone your belly that you can do with your baby. I like to call it “Abs with a tickle”. Lay down on a mat or towel. Bend your knees and place your baby on your thighs so he’s seated facing you (I’ve found that when the baby is 5-8 mo. old, it works best). Now lift your upper body and tickle your baby’s belly. Repeat 15-20 times in the center. Next, while wiggling your fingers, reach your arms to one side. Your baby will follow your fingers with his eyes. Repeat 15-20 times then switch sides. Work up to 3 sets to the center and 3 sets to each side, alternating between side and center. You will like the results of firmer abs and your baby will enjoy the interaction! 🙂
