After baby exercising

[Daysgoby]

What kind of exercising do you plan to do after baby comes? What have you done that has worked in the past?

I have a big ball with an exercise video and resitance bands. I also have a regular exercise video.

I hope to be back in shape by the holidays. I will probably start working out within a week or two of giving birth as long as I dont have a c/s.

Ditto!

I'll start easy with the Carmen Electra dvd's...then probably back to running on the treadmill a few miles in the morning and a few miles at night...lots of cardio and I'll pick back up my "one cup" diet

what is the one cup diet? After I had my girls I lost 70lbs by just BF and walking but I gained 90lb!! and now that Im pregnant again I have lost 10 more pounds since because Im on the "no white diet", but I still have my "twin skin" and my doctor said that wont go away until I have my muscles re-built because they got separated when I was pregnant last year(very common in Multiple pregnancies). Im hoping to have it done a year after this baby is born.

Seperated muscles? Ouch! I would know if that were happening to me, right? I've been worried about it but I can still flex my stomach, it just looks funny

The one cup diet is just what it sounds-I literally keep a plastic measuring cup on the counter(dry measure)and all my meals have to fit in the cup. I never eat more than one cup at a time, though I do eat more often. It works with my metabolism.

That's how I lost the weight last time, and how I keep weight down for work. That and tons of water, cardio, etc.

We got Wii Fit. I also plan on hitting DDR up again as well as getting back into yoga and taking baby out for walks. Of course, I have to finish healing first. And right now, I have no idea when I'll have time for any of that. My little guy is eating all the time!

You wont know until afterwards... the doctor can usually feel and see if he thinks its like that... I think it has to do with how far you can pull your skin when you pull on it after you have the babies. but they go in and re-connect them, and usually give you a mini-tummy tuck too... so you can get rid of the "twin skin".

HUM.... that diet sounds like it would not be fun at all!! I will keep it in mind though when Im done with this little apple. Im 5'10 though and I dont know if I could stand up if I only weighed 110lbs. Certainly with my huge boobs.

DDR is in my exercise plan too! I was doing it for prenatal exercise until people moved into the apt under me and then I felt bad.. I plan on walking a lot too and picking out an exercise dvd of some kind

What can I say, I'm a total nerd. I use video games to get into shape! Maybe you can figure out their work schedule and do it while they're gone?
