[blparent] exercising at home

[Bernadetta Pracon]

Careful--Not sure if Gabe for got to mention this or what, but you're 
not supposed to lift weights excessively when starting off. That's 
really not advisable. You also want to start off with five or ten pound 
weights and Gradually work up to your potential will give you better, 
more consistent results longterm.
And eating small meals more frequently is  advisable, rather  than 
fasting and eating only one or two meals a day. That allows your 
metabolism to regulate itself.
However, you asked about exercise, and as a mom of a small baby myself, 
I do understand your issue with time. When little ones take naps, you 
suddenly find yourself not knowing what to do: Should I do some 
cleaning? Should I cook something? Sort out the baby's things--There's 
always more to do than time permits. And exercise is often put on the 
backburner, whether  intentionally or not.
Walking and stretching really is your best bet. If you're trying to 
tone your middle, situps and crunches will work.
