[blparent] exercising at home

[Veronica Smith]

My dr said when sitting, suck your belly button in and pretend that you are
trying to get it to touch your spine.  It flattens your tummy, no kidding.

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.
