Weeks after your baby's birth your doctor gives you the o.k. to resume your workout program or suggests you start one. The problem is you have no time, no energy, and sometimes you don't feel like leaving your baby's side. Don't worry you can get in great shape with the help of your little one and these easy exercises.

Side Step Rocker
Hold your baby across your arms and close to your chest. Stand with feet hip width apart, shoulders back, and abs tucked in. Take a big step to the right, push your butt back, and keep your upper body upright as you bend your knees until your legs are almost parallel with the floor. Rock your upper body and baby to the right while contracting your abs. Push through your right heel and raise back up to starting position. Repeat on the left side. Do 1 set of 20 alternating sides.

One Arm Wall Push
Hold your baby upright with your right arm and his/her head resting on your right shoulder. Stand arms length in front of a wall with feet wider than shoulder width apart. Place your left hand on the wall. Bend your left elbow so that your forehead almost touches the wall then push back up to starting position. Repeat 10 ten times on each side.

Decline Crunch With Twist
Sit down on the floor with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Hold your baby across your arms and close to your chest. Sit up as tall as you can then lean back about 4 inches and twist your upper body slightly to the right as you contract your abs. Raise back up to starting. Repeat on the left side. Do 1 set of 10-15 alternating sides. If this is too difficult for you just eliminate the twist at the end.

Good Morning Kickbacks
Hold your baby upright across your chest and stand with feet hip width apart in front of your bed. Keeping your legs straight (don't lock your knees) start pushing your butt back and bend forward so your baby and upper body rest on the bed. Keeping both legs straight kick your right leg back so it's parallel with the floor. Return to standing position and repeat on the opposite side. Do 1 set of 10-15 alternating sides.
