I gained about 50 lbs with my pregnancy, so far I have lost 30 since having him in January. My core is weak and I carry a lot of the weight in my lower stomach. Any work out videos that target the core and help you tighten back up the tummy and strengthen the hips again ? I know of a lot of individual exercises but I enjoy the work out videos :). Thank you!!!

    I did 30 Day Shred (I think it's on YouTube or you can buy the dvd for, like, $10) two times through (5 days/wk) after my second was born. I'd do it every morning while he napped or, if he wouldn't nap, while he hung out on the floor/in the bouncy chair next to me. It's fast and pretty effective.

    I also used a carrier with both kids and just went on epic walks. Epic.

    You can also try Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30. She had A LOT of core work in there and it really helped me tighten up my waist and strengthen my core after the kids. Pilates is great too - though its not really calorie torcher.
