I had a baby almost 10 months ago and I am actually now below my prepregnancy weight. I am currently 120lb at 5'6 so I think I am at a good weight and I don't need to lose anymore, but I still look at my tummy and am not completely satisfied. Any exercise suggestions to tone up that tummy area that inevitably gets affected by pregnancy?

    No, I don't think you need to lose anymore. You actually sound underweight unless you are really small boned.

    If you try and target a specific area to work out, it usually doesn't work. I'd recommend some Tabata or HIIT work outs. They work out the entire body and can be done anywhere. You can find these free in apps store and You -Tube...Good Luck!!

    Right, but at a size 6 or 14 I doubt someone is underweight. Its not like I can wear a size 0 and sometimes a size 6...I don't even think I could fit a leg in a size 0 or 2 for that matter. I might be able to squeeze into a size 4 but it won't be pretty lol

    rather than trying to isolate a certain area consider any number of full body resistance training programs...you want to work your whole body. the foundation of these programs should be compound movements that work your whole body, including your core...this is how you build a really strong core. programs may include some isolation work, but the full body stuff is what is going to give you the most bang for your buck...
