Baby body preparing for summer, help!

Any tips on how to lose the tummy after having a baby? I been doing pushups, ab roller, and sit ups, and running with my baby. I'm looking for new ideas for at home workouts to tone up

You can’t spot lose fat - losing weight all over is the only way to lose stomach fat.

In terms of strengthening the muscles which have been stretched out, you sound like you’re doing everything right! Abs roller in particular is great for core strength. The only things I might suggest to add are strength workouts with compound movements such as squats, deadlifts, and overhead press. And look up vacuum exercises, which are useful if you have pregnancy related diastasis recti. Vacuum exercises are basically breathing out, then trying to suck your navel in towards your spine.

Good luck!

CONCLUSIONS:
This study extends conventional observational study methods to incorporate propensity score approaches that make it possible to separate the study design from the study analysis to account for systematic differences in women who did and did not breastfeed. After reducing potential bias, breastfeeding for greater than 6 months was independently associated with smaller Waist Circumference in the decade after delivery.

A sister-friend is approaching her 7th month@lactation and is presently weaning her infant with part breast-milk, part formula, before she'll eventually consider committing to a programme full-throttle.
