Alright so I've started losing some weight but my big issue is toning. I am a new mom of my son who is 8 months old so obviously my stomach is lacking some firmness as well as my back and upper thighs. My arms are ok from lifting and carrying my son so often. Does anyone have any exercise/websites anything that they've seen results with that they would like to share? Preferably something I can do at home as I can not afford to go to the gym nor do I have the time to make an extra trip into the city to work out. Thanks and if you have any hints to help feel free to add me as a friend but send a message to go with it please!

    Hi,

    I am also trying to lose my baby weight (still), my youngest is 18 months old.

    I try to do a mixture of 50 sit up/abdominal crunches a day. Another good exercise is bringing your leg up to your and then kicking it out (like the can can). Everytime you bring your leg up, breath in to pull your tummy muscles in.

    Hope this helps :happy:

    Hello Twylla, try going on Bodybuilding.com it has awesome workout tips for women, diet tips and all that good stuff.. I use that as reference when im looking for a different workout routine, and if i want any supplements too.. But overall i use MFP as my diet regulator. so if u use both website (both have phone apps too!) it's gunna do u a lot of help plus it can educate u more on workouts and supplements. :) Hope this helps! Stay Strong!

    squats, lunges, leg lifts would all work those butt/thighs

    variations of crunches would work the tummy as well as planks.

    Are you getting your cardio? If not all you're doing is creating muscle under fat which won't give you results, so get that heart rate up while you're at it.
