In this video Flex Fitness personal trainer, Jessi Montgomery, demonstrates a great workout that you can do at home with your newborn baby. This workout will challenge you and include your baby to improve their connection with you while adding some weight as more of a challenge to mom.
Jessi also suggests to try a “Pelvic Floor Breathing Exercise” (not shown in video). Perform this exercise by inhaling through your belly creating an “umbrella” with your rib cage. Exhale as you pull your bellybutton in and up into your rib cage, tightening the whole abdomen from the bottom up to the top at the end of the exhale. Repeat this 15-20 times until you feel the pelvic floor/transverse abdominal muscles engage.
