Mommy & Me Workout

1.Tabletop with ball squeeze

Lie on your back with knees bent in a tabletop position and your baby propped against your thighs. Squeeze the ball between your knees, placing one hand behind your head and one hand on your baby to steady him. Inhale, then exhale as you draw your abs in and lift your head and shoulders off the floor, looking at your baby. Hold for 10 seconds, working up to 15. Lower your head and repeat.

2A.Tabletop Energized

Lie on your back with your baby beside you. Place the ball under your lower back, just below your waist. Move your arms into a T-position, palms down. Take a moment to find your balance, then raise your legs to a tabletop position, toes pointed [A]. Inhale and drop your left heel toward the floor [B]. Exhale and lift the heel back up. Do 5 times, then switch sides.
