I'd only go on Easy mode with some of the slower songs that don't involve jumping.  Excercise is good if you're pregnant, it can make the labor easier, but I'd check with your doctor about which excercises are good.  DDR may or may not be good for it.  I knew a woman that jogged during pregnancy and she had a great labor.  So find out with a doctor.

This takes a consistent exercise and nutrition plan. No ab exercise or machine reduces the size of your abs. Most of the claims made by such companies are fictitious and have no basis on science. Focus on eating 4 to 5 small healthy meals a day consisting of fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains, unsalted nuts and seeds and if you eat meat select baked, broiled fish, chicken and turkey. Avoid fast food and junk like sodas. Begin by going on a brisk walk with your baby for 4,000 steps daily. Slowly increase your distance each week with a goal to do 8 to 10 thousand steps a day. I do recommend Yoga or Pilate's for your posture and breathing.

For the user that said that nothing will helop that is a total lie, I have one daughter and she is five and a half, for the first five years after she was born, I never worked out or anything, now for the last 14 weeks I have been working out, you do not have to go to the gym either, you could jog in your neighborhood, ride a bike, because you need some sort of cardio, then you could do hundreds of different ab exercises right on you living room floor, you could go to fitness magazine online and they have tons of examples of what you can do, My entire belly is not gone, but now it is toned, is your stomach discolored too? by strechmarks? Because if it is cocoa butter works miracles, I promise my strech marks are white now, and you cannot even see them without looking real close, also if your diet is bad you coule start to eat healthier too, after you do some good cardio, you will not want to eat bad foods, you could eat some peanuts and 4 or 5 ounces of chocolate milk(to give you protien, it makes you stronger!!!! Good luck you can do it!!! Trust me you will feel so much better!!! Also what I do with my daughter to get work out, is I turn on a good cd to dance to and Just so I wouldn't stop, I would tell her, ok lets dance to five songs, you can't act any sillier than what you act like in front of your children, often you are having so much fun you will go longer than five songs!!!! Good luck, Love yourself!!!! That helps too!!!

I would not reccomend useing it . It alot of cases it can cause you to get sick or bring on contractions that are way to bad . It also can cause you to go into false labor . So what I would reccomend is that you start walking and as well you can also work on getting the baby in a heads down position  and ready to come down by placing your hands on your hips and then place your feet at shoulders width and squat until you feel preasure in your bottom . Try not to use your stomach muscles . If you find this to hard then you could brace yourself on the back of a chair . Kegel excersizes work as well . You can also lay on your back place a pillow under your neck and knees facing up open your legs from the knees outward and back in . I used these methods when I was 38 weeks and I gave birth on the 39 week . Good luck ! congrats !

If you are home you can try to put something warm on it (like a bottle filled with warm water) it should make your belly muscles relax. And also just lay down and stretch your body and then try to relax.\nHope that helps.

In Asia, we can opt for traditional body massages. This is not advised if we had gone through Caesarean. Massages help to firm up the muscles after delivery. These massages can be done in the comfort of your home. No equipment needed - only a pair of strong hands and herbal oil.\n\nThere are also lots of slimming centres here who offer slimming courses for after birth. They offer slim wraps and heat treatment to slim down the belly. Lots of  fanciful equipment may be used and will costs more as it is done at professional slimming centres.

I have the same problem.  A friend of mine (who had 3 kids) told me 1) Diet, 2) Cardio and 3) Ab workout.  So I am upping my protein, lowering my carbs, upping my cardio, and I do crunches and leg lifts.  I also try to hold in my tummy when working out.  It is starting to work, but it takes time.

The 3 Most Effective Stomach Exercises \n1: Bicycle Maneuver \n\nGetting Into Position \n\nLie flat on your mat, with your lower back pressed to the mat. \n\nYour head is resting on your hands with elbows bent and out to the sides. \n\nRaise your head, neck and shoulders as you pull your knees up towards your chest. \n\nThe Exercise \n\nSlowly go through a bicycle pedaling motion by pushing your left leg out while at the same time twisting your torso to bring your left elbow to touch your right knee. \n\nReturn slowly to the starting position by pulling both knees into your chest. \n\nWithout stopping, push out your right leg while at the same time twist your torso to bring your right elbow to touch your left knee. \n\nKeep even relaxed breathing throughout. \n\nRepeat this continuous motion by alternating 5 times on each sides. As you get stronger, alternating 10 times on each side. \n\n2: Captain's Chair \n\nThis exercise requires a piece of stomach workout equipment, the Captain's Chair, which looks like a tall chair without a seat. \n\nGetting Into Position \n\nStabilize your upper body by gripping the handholds and lightly pressing your lower back against the back pad. \n\nThe starting position begins with you holding your body up and legs dangling below. \n\nThe Exercise \n\nNow slowly lift your knees in toward your chest. The motion should be controlled and deliberate as you bring the knees up and return them back to the starting position. \n\nDo 12 repetitions. \n\n3: Crunch on Exercise Ball \n\nGetting Into Position \n\nSit on an exercise ball with your feet flat on the floor. Let the ball roll back slowly. \n\nNow lie back on the ball until your thighs and torso are parallel with the floor. \n\nPlace hands behind your head (or cross your arms over your chest) and slightly tuck your chin in toward your chest. \n\nThe Exercise \n\nContract your stomach, raising your torso to no more than 45 degrees. For better balance, spread your feet wider apart. \n\nTo challenge the obliques, make the exercise less stable by moving your feet closer together. \n\nExhale as you contract; inhale as you return to the starting position. \n\nDo 12 repetitions. \n\nThe Cool Down \n\nDo a lower intensity version of the marching in place warm up exercise, for 3-5 minutes, to cool down your body and get your heart rate return to normal level. \n\n\n\nThe Stomach Stretch \nStomach Stretch 1 \n\nStand tall with with your feet hip-width apart. \n\nLift your arms straight up towards the ceiling, your palms facing forward. \n\nWith slow, controlled movements, bring your arms down to your sides. \n\nYour palms should end up facing inward. At the same time, round your back, bring your chin towards your chest and contract your stomach muscles. \n\nHold for 20 seconds. \n\nReturn slowly to the starting position. \n\nDo 10 times. \n\nStomach Stretch 2 \n\nStand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Unlock your knees and roll back your shoulders. \n\nRaise your arms out to the sides, to shoulder level and parallel to the floor. \n\nTwist your torso as far as you can to your left. \n\nTry to twist only from your waist and keep your lower body stable. \n\nTwist back as far as you can to your right. \n\nContinue twisting left and right until you've done 30 to 50 times. \n\n\nStomach Exercises And Healthy Weight Loss Diets \nExercise alone will not get you a flat stomach; it'll merely give you stronger stomach muscles. \n\nThe key to having a flatter stomach is a combination of these 3 things: \n\n\n\nEat a healthy-weight-loss diet; \n\nInclude cardio exercise in your exercise program; \n\nPlus doing extra of the 3 above proven effective stomach exercises \n\nThen you'll be on your way to having a stronger and flatter stomach!!!!

Congrats!\nmake sure you stay away from junk food. take the baby out for a walk everyday (provided its not raining or freezing). if you run, you can get a stroller especially for that. also, you can use the baby as a weight.to work on your arms.

I don't know how easy this will be for you, but swimming is how I toned up after both of my babies!  I had c-sections with both, so I have a lot of muscle damage.  But it worked very well for me.  I hope it helps you too.

Walk or run outside several times a week, it's free. Try going up and down a few flights of steps each time too. Crunches or situps on the days you don't run--- it'll help flatten your tummy.  Pushups to tone your arms.  Or.... pop in a great CD or organize your favorite MP3s into a collection that has some peppy songs you can dance to and make up your own aerobics routing.  All kinds of thins to do, the hardest part is getting motivated to do it!! Good luck!

Not being a yoga practitioner I will share what I know about regular exercise. If you have been doing this all along you should be able to return fairly soon after a vaginal delivery(1-3eeks) c-sections take considerably longer(6 weeks+) as there are layers of muscle and tissue that need to heal slowly to heal completely your OB will tell you when its okay to start either way just remember your body went thru a huge ordeal to give birth and as with anything it takes a little while for things to get back to normal. Eat well and get plenty of rest this will help your body the most so you can get back to yoga\n\nBTW I have heard that yoga helps a great deal in preparing your body for natural childbirth.\n\nGood luck

Your body has changed from giving birth ,do not worry this is normal,In Vancouver where I live many women with newborns jog every day with there kids in a carriage and the pounds eventually come off.Don't forget if you are breast feeding as you should be you need additional proteins-vegetables ,juices for a healthy child.Do the exercise cut back on processed foods and treat your body like a goddess and you will lose weight and more important have a very healthy child-GOOD LUCK!!!!!!
