Exercise with baby? 3 Months, 3 Weeks ago Karma: 2  
Take baby on a ride:
As soon as baby is strong enough to hold up her head or about three months old, you can lie on your back and bring your knees above your chest. That should create a flat place on your shins to lie your baby tummy down on. Carefully hold your baby?s hands and slowly raise and lower your feet. If you also extend your feet away from you, it really works your quads and lower tummy.

William Tell:
Sit upright in a sturdy chair with your feet close together. Set your baby on your feet so he is sitting while you are holding his hands. When he is sturdy, keep your heels on the floor, but bounce your toes. You can sing or listen to the William Tell Overture while doing this. See if you can make it all the way through the song without stopping your feet. This really works the shin muscles.

Baby Bench Press:
When your baby is strong enough to easily hold up her head, lie on your back and hold her rib cage with your thumbs in front so she is facing you (don?t put your thumbs on her tummy unless you want her last meal in your face). Slowly lift her and bring her back close to your chest. Repeat several times. The advantage of using your baby is that she has fun, and the weight grows automatically.

Dancin? to the Music Baby:
Put on some music that you enjoy and dance, baby in arms. You can use relaxing, slow music, or bright, upbeat music. This exercise has several advantages: you get good cardio exercise, it helps calm baby down before sleep or if he is colicky, and it can help give your baby an appreciation for music and a sense of rhythm.

One great thing is to walk outside with your kids.Gives you exercise and gives the bubs that all important Vitamin D.
I have been carrying my baby in a sling since he was born and it is great calorie burner and they get to love the outdoors. Little Bear has always had a love for nature which all started from walks and talks and songs before she was born

When a man throws an empty cigarette package from an automobile, he is liable to a fine of $50.  When a man throws a billboard across a view, he is richly rewarded.  Pat Brown  quote from David Ogilvy, Ogilvy on Advertising, 1985
