Whether you’re a health fanatic and can’t wait to get back into your exercise routine after the baby is born, or you’ve never exercised a day in your life – these five moves are so easy, they allow for an array of new moms to be able to get their fitness on.

1. Slow Dancing

Your baby loves and needs to be held so you might as well burn some calories while holding them, right? Hold your baby in your arms or wear them and dance away.
Not only will the fluid movements lull baby to sleep, but you’ll be doing your body a favor by being physical.

2. Curls

While baby is napping, grab your hand weights and get curling.

3. Stretches

Another great exercise that is not super strenuous. Stretches can be done when baby is asleep or awake.
Sit on the floor and do some simple stretching or get in some easy yoga moves. If you have an exercise ball, break it out and loosen up those tight muscles.

4. Lunges:

Another versatile exercise, lunges are fantastic for toning legs, calves, thighs, and the buttocks.
These are probably the most beneficial to sneak in when you can.

5. Walking:

Arguably the best and safest exercise out there – walking.
Great to do with a new baby. Strap baby into the stroller and get going. You’ll both get to take in the scenery, breathe in some fresh air, and they’ll probably get lulled to sleep by the movement of the stroller. Win-win for all.

• As always, consult with your doctor before starting any exercise program and keep them informed of your progress along the way.
• If you’re breastfeeding, keep in mind that you’ll need extra calories, so it’s best not to calorie count until weaning.
• And remember, it’s always safest to lose weight slowly, naturally, and in the most healthiest way possible.
