HELLO EVERYONE,
I'm 10 weeks post baby and I'm looking to get my stomach back to what it was. It's not bad at all but I want it back flat and back to looking and feeling like myself again. I'm a stay @ home mom so I'm looking for suggestion I can do in the home. I'm looking for quick but healthy suggestions or diet too.
Thanks
Re: DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY EXERCISE TO GET MY POST BABY STOMACH BACK?
I am just pregnant now with my first, however...
I went into this pregnancy with a six pack and will try my best to get it back after LO arrives! Check out trainer Cindy Whitmarsh. She is a mom of three and has amazing abs, and the best ab videos. I work from home and her videos were really easy to do in my house. And best part is that they aren't just a million crunches. GL!
The main exercise I did for my stomach was just laying flat on my back, then lifting my legs (both together) straight up in the air and doing circles.. Up, to the right, down, to the left, up, etc..... It's actually awesome for the lower stomach.
Also going on hands and knees and stretching out one leg and one arm straight out while keeping your stomach muscles nice and tight.

You probably have to correct your diastasis before you can get a flat belly -- I wear the splint every day and just started the exercises.
I agree with PP, abs are made in the kitchen. Keep your diet very clean and don't overdo it on the starchy carbs. As far as exercise: Lose any fat covering your abs through diet, cardio, and weight training.
My favorite flat belly exercise is the hanging knee raise. Get a doorway pull up bar (if you don't have one), hang from it and slowly raise both knees up towards your chest. I usually do 3 sets of 12-15 reps. They won't define your abs like crunches, but they really help flatten your stomach.
