Exercise

What's everyone doing for exercise after being cleared by your dr or midwife?  I just had my 6 week pp visit yesterday and I'm down 30 pounds with 30 more pounds to lose to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. 

My dr cleared me to do any kind of exercise but I'm having a tough time finding a good starting point.  I'm already walking with LO everyday.  Before and during pregnancy I swam, golfed, and played tennis but I won't be able to jump right back into any of those without someone to watch LO. 

What are some good suggestions for exercise programs that you've had good experiences with that I might be able to do at home while LO naps?

Thanks ladies!

    Jillian Michaels has a bunch of 30 minute videos that

    It was really effective for me Pre preg

    I've been doing yoga since about 4 weeks PP... I got cleared by the doc yesterday and went for about a 20 minute walk/jog and did Tracy Anderson's post pregnancy DVD, which I got on amazon for like $10.  It's 45 minutes, a lot of ab work, and I co

    So glad I'm not the only one who gained more than that ridiculous twenty pounds the drs. Talk about while pregnant! I haven't weighed myself yet because my six week checkup isn't until next week. I've definitely got a little ways to go. I'm going to start

    Thank you all so much for your suggestions.  I definitely have more to go on now - I've never really worked out at home so it's new territory for me lol.  Thanks again!
