Push-ups

Lay your baby on his or her back on a towel, blanket or mat. Position yourself over the baby in a push-up position with your hands and knees on the floor. Each time you come down for a push-up, rub your baby's nose or make a silly face. Remember to keep your abdomen tight as you go down.

Stretches

Staying in the push-up position, stretch one leg out in back of you, holding it straight out for a few seconds. Now alternate with the other leg. With each leg extension, try to stretch a little farther than the last stretch. Keep your abdomen tight and coo to your baby while you stretch.

Bouncing bridge

Lie down on your back and place your baby on your stomach. Place your feet firmly on the floor with your knees elevated and shoulders flat against the floor. Your arms will be gently cradling your baby. Tighten your abdominal muscles and lift your buttocks off the floor. Take in a deep breath and bring your knees together, holding in that position for a few seconds and releasing your buttocks. Gently ease back to the floor and breathe normally. Repeat several times; emphasizing the bouncing motion will delight your baby.

Dancing

Dancing to music is a favorite for both babies and moms. It's a great way to release stress and energy, move to the groove and get fit. Your baby will enjoy the bouncing and singing. The dancing may even tire both of you out, just in time for an afternoon nap.
