Great program that helped me lose weight while breastfeeding

My children are 2 and 1/2 years apart and I had just lost the last pounds of weight from my first pregnancy when my second child was born. I had a much easier time losing weight after the second pregnancy but I pounds around the middle that I couldn't get rid of. I was also plagued by fatigue from caring for two children and breastfeeding a very demanding little one.

I found a great program that helped me gain some energy and deal with the pounds around my middle. Going to the gym or classes was out for me because of childcare issues so I looked for something that I could do at home. I found a series of core-strengthening exercises on the Mayo Clinic's web site. These can be done easily while your baby plays on the floor. These exercises really helped me get my shape back quickly and they helped to alleviate the aches and pains of sitting and breastfeeding. My son is two now and I still do these exercises when we are playing in the floor.

The link for this slide show is http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/core-strength/SM00047. The slide show is easy to follow and can be printed as an easy reference while doing the exercises. I have recommended these to lots of people and everyone who has tried them is impressed with the quick results.

This series of exercises helped me to get back on track with doing some more strenuous workouts and it can be done anywhere because it doesn't require any equipment. I don't know about the other moms out there but I find it difficult to squeeze in any time for me so this routine has really helped because it can be done throughout the day anywhere I land with the little ones.
