 In
today's fast paced world, all moms want to get back to
their pre-pregnancy shape (especially, the belly)
once the baby is delivered.
Begin with a walking routine
while pushing the baby stroller -- it's one of the best
ways to burn more fat in less time. If you're just
starting out, stick to shorter durations for the first
two weeks, then gradually increase the time. To learn
more, check out this week's article, Exercises to Lose
Baby Weight, Fast.

 In
general, running on a treadmill is less demanding than
running on the road at the same speed. There are a
couple of reasons for this, including: there's no air
resistance inside and the treadmill's moving surface
helps propel you forward. But if you want your treadmill
runs to be as physically challenging and as intense as
your road runs, there's a simple solution: Set the
treadmill's incline at 1% and exercise at your usual
road speed. And if you'd like to take a break from
running, but would like to exercise at the same
intensity, you can increase the incline up to 10% and
walk briskly uphill while pumping your arms back and
forth.

Richer for it all
 Some
days are filled with smiles and laughter, while others
are full of tears. Some days you move five steps ahead,
and other days you fall back three.
When things are going great, enjoy it while it's here.
If things are going not so well, you're building more
appreciation and joy for when the good times come again.
If there never was any down, you could not ever come
back up. If you could never, ever lose, you would not
want to win. The bright and sunny days would be
unbearably oppressive if the rainy days never came. When
night seems at its darkest is when the dawn begins.
What a blessing it is to be alive, to experience all
this and more. No matter what each moment brings, no
matter how each day turns out, life is richer for it
all.
