Have a kid-balancing ball while your abs and glutes get a tightening work out.
You
Your kid
A ball
1 Lay on your back with ball secure at your pelvis resting on thighs.

2 Place child on ball on belly, with head in good breathing position.

3 Hold onto child as you raise your hips in the air, squeezing those glutes and digging your heels into the ground.

4 Go nice and slow: kid safety is priority #1. (A tight butt is priority #2.)

5 Don't forget to brace your tummy and breathe!

Start with three sets of 10, three times a week. After one month increase to three sets of 20, three times per week. Soon, you will start to see strength in both your abdominals and your glutes. Toned bodies are great, but safety comes first! Practice this exercise without your child so you can become familiar with the movement. At all times, please make sure that your child is secure and his or her head is supported. If you have any concern or doubt about your or your kid's safety, please perform this exercise alone (or not at all!).
