Hi gals! I found this nice video on an arm/shoulder/chest workout you can do at home with dumbbells and I thought I would share - looks like it can be fit into a busy mama's day!
I'm only 2 weeks away from my OK from my midwife to start an exercise routine again so I've been looking for some weight training I can do from home. I seriously want some sexy arms so I'm hoping that a little weight work will give me that and sway me some blue
Anyways! The video!

Here's another resource I'm going to use - this is all a bodyweight routine (there is one part with pullups, but nothing else needs equipment) - so it can all be done at home
You have to sign up to get the ebook & videos for the routine, though you can unsubscribe from the email newsletter after if you don't find it helpful! I like it though

Ok ladies, I've officially started my weekly routine and it's exciting
I've detailed out my current weekly schedule here:
http://blog.getting-pregnant.com/my-...kout-schedule/
This is all stuff that can be done at home. We do have a pull-up bar and I have a set of hand weights at 6, 8, and 10lbs. I am doing the Tupler exercises to close my diastasis (the gap that develops between the "six pack" muscles during pregnancy) and do those 3x a day, but everything else I fit into about 30-45min during the afternoon a few afternoons a week. So I think it can be worked into anyone's schedule.
I am hoping this will take the rest of my baby weight from sweetie DD off and then just build up some muscle/tone so I can give her a little brother down the line!Wife to a sweetie DH& Mama to:

nice!! very helpful. im doing most of the same stuff. ive stopped doing lunges bc of my knees. squats are still ok. planks im getting used to too fast so i might try the tupler thing...1st time hearing about it. ive swicthed from tricep dips to bent over flies/rows. i think varying helps bc after about a month it got easy and boring and i dont have many weights to work with (just 5lbs and 20pounds) thanks!!!

Skrimpy, thankyou so much for all this info! I just had a look at your weekly schedule and it is fantastic. I always knew about diastasis but didn't really worry about it too much (until now!). I will definitely be modifying my weight/exercise schedule. I have probably been making my diastasis worse. No wonder I have an outie belly button, I always just blamed it on the pregnancies. Getting off the topic now... Anyway thanks again, very useful info

Gizmo & Bec you can read more about the Tuplers here: http://blog.naturalbirthandbabycare....osing-the-gap/ They're like kegels - you do tons of them and can do them pretty much anytime. I do them even while I'm driving to help those tummy muscles! The "outie" belly button is a big sign of diastasis!
I am looking forward to this routine getting boring, I feel like a wimp right now. But so happy to be back into a routine and feeling like I'm actually going to be toning and looking nice again. I agree it's good to keep some variety in there. I like the idea of switching to the flies/rows for the triceps. I'm going to keep varying to tone b/c I would really like my arms to look less flabby.
I got my weights from Walmart, they had a really good price and shipped to the local store free, so if you want to add some more dumbbell weight range in there check it outWife to a sweetie DH& Mama to:

After doing some more reading about it I don't think I have diastasis, just a messed up belly button! Anyway, the gap between the abs is only 1.5 fingers so I don't think that is classed as diastasis. I am going to do the tupplers anyway, they can't hurt. I love, love your weekly schedule. I am going to use it as a guide
