Any woman who’s given birth to at least one baby knows how hard it can be to get those pregnancy pounds off. But who has time for long, involved exercise programs? Fitness and nutrition expert Lindsay Brin has the perfect solution: a DVD fitness program divided into stages of pregnancy and postpartum. Her Moms Into Fitness Complete Pregnancy Fitness Program keeps Mom fit from the first trimester all the way through post-delivery. The first three trimester programs including cardio, toning, and yoga, and the postpartum program features shorter, 10 and 5 minute workout sessions, so busy moms can fit some exercise time into their day. The entire program of 4 DVDs is available for $69.99, or you can buy each individual DVD for $19.99 each, at MomsIntoFitness.com.

This Strollometer Computer/Speedometer attaches easily to your child’s stroller and measures speed,  trip time, has a clock and provides the temperature reading. If you spend a lot of time during the day out for a stroll with your child, this Speedometer may be an added incentive for you to really get the most out of those little “strolls.” By the time you’ve gone the whole distance around the park or around the neighborhood, you’d be surprised at the distance you’ve covered. Having this Computer Speedometer attached to the stroller would be a great motivator for exercising and getting in (or staying in) shape.

We all have to take our children out for a stroll and instead of just following behind, now you can do more.The Indie by Bumbleride is a lightweight (only  20lbs) stroller that has the off-road capability of a multi-terrain stroller. It has all kinds of important features for the jogger and for baby. What interests me most is that you can take your child for a “jog” without compromising his comfort or safety.

You can read all about this cool stroller at poshtots.com, where it’s priced at $399.99.

The most primal instinct with babies is touch. It’s the first way that babies respond to their world and to the important people in their world.

Parenting Magazine, June 2005, described the Baby Tata DVD as follows: “Soothing touches based on the Indian tradition of parent-child bonding through massage, some giggle-inducing play, and karaoke all come together in a wonderfully produced program starring one friendly masseuse and lots of babies.”

I think it’s a helpful and healthy way to spend time bonding with your baby. The DVD gives you the option of doing a full length 22 minute workout or a quick 10 minute session. If you’ve ever wanted to learn massage, this is a good way start. The baby massage routines are presented by certified Infant Massage Instructor, Monica Doshi LMT, CIMI, NCMIT, who takes you through the Baby Tata routines by demonstrating the basics of infant massage, play, and exercise. This sounds like a great family activity–get everyone involved!

The Baby Tata Infant Massage, Exercise and Play DVD is recommended for babies between the ages of 6 weeks and 18 months. There is also vegetable-based Baby Massage Oil available at the Web site (sold separately).

You can purchase this DVD for $19.95 at StyleBell.com.
