I'm almost 7 months pp of my second which was only with a 5 month gap inbetween. I ended up with split abs, so had to take plenty of time to do the suggested small exercises to help them to come back together and I'm only just now getting out into the gym. I've made huge changes to my diet (I lived on what ever was quick which meant many a night with a take-away. baby and toddler leave me with no time!) - I've got a good, regular exercise routine over 5 days a week, each day focusing on something different. As well as that, with my diet to aid my work in the gym, I've replaced some meat with Quorn (lots of protein for the gym work and less fat) and tried to take out gluten where I can (gluten free bagels, bread, etc) and then just healthy eating. I have 4 main meals a day, but it depends what you're doing in the gym (or just exercise wise) for that, I'm also trying to gain a lot of muscle on my arms, legs etc. DH is going through a personal training course and kindly put me in touch with one of his friends who's a PT so I could run through what I'm doing with the guy and he could tell me whether it would work or not... and thankfully, it will. Just with time. He suggested sticking to low calorie meals, but the healthy eating and exercise routines I have going will work. I have a blog where I post progress pictures and my exact work out routines to the tee, so you're more than welcome to take a look at that and follow me if you have/create your own blog. I've found it wonderful for support and seeing the progress of other mothers. That would be teaabeaar.tumblr.com - my fitness blog. There's not much there yet, I'm only just getting to it. You're more than welcome to message me on there, or PM me on here for advice and help - my life is pretty centred around getting rid of my mummy tummy right now, so I have a few tricks and tips. Good luck!
