How to flatten tummy?

i have the post maternity figure as well. so i understand how you feel. I do yoga and pilates at home. and yogalates (which is a combo of both). Both these work on on the core muscles (abs) in our body. i do this at home, w/ dvd's. I have differen't ones to mix it up, that way i don't get bored. But usually i stick w/ one for about a week then swap it over to a different one and the swap again. On my lazy days i do basic pilates by mari winsor, which is only about 20-30 mins. i usually exercise about 5-6 times a week. i try to do it in the morning as that is when i feel more motivated. but if you stick out it you will notice differences. i've noticed that i don't have as much lower back pain. i'm also becoming a lot more flexible. the reason i do yoga and pilates is that's it's gentle but it's still a hard work out, you just adapt it to what you are capable to do.

Stomach crunches my dear, the only permanent solution, 10 minutes every day.

I hold my belly in all day everyday. That helped me lose my post maternity belly. I also nursed, nursing can also burn maternity weight. I lost all of my maternity weight within 3 weeks of having my baby without exercising.
