I joined this group and site when I was pregnant with my first child, a girl. She was born 7/14, emergency c-sec. Anyhow, I am back to work and feeling normal again so I'm back on this site too.

I'm trying to kick it up a notch and get in gear to actively try to lose the remaining 25 pounds of baby weight. Any suggestions of low-impact (bad knees) exercises I can do that preferably I can include the baby in, one way or another??
