First of all, CONGRATULATIONS! I assume if you’ve taken an interest in this post then not long ago you welcomed a new little member into your family! May you enjoy a speedy recovery and your son/daughter be blessed in his/her fresh start to life.

Did you know that I actually started Tone-and-Tighten.com for someone in your EXACT same position? No joke! As a father to three very amazing children, my wife came to me after each pregnancy and essentially said “I want my pre-baby body back”.
