5 dvd’s to help get back in shape after baby

My son will be 16 weeks old tomorrow, time sure does fly by. Too bad the pounds don’t drop just as fast! Sure the pounds just fell off the first month but now I’m teetering on 15lbs over what I would like to be. So before I give up and just call Final Inches, I decided that I would take it up a notch and do a little bit more than the thirty on the treadmill everyday.
