I had five, my youngest is 11 years old and I am beginning to reclaim my body at last.

After two years of cycling I have dropped 10kg and gone down two dress sizes... however, the "loose" tummy muscles are still there and show no signs of getting firm again. While I still need to lose some weight, I need to consistently build in some tummy crunches to pull my muscles back into line.

When we are pregnant, our tummy muscles relax and the hormones allow the muscle fibres to stretch. Pre-pregnancy they go up and down... and while pregnant they move to allow baby to grow so they curve out towards the side of your body...

After one or two babies they generally "bounce" back into shape... after three or four they need work to teach them where they are supposed to be (particularly if you had babies close together... like me, I had five children in five years... they are currently 18 1/2, 17, just 16, 13, 11 1/2 )

Build tummy crunches into your day, and take it day by day
