Walking is one of the best exercises and one that can be done easily with a child in a stroller. When my kids were young and it was too hot to be outside, I would head to the mall. I think my oldest son spent more time at NorthPark, than at any outside park. I could window shop and people watch, which made it interesting to me. As the weather gets cooler, then you can go outside in your neighborhood or there are several really nice parks with walking trails in the Garland Area. But before long it will be too cold to be outside, so go back to the mall and enjoy the Christmas decorations. For tummy toning, one of the best exercises is just holding your tummy in. I have back problems and am going to physical therapy. My therapist said to get in the habit of sucking in my stomach during commercials or while sitting at a stop light. Also, just lay on the floor or bed with your son and do stomach crunches and leg lifts. I use to put my sons on my legs and use them as weights. They loved it.
