Q: One major symptom of Prader-Willi Syndrome is weak muscles and lack of muscle tone. The weak muscles are usually most noticeable in the torso area. The child may also appear to have floppy limbs or a floppy body. The baby may also have a weak or soft cry. This is usually apparent at birth or right after birth. The floppiness or weakened muscles may get better or go away after a few months. Another common problem for children with PWS is feeding difficulties. The child may not be able to suck properly, so they will need assistance to feed. Because of the difficulties feeding, the child has slow growth development or a failure to grow. You may have to employ the use of feeding tubes or purchase special nipples to help the child suck properly. This generally causes a difficulty for the infant to thrive. These sucking problems may improve after a few months. As the child ages, they may experience rapid and excessive weight gain. This is generally due to problems with the pituitary gland and hormonal issues. The child may overeat, be hungry all the time, or have a food obsession, which adds to the weight gain. This generally occurs between ages one and six. The child may end up classified as obese. Another symptom of PWS is abnormal facial features. This includes almond shaped eyes, thin upper lips, narrowing at the temples, and a down turning of the mouth. The child may also have an upturned nose. Another developmental symptom of PWS is delayed development of the sexual organs. Often children with PWS have hypogonadism, which means they have underactive testicles or ovaries. This causes a reduced development of their genitalia. In females, they may have abnormally small vaginal lips and clitoris. In males, they may have a small scrotum or penis. They may have delayed or incomplete puberty. This also can lead to infertility. Children with PWS may display the signs of developmental delays. This may present as a minor or moderate intellectual disability, or the child may have learning disabilities. They may not do common physical developmental tasks until much later, such as sitting or walking. The child may test at an IQ of 50 to 70. Children may have difficulties with speech development.
A: Look for weak muscles. Check for feeding problems. Monitor for rapid weight gain. Check for facial abnormalities. Look for delayed development of genitalia. Monitor for developmental delays.

Q: Place your feet slightly more than hip-width apart. Wrap your fingers behind your head with your elbows sticking out to either side. Sink into a squat until your legs form a roughly 90- degree angle. Keep your upper body as vertical as possible and your chin up so that you are looking forward, not down. From here: Use the balls of your feet to push yourself up and forward into a jump. Don't worry about jumping high. Simply aim to land a few feet in front of your starting position. As you land on the balls of your feet, absorb the shock with your legs by sinking back into another squat. Jump again and repeat for a total of five to ten reps per set. " Use an actual jump box that is specifically designed for jumping exercises (which many gyms provide), or use any raised surface that will support your weight, like a sturdy, steady bench or bleachers. Stand within jumping distance with both feet planted hip-width apart, facing the box. From this starting position: Jump off the ground with both feet, using the balls of your feet to push yourself off the ground. Land on the box with both feet, distributing your weight evenly across them to stay balanced. Starting small so you have as much control over your last jump as your first, work your way up until you can complete three sets of 20 jumps per workout. As you master the height of one box or surface, challenge yourself by working with another that is even higher. Use two dumbbells weighing between 10 and 25 lbs (4.5 to 11.3 kg). Hold one in each hand, down along your sides. Set your feet directly below your shoulders and straighten your back. From here: Jump directly upward, not forward. Shrug your shoulders upward as you ascend. Relax your shoulders as you descend. Land in your starting position with both feet at the same time. Increase your sets and/or reps until you can do three sets of 25.
A: Do frog jumps. Use a "jump box. Do jump shrugs.

Q: If you're tired, it can be easy to just grab whatever is handy. Instead of reaching for a bag of chips or a pint of ice cream, try something a little more healthy but equally filling. Keep your pantry and refrigerator stocked with nutritious foods so you don't reach for something that can set you back. Fruits, carrot sticks, granola and cereal bars, nuts, wheat crackers, low-fat cheese and yogurt are all relatively easy to prepare but will leave you satisfied. If you take some time to split bulk foods into individual portions ahead of time, that will help when you don't have the energy to prepare something. It may be hard to find time to nap, but this will help reset your body to give you more energy in the daytime and give your body the rest it needs to repair itself, which includes losing pregnancy weight. In addition, sleeping when you're tired helps decrease the amount of cortisol in your blood; this is the stress hormone that can make it harder for you to lose weight. After the first few months, you can go back to your previous workout routine. You may find at first that you've lost fitness; be patient with yourself while you work back up to your pre-baby fitness level. Try cardio exercises like running, swimming, biking or hiking several times per week for half an hour at a time. Do light weight training to gain muscle strength. Take an aerobics class designed specifically for new moms. The instructor will focus on "trouble" areas to help you get back to your pre-pregnancy body. Take a post-pregnancy yoga class to improve your muscle tone. This could be a "mommy and me" type class or just a fun group of ladies in your town who lean on each other for support. These women can help you stay motivated and focused on your goal of losing baby weight.
A:
Watch your snack intake. Sleep when you need to. Do heavier workouts. Locate a support group for new moms.
