She wore a loose tie-dye maxi dress, and he sported a "Hello, Ladies" shirt for the interactive mommy-and-me class, which the two have been regularly attending.

They attended a Laker game last month and, more recently, the PGA Tour Wives Association 25th Anniversary event in Santa Monica, CA, on Monday. At the golf celebration, Hilary revealed that she's lost 30 pounds since giving birth to Luca in 2012. She credits the weight loss to a combination of circuit training and sculpting Pilates sessions.

It's been 11 months since Hilary Duff gave birth to baby Luca, and the actress has been talking about how she has been boxing and running her way back to her pre-baby figure.

The Lizzie McGuire actress has also continued to do Pilates, which she has been a fan of for over seven years. Running up hills is a great (and free!) way of keeping fit and toning up. You can burn an additional three to five calories per minute of running when jogging up a five per cent hill grad...
