Mom & Baby Workout

Do 15 reps of each exercise for 2 rounds!!

Lunges

Pushing the stroller or holding your baby securely, take a big step forward and bend your legs to 90 degrees into a lunge position. Because the weight (baby) is in the front, be sure to keep your abs pulled in tight so you don’t hurt your lower back. Watch the front knee so it doesn’t go over the front toes








 Squats

Hold on to your baby as you squat down (optional: squat over a bench and squat down low enough to kiss your tailbone on the bench). Draw the belly in tight as you drive through the heels and stand up.















 

Leg Extensions

Sit on a park bench with baby sitting on one shin, or on top of the foot. Holding her hands, lift you leg straight up to work the quad. Bouncy!





        

Sit-Ups

Lie on your back with your knees bent at 90 degrees. Sit your child on your tummy and hold onto her hands. Perform a sit-up, working your abdominal muscles, and give her a kiss at the top of the move!



Abdominal Plank

Hold this position on your forearms and toes, with your body in a straight line. Lay your baby on the ground under you as you nuzzle her neck with your nose.

Push-Ups

Lay the baby on her back and get into the push-up position. Keep your abdominals engaged and your body in one straight line. Each time you lower down for the push-up, give your baby a smooch!



There you go!! No excuses :)
