That should be a workout! My dd is 20lbs and that is a major workout for me to carry her around!

WOW - I think that it should be!! My daughter is way too big for me to carry her any more. I mean doing other house work counts??!! I wonder who you should ask about this? Maybe you should count it as walking w/weights.

Ok. So I was told that when you carry your baby around that its not considered a excerise!

ummm...excuse me? But i think it is! i mean that is like a weight your carring around when you walk, go places, etc. you know.

My daughter is 18lbs, and i do everything with her on my hip, (she hates her stroller when something cool is happening, and hates to just sit there. so i hold her alot! i know im spoiling her, but i love her!), or in the baby bijorn. so these people who say that it doesnt count as a workout, i think you are wrong! you try doing this.

if i dont make any sense sorry, but it really fusterated me when a woman here on sp told me that.

so you tell me, do you think that it should be counted as a excerise? i mean dont we work out with weights in the gym, or at home just so we can get max results? cant your child, who you spend all day with, be that weight for you?
