Squat With Love!

Members Were Sparked

I have a 16 month old (27 lb) toddler that wants to be a part of EVERYTHING I do! So.. While Holding her, I do squats! I do 2 sets of 10 to start off (you try it holding 27 lbs!).. And while counting out loud, I'm also teaching her NUMBERS! She loves it and thinks its a learning game and I get to burn away my thighs! Now that's multi-tasking!

Get a great workout

Do calisthenics during the commercial breaks when you are watching TV. The idea is to exercise intensely for the length of the break, as one would do in interval training.

MORE INFORMATION:
Exercises: Jumping jacks, push-ups, squats, lunges, etc.

When lifting weight grab a kid!

Instead of doing boring lunges and squats, I pick up one of my kids and do a weighted squat. They love it and fight to be the one who is my weights! I also do a lot more than I would have done with out the giggling smiling faces coxing me on.
