For the last few weeks I have been doing a Baby Boot camp workout class at our local gym. Basically you wear your little while working out. We LOVE it. Although with Addison being 21.5lbs it is a lot of work. We also do a few things without them on. I though I would share some of the things we do. So strap on your carrier! This is the one I use for the class.
-We start by taking a few laps around the track.
-Butt kicks and knee ups for warming up
-Jumping jacks
-Lunges
-Squats
-Pelvic Tilts
- Different dumbell lifts
- Wall Sits
- Push ups and rowing on TRX bands
(otherwise take baby off for pushups)
Those are just a few of the exercises we do. Most things can be done at home. We do more but I don't really know how to describe how to do them. Working out with your baby is a fun way to involve them and to fit in that workout when they only want to be held. Plus baby wearing has many benefits for both mom and baby. Also don't forget to stretch!
Warning: If you just recently had you baby, please remember that you still have high levels of the hormone relaxin in your system. This hormone relaxes your muscle and joints in the body and make them stretch more. If you are new to working out take it slow as not to pull a muscle.
Warning: If you are less than 6 weeks postpartum, please consult your doctor.
