Here are a couple really great exercises you can do at home with your baby!!! Read below for some great tips!!!
1. Baby Press-Ups
Muscles Targeted: Chest, Triceps, Biceps, Abdominals
Reps: 12-15
Sets: 2 (Progress to 3 once you are stronger)
A. Lying on your back with your legs hip width apart and knees bent, toes pointed forward and feet on floor. Hold your baby under the arms with your elbows bent at each side of your body and inhale.
B. As you lift your baby above your head, extend your arms, exhale during the movement and be sure to keep those abs tight as you lift your little one.
C. Inhale and lower baby towards your chest and give them a little kiss and repeat movement 12-15 times. Complete 2 sets.
A great exercise to do as your baby grows so you can slowly advance in skill together. While your baby learns to smile, giggle, talk and so forth she/he becomes heavier and moreof challenge for you to lift. A great one to start off from the beginning so you can slowly make those arms stronger and more defined.
2. Baby Chair Abs
Muscles Targeted: Abdominals and Quads
Reps: 12-15
Sets: 2 (Progress to 3 once you are stronger)
A. Lie on your back, place your knees directly over your hips with them bent at a 90-degree angle. Your shins parallel to the floor. Place baby/tot on your shins and hold underneath the arms. Make faces at your little one as you continue breathing and squeeze your lower abs, navel to spine.
B. As you inhale, slightly extend your legs away from the centre of your body, exhale and bring knees and baby back. Repeat movement slowly 10-12 times twice, completing 2 sets.
So Mothers Day is soon approaching and I’ve decided to look back on being a mom! It’s funny because only now am I starting to understand my own mother on a whole new level. The things that I said I would never do when I had my own kids or couldn’t ever understand why she did them; I’m only now realizing I agree with her and can relate.
Mothers Day is a time to reflect and be proud of the woman you are and the beautiful babies you are/have raised. It’s a day to reflect as a daughter/son/husband also to appreciate the woman in our lives who we call “Mom.” A word that I think should really be called…Saint, Mother of ALL, Queen, Don’t argue with me I’m always right…you get the idea. Anyways make sure every Mom gets an hour to herself this week to enjoy her own thoughts for once and to have a little much needed Mom time.
