Being a mom myself, I know how difficult
it can be to commit to keeping active and healthy, especially
if you have little ones. So I’ve put together a list
of things you can do to keep moving throughout your day,
without taking any real “extra” time out of
your regular schedule to do it! You will be surprised how
easy it can be. Here are a few things you can do even with
the little one(s) at home with you....just think how many
extra calories you can burn so simply!
- Whenever you are counting, reciting
the alphabet, or singing to your little one in the high
chair, do some wide and narrow legged squats to the tune!
They think it’s pretty funny! Jumping jacks work
well too!
- Do walking lunges instead of just
walking when going from one room to another. (Your knee
should never extend beyond a 90 deg angle).
- If you are busy in the kitchen, take
a couple cans of food and work your biceps, shoulders
and waistline by doing simple bicep curls, shoulder press
and then drop side to side bringing your arm to your knee
(from the side) to work the waist – back and forth
like a pendulum.
- Waiting for a bottle to warm up in
the microwave for 1 min? Take that minute to hold a squat
against a wall (start with 30 sec and continue to work
your way up to 1 min)
- Sitting down burping the baby, or
checking emails can be a great time to sit nice and erect
and squeeze & release those gluts for 3 sets of 20!
- Taking your little one out in the
stroller? Get on those running shoes and push yourself
to do a brisk walk (or 30 sec run if you have a running
stroller) every couple of minutes –you can also
purchase ankle weights or a walking “toning”
running shoe.
- While your little one is having carpet
time, get on the carpet with them and hold yourself in
the plank position for 1 min to work your core! Start
with 30 sec and work your way up to 1 and even 2 minutes!
(Remember to keep that bum down and make sure your spine
is as straight as possible while you hold this pose).
- Drink a large glass of water
as soon as you wake up, and before every snack or meal
throughout the day.
We hope these quick and easy tips keep your little ones
smiling and you moving! Have fun, and “BE CREATIVE”!
