1. Plank.. 1 kid climbs on and over back while the other army crawls under tummy. The goal is not to touch my tummy ( my son tries to push me up with his head)!
2.squat then stand throwing a laughing kid.. catch and repeat!!
I often weight train with my 4 year old. I bought her some 2lb weights and she’ll do whatever I do. Bicep curls, flies, Tricep dips, air squats and even Burpees. It’s pretty cute. When she was younger I’d baby wear her in my Ergo and take long walks outside or dance around the house. Gotta be creative.
My son is a little older than your kids (he’s 20) but we love running in our neighborhood to this big hill where we do a bunch of hill climbs… he gives me a huge head start and still manages to run right past me! I enjoy every minute with him- makes exercising so much more fun!
My favorite (and sometimes least favorite!) exercise to do with my toddler is SQUATS! I squat and lift her as I rise – and sometimes give her a little “toss” at the top for some extra giggles. We also make sure we do silly dances while cleaning up to squeeze in a little extra exercise!
My fav mini WOD to do with kids I babysit is jump rope, burpees and pushups:)
My daughter, Piper, is 9 months old. I really ‘use’ her on arm and legs. Holding her mid torso,l lift above my head, while in squat position, as many reps as I can stand without feeling like I’m going to drop her ;). Then I put her on the floor between my legs, face up, and do squats above her… she totally thinks we are just playing and I’m BURNING! Love it!
I am a teacher. That being said I love to get my kids active before and during teaching. Brain breaks are key for a ready to learn brain. Plus they get your heart pumping. I also love it because I get in a brain break for myself so I know I am doing the best teaching that I can! The website I posted above is one of my favorites but there are tons of ideas out there! Learning readiness!
In our house we love to turn up the radio and dance! It is great exercise while having a blast with the kids and we get to see how the individually move and what music motivates them! 🙂
My 18 month old son, Oliver, and I love to walk about a half mile to the park and play then head back. It’s great for both of us, but even more, he’s a water baby and we love to swim.
Favorite of kids is to have “races”. We line up and i hold the hands of one of them and pick them up so their feet are skimming the ground and we “race” back and forth in the living room or backyard. I do this with each kid 2 or three times.
