We play the olympic games. We especially love doing it at the airport when layovers are inevitable. I always keep a bouncy ball handy in my purse. We use different objects from where we are: a water bottle, grocery aisles, chairs, etc. We take turns coming up with the event and keep score. It is a blast and stares are standard, but its fun for the kids and that’s what matters. Our favorite game is with Daddy’s hat and the bouncy ball, try to bounce it into the hat, etc. You get the picture.
Hi!I’m not a new mom but I am the grandma of a 9 month old who I take care of and as you both know that’s a challenge. He’s at the point where he’s walking and I’m constantly having to chase him down and keeping up with him is guide a workout. He is the love of my life and I am very pleased to be able to do this for my daughter and husband. I am the most unselfish person you’d ever meet. I always think of others before myself. Yes, I’m not in the best shape but I know I need to be. I don’t buy me good shoes because I can’t afford them. I’m on a fixed income and I always opt out for the $5 pair which I know they don’t give me the support I need. But thats how life is. I would love to be chosen to win the shoe’s because I really need them. Thank you for your time.
This last weekend we tried this for the first time and had a blast! With a deck of cards, together we do a different workout to each card. Each person takes a turn selecting a card and picking the workout. You do the face value of reps (or seconds); J, Q, K are 15 and Ace’s are 20.
we love to bike. i put my 1 yr old in the chariot behind the bike and my 2 yr old in a child carrier between me and the handle bars 🙂 and my newest baby tucked safely in my belly 🙂 also if you are into biking with your kids attached to your bike we LOVE our double wee-hoo (google it they are awesome)
My favorite exercise with my kids is having a full blown dance off party in our living room.The kids absolutely love it !!
I have two little girls and we do challenges at the park…getting all the way across the monkey bars (which my 5 year old is great at!), who can get the most hoops in basket ball, sprinting races, climbing the rock wall…they seem to take on challenges well 🙂 We do have a lot of indoor Dance parties too! Especially when the weather is not right for a “park day.”
I love doing squats! My daughter, Skylar is only 1, however, when she sees me doing squats she joins right in. She ends up dancing on her own to no music at all, but its adorable!!!
I’ve used my friends kids as a weighted squat and overhead press. Full body move, legs core and arms.
Squat with the little one, pick them up as you stand and press them overhead (or half overhead if you don’t feel safe). It’s SUCH a killer move and the kids laugh the whole time so it takes your mind off of the burning legs and arms 🙂
Dance party! Put some tunes on and just dance. I try to do Zumba moves with them and they do some. Or yoga! They love doing 3 legged dog!
We love when spring/summer comes…we are always at the park…getting better at baseball…I was happy when I noticed my kids loved baseball…makes it easier for ALL 5 of us to get out and get moving.
