Mommy and Baby Workout { Part 3 }

by Brooke Griffin

Lunge with a Twist: Slip your baby back into his or her carrier (facing you or facing away from you) and lunge forward at a 90- degree angle. Twist to one side slightly, and then reverse the twist. Complete 2 sets of 20 per leg. For more instructions on how to do this move correctly, click here.

Baby One Leg Hip Thrusts: To keep the bootie tight (and your baby happily bouncing), rest the baby on your hips facing away from you and one leg at a time, lift and lower. This is one of Brooke’s favorite moves for the butt, and she loves the fact that it works the hamstrings as well! Complete 1 set of 30 per leg.

Bicep Curls: Hold baby under his or her arms (be sure you have a secure grip) and curl them up to your face for a big kiss! Complete 2 sets of 20. For more instructions on how to do this move correctly, click here.

Standing Twister: Hold your baby in front of you about 5” away from your body and begin to twist. Remember to hold the twist for 3 seconds on each side and 3 seconds in the middle. Repeat 19 times for a total of 20. For more instructions on how to do this move correctly, click here.

Tricep Dips: Get your arms whipped into shape in no time flat with this move! With baby in his/ or her carrier facing you or facing away from you, place hands on a secure chair or couch and dip down and back up. Complete 30 -45 reps.

Tush Tightener: To give that bootie some pop while entertaining your baby, sit him or her in front of you (now is a great time to make silly faces), and with legs together, begin to lift! This is another go-to move for Brooke. She loves the simplicity of it and the burn! Complete 30 reps and you’re ready roll and get on with your day. For more instructions on how to do this move correctly, click here.

Remember, it’s the #EveryDayMoments that make life worth living, so never feel like you have to sacrifice one priority for another. With a little creativity, you can find more effective ways to take care of yourself and your family.

Disclaimer: Remember to check with your doctor first to confirm that you and your baby are both healthy enough for this workout. Also, ensure that your baby is strapped in and positioned safely without discomfort.
