My kids have never been snuggle monsters.
Before motherhood, I dreamed that my someday babies would cuddle up on my chest, or always wrap their small arms around my neck. We’d nap together with them nestled into my side like our dog does at night. Well, kids aren’t dogs and boys are engaged – that’s just my conclusion. Although my moment is a small more snuggly than my first, we still haven’t had those hours of calm mornings or aftermiddays just being close and lovey. I’m certain they’re just waiting to that when they’re ancienter, right? HA!
Even though my babies don’t always love being nestled right next to mommy, they did/do love being hauled in the baby carrier, tall enough to see the world and turn their head 459,342 times to every sound or site that catches their attention. Which means my face has been smacked by swiveling baby noggins just a time or two.
So when the babe is feeling frustrated/teeleang/cranky/or just wants to be held, and momma is frustrated that she hasn’t had time to do anyleang (specificly working out), this total body babywearing workout is the perfect solution.
Tone your lower half and build muscle using your own body weight, plus baby! And work your shoulders and upper body with some creative ways, all with baby in tow. This babywearing workout can be executed using any type of carrier (link to mine HERE), weight(s) optional.
Low Lunge Forward Taps
Start with your left leg in front, right behind, then bend both legs so your knees form a 90 degree angle (making certain you right knee is directly in line with your right ankle). Next, extend your legs, then sink back down into the 90 degree lunge position. Staying low, tap your right toe to meet your left foot, keeping all the weight distributed on your left leg. Return back to the lunge position and repeat 12 times. Then switch legs and do 12 additional repetitions.
Squat to Releve
Stand and place your feet slightly wider that shoulder-width apart, toes facing forward. Bend your knees to execute a low squat, chest lwhetherted, booty urgent back, and making certain your knees aren’t extended past your toes. Next, straighten your your knees and lwhethert your heels off the ground as you come to standing. Return your heels back to the ground and execute the squat again. Do 12-15 repetitions.
Forward Lunge Overhead Press
Grab one heavy weight and hancient it in front of your chest (behind baby’s head). Step your right foot in front to execute a lunge (both knees bent at 90 degree angles), then lwhethert the weight overhead as you lwhethert your left knee to the front and up towards baby. Put your left foot on the ground as you bring the weight back to your chest and repeat, this time lwhetherting the right knee. Do 12 total lunge/overhead presses.
Crab Strolls
Sit on the ground and place your palms directly under your shoulders, feet planted. Lwhethert your hips off the ground and begin a backwards crab walk – bringing your left foot in towards your body as you place your left arm out towards the back, then switch to right foot in, right arm back. Time this for 20-30 moments.
Tricep Dips
Stay on the ground in the same position as the crab walks, but make certain your feet and palms are parallel. Lwhethert you hips off the ground with your hands directly under your shoulders. Next, bend your elbows and press towards the back as you execute a tricep dip. Extend your elbows and continue the tricep dips, for 12 repetitions.
Standing Oblique Crunches
Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, and extend your right arm overhead, leaning slightly to left with your right leg extended and toe grazing the ground. Next, lean in to the right side as you bring your right elbow in towards your right side, and lwhethert your right knee up (hips open). Return back to the original position and do 12 repetitions. Then switch sides and repeat 12 more times.
Congrats! You’ve finished round one! Repeat this entire sequence 3-4 more more times (or until baby says he/she is done).
Working out while mommying doesn’t have to be dwhetherficult or complicated! Hold it simple and try a few other workouts specwhetherically designed for moms!
