Workout Tips to Achieve a Smokin’ Hot Body
- Install car seats into the car.
- Put a screaming toddler into a carseat. They usually arch their back making it especially difficult to buckle them, so involves some good upper body strength (potentially leg strength depending on how creative you are) to hold the toddler into the carseat for the duration it takes to buckle them. Multiple repetitions for multiple children.
- Repeat number 2 with high chair. Usually involves a bicep workout as you pick up the highchair and move to multiple spots per the toddler’s request (e.g. by mommy, no by mimi, no by papa, etc) until your biceps tire (because you likely won’t make the fussy toddler happy).
- Fold/unfold a stroller. And then try to put it back in the trunk. (Make sure you drink plenty of water for this one.) Full upper body workout. (Also tests your patience.)
- Leave the pool. Includes getting the exhausted, tantrum-throwing child out, changing them out of their wet swimsuit/swim diaper, into dry clothes, and then repeating workout number 2. Higher intensity workout for multiple children due to repetition.
- Squats: Sit on the couch. You will immediately be called to get back up. The more determined you are to sit, the higher the intensity of the workout due to repetition.
- Another option for squats: Let them get all of their toys out (this is your rest period). This is a high repetition squat workout as you pick them all back up.
- Change a 1 year old’s diaper. This includes a high-sweat, cardio workout, but also involves upper body strength as you hold the toddler while they continuously attempt to flip. To step it up a notch, make sure they have pooped. The intensity is raised due to attempting to not get poop anywhere as they are flipping and you are holding (all while wiping and putting a diaper on).
- Change their clothes. The intensity varies based on your creativity as they are ripping the clothes off.
- A good upper body endurance workout is when they are sick. At all times you carry a toddler on your hip (you cannot sit down per the sick toddler). This workout especially burns if you have multiple toddlers (you cannot switch hips due to attempting to hold multiple children). All upper body muscles are engaged. When you tire, they have no mercy. Workout continues the duration of the illness.
- Attempt a group picture of babies/toddlers. This includes sprints and squats. You sprint as fast as you can to the one escaping child, put them back, and then squat to take the picture. Then immediately repeat with the next escaping child. Repeat until you are too tired (because you will never get the picture).
- Take them near water. The adrenaline alone really gets your metabolism going.
