It’s Monday gang, which means it is time for another round of move it Monday! Let’s shake off that weekend and get a fresh and active start on our week.
It’s back to one of my favorites, wall squats. The twist? Add a toddler! Watch the video clip below and be amazed as this super fit mommy does not even flinch. (this is not my video, I found this fit mommy via YouTube)
Your challenge is to stay strong on the wall for at least 30 seconds (without dropping your toddler, of course!) Repeat 4-6 times over the course of the day for a great leg workout.
Don’t have a toddler at home? Try and add some other heavy weight, either a dumbbell, weighted ball, or maybe your dog?
Whatever works and gets the job done.
No excuses gang, get moving and enjoy your energy!

I giggle that I have SOOO MANY videos I cant use because my TORNADO wanders in.
Im all about her anonymity (*sigh*)
the things we do for our kids
as those MOnday Facetimes are FAR more humorous.

That’s awesome. My kids would probably tickle me or pick my nose or something…

I love toddler strength training! It’s not enough that I’m carrying them around all day but then they have to jump on me every time I get low enough to the ground. The next video should be the 100-yard dash - with a toddler clutching your legs. Better than a sack race!
Thanks for the motivation, Lisa!

ya think this would be possible with triplets? My nieces would be more than happy to workout with auntie Steph. I think my thighs would collapse, but it would be fun…lol…

Cute video! The trick is to have a toddler that will actually sit still, I guess:) …or maybe it can contribute to helping improve your balance if you’ve got a squirmy kid?
Squats make me feel so happy when I’ve done them because you can just FEEL the burn.

I don’t know what’s more impressive…that she can squat with the kid on her lap for that long or that the kid stays sitting for that long! I know neither of mine never would!

That was great. Last time I did wall squats my kid said, “Mom, just go find a chair or something” lol

Stephanie: triplets? wow–you should definitely try it out!
sagan: yes, squirmy kid means extra balance bonus for you!
slacker: I know, my son would not sit still long enough for me to even try. (and screamed HELP as well!)
mommie-that is cute, but mommie doesn’t need a chair when she has powerful legs!
