Lunge and squat with your kids for added fitness. No excuses!

by workoutmommy on January 10, 2010

It won’t get me in marathon shape, but every little bit counts gang!
Here is a clip of me lunging with my boys, thanks to my ERGO baby carrier.

How do you workout WITH your kids?

Never underestimate the power of a workout!

P.S. ERGOs are the best, aren’t they? How do you like that infant insert, by the way? I didn’t get my ERGO until my baby was 6-months-old so I never used the insert…

Kayla January 17, 2010 at 6:28 pm: I am very inspired by this! Even though my daughter is in that in between stage of the carrier and being able to do the exercises with me I know this will help once we have a baby #2. I had a very difficult time adjusting once my first was born so I am very anxious to try this out next time! Thanks!
