Exercises for Mommy/Daddy & Baby

Push-up with a Kiss
Place your baby on a blanket and position your hands on either side directly beneath your shoulders. Push yourself up on your toes or if your more comfortable start out on your knees. Be sure your body is in a straight line which ever position you should chose. Engage your abs and flex your elbow kiss your baby lower your body so that you can give your baby a kiss and then push yourself back to starting position.

Leg Extension with a Crunch
Lie on your back and bring your knees to your chest. Position your baby on your shins and hold onto his/her torso or hands. Lift your legs until your shins are parallel to the ground, Draw your knees back toward your chest and lift your head up toward your baby's face. Be sure to keep your abs engaged throughout.

When you involve your child/children in your excercise routine they will enjoy the quality time together. They may even be your motivation to keep up with your exercise because they most likely will ask you each day to do excercise again.
Your exercise is thier playtime, and it sets a great example for them to begin a healthy lifestyle!
