Alright, I came up with my workout brand: BabyweightFIT!! What do you guys think?? I’m totally joking, but had fun trying to come up with something. And as always, I had fun working out using my kids as resistance! If you don’t have toddlers at home you can definitely still do this series. Try using dumbbells or sand bags for resistance and you’ll feel all the burn you need without the added wiggles.
As with everything in motherhood, fit in as many rounds as your kid(s) will allow before requiring a referee for shoving each other out of the sandbox. Don’t be afraid to bribe with snacks to avoid altercations. Hopefully you can get through this at least twice!

The Details

do 10 repetitions of each excercise (10 Each side for single sided exercises)

rounds: 2-4

1. Toddler toss: the toddler version of a thruster. Start in a squat, holding toddler under the shoulders. As you stand from the squat, lift the toddler straight over head until your arms are extended. Do the same with a dumbbell but start with them resting on your shoulders.
   

2. Dead weight lunge: toddler sits on one shoulder while the same leg moves forward for a lunge, back knee drops toward the floor, and then return to standing position. Finish the reps on one leg, then switch toddler to the other side and switch moving leg .
   

3. Piggyback Deadlift: use a medium weight child or big old sandbag in piggyback position, stand firmly on one leg and lower your torso to the floor while keeping the non-standing leg in line with your torso. Finish reps on one leg then switch sides.
   

4. Pre-K Weighted Squat: using dumbbells resting on your shoulders or a medium weight child resting horizontally, squat down reaching back with your hips and treturn to upright pressing through your mid to rear foot.

5. Stability Skaters: these are extra challenging with the added weight! Make sure you land softly to avoid over jostling your small person, and stick the landing for added challenge.

6. Alone Time Abs: in your moment of peace you can concentrate on your core. Avoid bulging or sucking in your abs, engage like you are closing elevator doors. Bring toes together and knees out wide, then curl elbows to knees and lower back down. Do 20.
