Exercise and a 2 Year Old

With Spring around the corner that means swim suits, beaches, shorts, and cute dresses.  I have to admit, when I was working as an office coordinator, my mobility was limited to walking from my desk to the bathroom and to my car.  I started following an extensive lower body workout that included the following:

                                                                    Aerobic Exercise Kids Mother and her kids exercise
Squats - 3 sets of 25
Sumo Squats - 3 sets of 18
Holding Sumo Squat - so far I am up to a minute
Back Leg Kicks - 5 sets of 15
Laying Side Kicks - 3 sets of 10
Scissor Kicks - 1 minute so far

I was fortunate enough to have the "help" of my two year old this evening...trying to sit on my legs during my side kicks, laying on the floor between my legs during Sumo squats and kicking me in the shins, and of course bouncing on my stomach during scissor kicks...

I have learned that the extra weight is appreciated in resistance training, but my goodness, I think he had more fun than I did... despite my "ouching", "stops",and bladder leaks during his trampolining experience on my bladder.

I think I shall do these in the morning from now on...in my closet...with the door locked.

Here's to exercising and two year olds!
