Working out with toddler

Anyone know of any workout DVDs that are created for mom's with toddlers? I need to tone up for bathing suit season and have absolutely no time to work out, so I was hoping to incorporate K. I'm looking for a video that includes things to do with your toddler, like squats while lifting him and such. I did squats with K last night and he squealed and giggled the whole time so that gave me the brilliant (and obvious) idea to look for some workouts.

Any recommendations? Anyone done any with their LO?

Re: Working out with toddler

  • I hope you find one because this sounds like something I'd be very interested in.
    I have found like 3 on Amazon, but most have mixed reviews about not being much of a workout at all. The rest are all pilates/yoga and I hate those. I really want something that will work me out. I'll tell you what, I was dying after about 10 rounds of those squats and I am sore today! I will definitely be doing more of those!

    I just throw mine into my regular workouts lol, if it calls for weights I pick up my 23lb weight and use him instead :).

    My SIL does the Can You 24 Level 1 (advocare) and her son LOVES to do it with her (granted he is 4). It doesnt involve actually using your child though lol.


    Mine is a 31 pound weight! Geez! Haha. :)

  • I do the aforementioned Can You 24 and give Bryson "weights" of his own and teach him the stretches.  Either that or I do it during his snack/meal time so I can bring his chair into the room and he's contained.  He tends to "mmmm" the whole time and make me just want to eat though.  ha
