Baby Circuit Training
Try a 'baby circuit' with your baby in a baby carrier or baby sling.

• Add several sets of squats, dips, lunges, step-ups, or step-downs holding your child as resistance
• With your baby lying on the floor, get on your hands and knees and do partial range pushups lowering down to kiss your baby on the nose.
• Do reverse corner pushups for the middle back while you have your child in a baby sling or carrier.
• If your baby can hold his head up, lie on your back and hold your child in the air over your chest (as an airplane) and press your child up as you lift your torso off the floor to strengthen the abdominals.
• With your baby on your lap or in a baby carrier, do triceps dips off the couch or a sturdy chair.
• Walk on the treadmill or elliptical trainer (if you happen to have one at home) with your child napping in his sling or carrier.
