Workout 2 Arms

Use a table to help you get a killer arm work out.

Do 10 pushups with your arms at table height holding on th the table. Sing "London Bridges" while your child races underneath you as many times as they can. Repeat for three sets.
During rest, face away from the table with your hands on the edge of the table. Lower your body and push up with your arms like an inverted push up. Put your child on your lap for a fun ride. Chant "bouncin' up and down in my little red wagon, bouncin up and down in my little red wagon, bouncin' up and down in my little red wagon, won't you be my darlin!" Repeat three times.

If you have stairs in your house run up and down 10 times for three sets to get a good cardio workout. Have your little one count as you run to see how quickly you can get up and down.
If you don't have stairs, run in place while your child is watching their favorite show. Try to keep up your pace for 15 minutes.
