OutMat Excercises: Lower Body

Here are some helpful tips from experts at Mommy Moves Fitness, located in the Tri-State area. Visit them at www.mommy-moves.com.

Crunches with Baby:
Lie on your back with your knees bent. Sit baby on your pelvis and allow him to lean back against your legs. Contracting your abdominal muscles, lift your head and shoulders off the mat just a few inches. Smile and make a funny face each time you crunch; this will be sure to garner some giggles. Repeat 10 times. This will help tighten and tone those post-partum tummy muscles!

Baby Squats:
Standing up with feet a little more than hip-distance apart, hold your baby in your arms facing out. Bend your knees and push your butt back until your legs are in a 90 degree angle (CAREFUL: Don't let your knees go past your toes- make sure you can see your shoelaces at all times!). Pause at the bottom and then come back up. Repeat 10 times. A great way to get ready for swimsuit season!
