7 Workouts You Can Do With Your BabyBeing a parent is one of the greatest jobs in the world, but it's also one of the busiest. Which can make it nearly impossible to get a moment for a workout. So why not combine your baby time with your workout time?Here are a few of our favorite workouts you can try at home. 1) Baby overhead pressThe baby overhead press is the perfect parent and baby workout when it comes to strengthening your shoulders, triceps and biceps.Simply sit in a cross-legged position, with your baby held in front of your chest. Remember to keep your elbows nice and bent, then straighten your arms upwards. Avoid locking your elbows and pause for a couple of seconds at the apex. Lower your baby back into the starting position and do 10-15 reps.2) Baby bench pressThe baby bench press is a fantastic way of engaging your core and shoulders.To start off, lie facing up with your knees slightly bent. Hold your baby securely by your chest, then squeeze your shoulders together and push up, just remember not to lock your elbows. Once you've reached the apex, lower your baby slowly. Try doing two sets of 10 reps, with a short break in between each set.3) Walking baby lungesWalking lunges are great for toning up your quads and hamstrings, as well as blasting your buttocks and calves.With your baby nice and secure, start by standing upright. Remember not to lock your knees and focus on a spot in front of you. Take as large a step forward as you can then bend both knees 90 degrees. With your front knee over your ankle, push off from your back heel and bring your feet together again. Try doing this exercise for about two minutes and make sure to really focus on getting your form perfect to get the most out of it. Also make sure that you are properly balanced, you don't want to trip.4) Baby curl upThis exercise is great fun and really helps in strengthening your core and lower back.To start off, lie face-up with your knees bent and your baby held securely over your stomach, with your fingers wrapped nice and tightly over the baby's torso. If possible, try and get your baby into a seated position a little bit above the pubic bone.Contract yourabs and lift the top half of your body (head neck and shoulders) for about 3 seconds, then lower your body for 2 seconds. Try and exhale through the mouth and do about 20 reps. If possible, try and do more than one set.5) Front carrier squatsSquats are one of the best exercises that exist. They engage almost every single muscle group and help in creating a stronger sense of balance.This exercise can be done without a front carrier, but is a little more secure with one. With your legs about a shoulder's-width apart, leading with your tailbone, lower your body down. If you're wondering how low to go, imagine you are lowering yourself into a chair. Keep your weight over your heels and try and do at least 2 sets of 10 reps. To increase the difficulty, try deeper squats.6) Airplane bellyThis exercise is super fun and will have your baby giggling for hours. As the name suggests it's a core workout, but also helps in improving your balance.Start by lying on your stomach with your baby in front of you. Extend your arms out to the side like you're an airplane with your legs a little bit wider than your hips. With your arms, legs and chest as straight as possible, try and keep your balance. Hold the position for about 10 seconds, take a 5 second break and repeat. If you can get anything above 7 reps, you're doing very well.Just because you're now a parent, doesn't mean you can't get in a great workout.
