Repeat this routine every other day for a month and you will see great
results. As with any exercise consult a physician first and make sure to stop
immediately if you feel any abnormal pain or discomfort.
The Stroller workout is perfectly designed to do with other new mothers but
can be done alone as well.
Power Walk
Start with a 10 minute power walk keeping your head and chest up while
holding your stomach tight and of course keeping a firm grip on the stroller.
You are working hard enough if you start to breath a little heavy and you
perspire.
Lunges
Movement:
Starting with your right leg step forward. Drop your butt
straight down until your right leg is at a 90-degree angle.
Lift your butt back up to a standing position. You can
do this while walking or in a standing position.
Repetitions:
Do 15 to 20 reps, switch legs and repeat. Do two sets on each leg.
Squats
Movement:
From a standing position lower your rear to a 90-degree
angle like you are sitting in a chair. Keep your hands
clasped on the stroller. Hold for one half second and
go back to a standing position. Keep your hands on the
stroller for support only. Do not use it to assist you.
Repetitions:
Three sets of 20. Shake out your legs for a minute break in between sets.
Tricep dips
Movement: Find a bench or a wall. Walk your legs out in front of you till you are at an
angle. Put your hands behind you and lower yourself down towards the ground
then raise yourself back up. You should feel this in the back of your arms.
Repetitions:
Two sets of 20. Shake out your legs for a minute break in between sets.
Bicep Curl
Movement:
Use a band (you can pick it up at a store that sells fitness
equipment) Hold it under your feet and curl up with your
arms. Be sure to keep tension on the band at all times.
Keep your back straight.
Repetitions:
Do three sets of ten reps
Repeat the lunges and squats (See above)
Then finish with a 10- 15 minute power walk. You should
burn a total of 500 calories and your baby should enjoy
it!
