It sounds simple enough. We've all seen pictures online of a toned mom in a sports bra and booty shorts doing pushups and downward dogs with her baby. It's picture perfect, and in my case, too good to be true.
My husband has a whacky work schedule. Most nights it's just my little cutie and I doing our thing. We make it work. Well, working out is important to me, so it's getting done one way or another. Let's keep in mind that my "baby" is 18 months old. She runs around, makes messes, and climbs on everything.
Here's how it goes every time. I grab my yoga mat. She gets all giddy and helps me roll it out in the living room. I turn on a yoga video on YouTube. Then we begin...
Can you imagine having a 22-pound child on your belly while doing bridges, crunches, and a bunch of things I've never heard of? I call it "Expert Level Yoga." Her climbing on me adds much more resistance! It really does help me get a better workout at least.
Then there's the playing. She found a little car to drive on me while I did stretches. Downward dog makes the greatest tunnel ever for hiding. Then, upon doing some twisting stretches, I was greatest by a kiss turned into a bite on the face. She got in trouble, so she started to give me kisses, each ended with a puppy lick.
Ah! I must admit, I wouldn't change it for the world. She's freaking hilarious!
