Although I could write about how even having a toddler is a workout in itself, today I’m going to tell you about my toddler’s workout. After our morning walk I decided to try to get in a short weight workout since she seems to like our garage a whole lot lately. Why, I don’t know. But it is what it is so I thought I’d make the best of it.

While I bicep curled, shoulder pressed and chest pressed, Tater Tot carried shoes from the storage shelves to the washing machine and back. Lunges for me meant Baby Squats for her, bending up and down and grinning at her Mommy. During my situps, she carried bottles of water from the storage shelves to the other side of the garage (or anywhere inbetween). And Pushup Time for me was Push The Stroller Time for her. The whole while she chanted “Dun, Geh, Muh” and other such sounds mimicking my counting of reps. Other random exercises that she threw in there included Pound the Washing Machine, Throw The Shoes, and Walk As Fast As You Can To The Places In The Garage The Mommy Doesn’t Want You To Go. For the most part, though, she was enthralled with The Workout and watching Mommy workout so that was a bonus for both of us! I’m gonna do that more often.
