Great indoor workouts for pregnant mother and your Little coming soon!
Hey all mummies!
Are you all busy cooped up at home but want to be active?
Here are some home workouts you can try with your babies at home to stay ACTIVE!
1.Baby Curl Ups
Curls strengthen your core muscles, which help support your lower back.
Lie face up on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat.
Place your baby in a seated or reclined position on or just above your pubic bone.
Hold him securely under his arms with your fingers wrapped around his torso.
Contract your abs and lift your head, neck and shoulder blades off the floor in 2 counts; lower in 3 counts.
Exhale through your mouth as you curl up, drawing your abs up and in.
Do 15 to 20 reps.
Rest and play, then do 1 more set.
2. Reverse Baby Curl
Lie face up on the floor and bring your knees toward your chest; place your baby on your shins.
Contract your abs to gently tilt your hips up off the floor as you lift your head and shoulders at the same time.
Lower and repeat (this will gently rock your baby forward and back).
Do 15 to 20 reps.
Rest and play, then do 1 more set.
3. Baby Overhead Press
Presses strengthen the upper and middle back, shoulders, triceps and biceps.
Sit cross-legged, holding your baby in front of your chest with your elbows bent.
Straighten your arms upward without locking your elbows.
Pause, then lower your baby to the starting position.
Do 10 reps, rest and play, then do 2 more sets.
4. Baby Bench Press
Lie faceup on the floor with your knees bent. Contract your abs and squeeze your shoulder blades together. Hold your baby securely and bring him close to your chest.
Pause, then lower your baby to the starting position.
Do 10 reps, rest and play, then do 2 more sets.
5. Piles
Place your baby in a front carrier, making sure his head is well supported. Begin with 2 minutes of baby dancing to warm up, then alternate 1 minute of baby pliés with 1 minute of walking lunges (next exercise with baby). Alternate the combination 4 times for 4 minutes.
To cool down, walk for 2 minutes, then take your baby out of the carrier and stretch for 2 minutes.
