Mommy and Me Chest and Tris!!

Who's ready to do some chest and tris with your sweet little baby!? These ones are a little bit more difficult to do with a mobile child, but I have still been able to do it. I have discovered that keeping bubble gum ( the kid you can blow big bubbles with) in your mouth and blow bubble while you are doing some of the workouts to keep them entertained. It really works I promise!

 

Push-up over baby

• When down on the ground, set your hands at a distance that is slightly wider than shoulder with apart.
• Your feet should be set up in a way that feels right and comfortable to you.
• Your head should be looking slightly ahead of you, not straight down.
• At the top of your push up, your arms should be straight and supporting your weight.

 

Baby Press

• Lay flat on your back
• Balance baby with both arms, hands on baby's chest and hips
• Push baby straight up away from your chest

 

Incline push up over baby

• Stand facing the bench, table, or the edge of a bed
• Place your hands on the edge of the bench just slightly wider than shoulder width.
• Realign your feet so that your arms and body are completely straight. 



Shoulders!!!

I have a love hate relationship with shoulders! They hurt so good! I definitely need to build up my muscles in my shoulders and MAYBE I wont have a love hate relationship with them ;)  Here are some of my favorite shoulder workouts.....

Military Press (smiths machine) 3x10
Barbell shrugs 3x10

SUPERSET
Upright dumbbell rows 3x10
Standing dumbbell military press 3x10

Rear delt raise 3x10
Lateral raise 3x10

Lateral raises are by far my favorite! They kick your butt!! Remember form is very important with weights so make sure you are watching your form:)

Mommy and Me leg day!

I get these sentences A LOT from other moms, "How do you workout with 2 kids?" "How do you have time?" My response for the most part is YOU JUST DO IT, FIND A WAY AND MAKE TIME! It's possible Mommies, I promise! Whether it be you find a sitter for and hour, put those kiddos to bed and pop in a workout dvd OR you workout with your kids. They will love the quality time and you get a good workout playing with them. Sounds like a win win to me! HERE WE GO LEG DAY!!

1 banana
1 scoop vanilla protein
