After yesterday’s “situation” at the gym, E and I came home and we went on a short run (long enough to keep my #RWRunStreak alive) and then played and played and played. What I realized as I was playing is that a lot of what I do with E is in one way or another strength training. So I had this really great idea where I’d do an instructional vlog of all the great exercises you can do with your toddler. So after about…oh I don’t know..12 takes, I got something that resembled a vlog worth sharing so I thought I would.
Basically, let me leave you with this. You can turn any situation into an opportunity to get fit. You don’t have to go to a class, or the gym or even a structured run. As parents, we learn to adapt and the point in this vlog is to show you that rolling around with your kids can be just as energizing or calorie burning as that gym session.
Hahaha I love the outtakes. E seems just my little guy. Too cute! I’ve also never though of how much ‘strength training’ I do a day by just toting him around. Awesome videos. 🙂
The way I think about it everytime I pick up E (27lbs), it’s like picking up a weight!
my faaaaaaaave part of bloggers vlogs are always the outtakes

There are more where that came from! Wait till you see the other vlog I attempted to record. Tons of outtakes.
Love love love! I’m going to try these today with my little guy. I just gotta say, I was cracking up at the outtakes! I love how you just give up at the end and blow the whistle 🙂
Thanks! I was over it at one point. I should’ve recorded this exactly when we actually do it at home (right when I get home from work) and before the gym.
