Posture, posture!
Before we begin your workout, let’s talk posture. The
main downside we nd with most carriers is that
they can wreak havoc on your posture. New moms
already suer from posture problems aggravated by
feeding, picking up baby, car seats and more. The best
way to use a baby carrier is to focus on stretching the
chest area and strengthening the upper back. When
wearing the carrier, regularly contract your shoulder
blades, bringing them together as if you were
squeezing a pencil. Keep shoulders down and back,
and neck long and relaxed.
Plie Squat
A plie squat is a gym favorite for shaping thighs
and lifting derrieres. This exercise works the quads,
hamstrings, inner thighs and glutes. Baby will love the
light bounce and your bottom will love the workout.
1. Stand with feet wide, toes turned out.
2. Pull abdominal muscles in at.
3. Slowly lower down until your thighs are
near parallel to the oor, keeping knees
and toes aligned.
4. Slowly squeeze thighs and glutes until you’re
back to start position.
5. Repeat for 1 to 3 sets of 12-16 repetitions, with
a 20-30 second rest between sets.
6. To add intensity, hold your squat in the lowered
position and do some controlled pulses.
3 toning moves to do with baby
exercises
Babies love the motion
and closeness; parents
love the comfort and
convenience! Even
better, the Moby Wrap
can also be a part
of great workout.
Baby's weight is
evenly distributed
while adding a
functional 'weight'
to your exercises!
What else can you do
with a Moby Wrap carrier?
Although not appropriate for running or even power
walking (because baby needs to be kept stable), a
slow walk can become a workout with baby in tow.
You can also add exercise tubing to your workout
and do bicep curls, lateral raises and other exercises
where you are standing and upright. As long as
baby’s head is supported and you can maintain good
posture, you’re set to get t!
Moby Wrap baby carriers can be
used for babies up to 35 lbs
Since newborns lack sucient head and neck
control, be sure to provide proper support until they
have developed adequate control. A Moby Wrap is
easier on your body (than holding baby), because it
distributes your baby's weight evenly.
