Three In-Home Exercises You Can Do With a Little One

With five children, I haven't been able to reliably get to the gym since I left the Navy years ago, so I've had to be pretty inventive with how I get my exercise in. With this thought in mind, I have tried my hand at making a video highlighting three of my go-to exercises to do with the help of my youngest children. I hope these are helpful to you!

The video is my first of this kind and pretty rough, so please excuse the jumpiness (the 13-yo and 8 yo were my primary videographers!) and sound quality. I'll get better as we go along, so stick with me!

Strength Training with an Infant

Last weekend, I got outside and worked muscles that (apparently) haven't been used in a while. I thought I use those muscles every day, but given how sore I am three days later, I see I was wrong! How can you go through day-to-day activities without using your thighs and calves?! Clearly a round of strength training is in order.

Yard work with the Boy Scouts. 

The tree lot after we were done - the boys put the shelter up as well.
