Hi Mommas,
I'm wondering if any of you have found a good exercise video to do with baby. My daughter is almost 1 and grabs at my feet when doing exercises I can't really keep her a safe distance anymore and apparently I'm more interesting than her toys when working out!! I'm thinking if I could do something WITH her we could both have fun - I run with a stroller already, so I'm more interested in weight type activities to do in my living room.
Thanks!
Donatabo,
I know you asked for things in your home but have you checked out Baby Boot Camp? It's stroller fitness for parents. www.babybootcamp.com

I don't know about videos, but when my girls were little, I'd lay down on the floor to do sit-ups and would put them sitting on my tummy leaning against my legs - and then as I'd do the sit-up, I'd rub noses with them or kiss them. They loved that game! Also, you can have her lay on the floor and you do push-ups above her. Or if you're really strong, have her lay on your back while you do push-ups! Anything like that where she can interact with you will be fun for her. As she gets more coordinated she can imitate what you're doing.
My friend would do situps while holding her baby on her tummy.
I, personally, find it easier to exercise when my little is taking a nap.
Would she let you do pushups, sit ups, tricep dips from a chair?
i used to do exercise videos that were on comcast cables on demand section in exercise and fit free section. there was a good exercise we would do together was i'd lay on my back knees up almost like a laying down sitting position and lift her that way while holding her hands. or her on my tummy and me doing crunhces eahchtime i came up it was a peek a boo. if this doesnt help try you tube and look up mom and baby exercises. there are alot of good ones to do on there.
