  • Bicep curls while standing on one foot.
  •  Find boy at top of stairs once again.
  • Bounce boy on top of exercise ball as he giggles and giggles and giggles.
  • Take a couple of slow laps chasing the boy around the basement. Sneak up on him and make him fall over he’s laughing so hard.
  • Planks with alternating leg raises. Make faces and maintain stability even when little fingers try to make entry into nose and mouth.
  • Practice some basic step moves on the bottom step providing both cardio and a blockade to little escape artists.
  • Chase boy around the basement while doing walking lunges.
  • Call it good, climb to the top of the stairs, unlock the gate and let an eager boy through. Give the boy a handful of shredded wheat and stretch in the kitchen.

  1. Love it! I’m very impressed that you can jump rope after giving birth…I embarrass myself every time I try! Also, I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it, but I love all that you’ve done with your house!
