Morning Workout
- Put laptop on top of television, turn on music, and take a couple laps around the basement.
- Take phone from boy and cancel call. Put phone on top of television.
- Step-ups with overhead press – pause in middle to chase the boy down, pull him out of the “technology room” before he gets to the wireless router, and pull door shut TIGHT.
- Take a few more laps around the basement and haul a whining boy away from banging on the shut door.
- Jab, cross-jab, repeat. In between sides, fetch the boy that has climbed to the top of the stairs and is now rattling the security gate.
- Jump rope and make boy collapse in giggles. (Who knew I looked that funny jumping rope?)
- 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.
- Find boy rattling gate at top of stairs begging to be taken back down.
- Continue workout till 8pm when little boy falls asleep.

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!
Whew! I’m exhausted just reading about it.
haha, sorry i shouldn’t laugh…but that is quite the workout!
