ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted April 20, 2012 what kind of exercise can you do w my son who is 2yrs old. Its difficult when u have to b running after them giggles When my grandson was 2 yrs old (2 yrs ago) my daughter had to run after him all the time. He was into everything as 2 year olds are. She was so happy because she lost a lot of weight doing all this running around. she also had a 4 yr old and a 7 yr old. btw - these are the most beautiful and smartest grand-kids in the entire world all the work you do as a parent, running around et al, helped her lose alot of weight., was great for her figure. you are doing great by walking around so much now. ask your dr. when you can do more excersize, weights etc. - all dr. say different things. Just be patient when he tells you to go, have fun best wishes kathy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stirling2002 2 Posted April 20, 2012 I have a similar fear due to having a 5 year old. We have a gym where I live but no daycare. They even brought Zumba and Yoga to our complex but still no daycare. It's frustrating, I know. I'm planning to rent arm and leg workout videos from Netflix so I can do that stuff at home. With summer coming, I plan to get out walking with my daughter riding her bike or walking with me. Good Luck. Any suggestions are welcomed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rodswife 155 Posted April 25, 2012 Put your child in a stroller and walk or put some music on and dance. What 2 year old doesn't like to act crazy and dance. That's all Zumba is. Plus it will tire him out and then you can both take naps. Lol my little ones love music and dancing around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kczar 166 Posted April 25, 2012 If you have cable, they usually have different workout programs available on demand. They will rotate but there's usually at least one cardio workout, fat burning, toning and yoga program available. Your kiddo(s) can do it with you! You'll get toned and they will learn healthy exercise habits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
