Can I burn-off calories and my toddlers energy at the same time?

Joseph Coupal - Tuesday, January 24, 2012
Answered by: Heather Hawk

Try acting like a 2-year-old. I’m not suggesting anyone assume the attitude of a toddler but rather act like a 2-year old physically. If you have a toddler like me you know how their engines run full-steam ahead until they crash for nap or bedtime.

We’ve recently had lots of rainy weather, cooler temps, and been stuck indoors. Of course that hasn’t tamed my daughter’s need to burn off her 2-and-a-half year old energy. So I’ve been getting down on her level. We’ve been crawling and rolling all over chasing her little sister. I’ve been running after her around the house playing games and hide n’ seek.

Even though I workout regularly, but I can tell you that keeping up with a toddler’s every move is a workout of a different kind. On the days you’ve missed a workout and want to spend time with your little ones, get down on their level and keep in step with them. I can assure it may not target your “problem areas” directly but it will absolutely count as exercise.
