Exercise With Your Baby - Suggestion 3: Curls

What better way to tone your biceps than 'baby curls'. As you tend to pick your baby up several times each day, my suggestion is the following:

1) Place your hands under your baby's arms. Preferably under the armpits to get the best grip and balance.

2) Stand up straight as you lift your baby up of the ground.

3) Extend / Lower your arms so that they come down below your waist. Hold for 3 seconds.

4) Raise your arms up to a 90 degree angle at your elbows. Hold for 3 seconds.

5) Repeat for 10 reps. Relax for 60 seconds then repeat. Complete at least 3 sets.

As your baby grows older, his/her weight will definitely increase. So, while continuing your 'baby curls', you'll also be increasing your muscle as they get trained to lift more weight!
