Bond With Your Child With These Mom-Kid Duo Exercises.

Working out alone can be pretty boring, right?

Why not invite your child to workout together?

Having a workout partner doubles the fun you have, and it motivates you to get better results. 

You will not only have a workout buddy who spots you, but also, its a chance for you to introduce more activity in both of your lives!

So, set a period of time weekly (we recommend twice every week!) where you both can do these exercises for a good sweat & bonding session:

The warm up

To start your workout right, make sure you warm up. You can make it fun for you and your child by blasting some tunes and dancing for 10 minutes. The cardio will get the heart pumping and the blood flowing.

(Another sweet way to bond with your child, over music: Work together to create a workout playlist with a mix of your fave pump-up songs.)

Exercises to improve posture

Bungee shoulder press (For Mom)

• Step on an exercise band with your right foot, holding the other end in your right arm.

Reverse fly (For Child)

• Grab a set of 3-pound dumbbells and hold one in each hand.
