I couldn’t get enough of the squatting baby videos I received after posting. In fact I got so excited I grabbed a 20 lb medicine ball to give you mommies an abdominal challenge! Again, this can be done with a med ball, puppy, or child from anywhere. Keep the videos coming I love seeing you ladies squatting puppies and babies. There really is nothing better!  🙂

How to do it:

1) Place baby on your hips

2) With your knees bent, and feet flat on the floor and raise into a bridge by lifting hips and squeezing glutes TIGHT.

2) Lift baby straight out in front of you with elbows locked out, shoulders back and down

3) Crunch upper abdominals so head, neck and shoulders rise off the ground

4) Lift legs 6″ off the ground

5) Count each rep as an 8 count. Sounds like, “1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 and 8” (that is 1 rep)

6) Complete 3 sets of 8 reps

7) When finished raise hips into bridge to receive baby and slowly lower hips to ground
