The word ‘exercise’ is derived from a Latin word that means “to maintain, to keep, to ward off," which is exactly what we’re doing when we train all physical systems in the body with a variety of exercises, performed as many days per week as possible. By working our agility, balance, cardiovascular system, strength and flexibility on a regular basis we ‘ward off’ diseases and health problems. In this flu/cold season, we all need all the help we can get to stay healthy. So, give your immune system a boost by finishing off the day off with some tick tock squats like StrollerFit moms have done today.
Tick Tock Squat
Stand on tube with both feet shoulder width apart. Keep toes pointed forward. Sit back as if sitting in a chair. Keep chest up and avoid folding torso to knees. Weight is pushing though heels.
As you come back up lift one leg out to the side. Of course it helps to have your child watch "spot" you and make sure you're doing it right. :)
Repeat to opposite side.
*Do not allow knees to go in front of ankles during squat. Keep chest up and back straight. Do not bend at waist.
Do 2 sets of 15-18
