Sometimes I Feel More Like a Maid Than a Mom

I’m continuously picking up toy trains, My Little Ponies, and hundreds of Legos off the floor.

I figured why not tighten and tone the tush while I help them put away their toys?

Get on your hands and knees – really make sure your hands are under your shoulders and your knees under your hips. It will help you with your form and avoid injury.
Make sure you tighten your tummy, and make your back flat like a table.
Don’t wiggle! As you begin, lift your bent right knee out to side at hip level.
Start with the left leg and kick it straight out to the side (really reach out to elongate the muscle).
Next, bend your knee at hip level.
Do 15 kicks, then return to start.
Switch legs and repeat.
Do this while putting toys back into your kids’ toy box throughout your day (I get in about three sets)!

Let me know how this works for you!
