Of all the exercises I do, laps from here to the moon in the pool, high impact bhangra dancing, ankle and wrist weights on the treadmill...nothing is a bigger physical challenge than spending the day with my 2 yr old nephew. He's 30 lbs & full of monkeys which makes him a perfect exercise accessory!
Yesterday we played chase, ran all over the house, danced with Curious George, danced with Gene Kelly, played Stand Up/Sit Down (which is great for your thighs & abs if you keep good form & go all the way to the floor), and I lifted him everywhere like a giant free weight. I don't work up better sweat even doing hatha yoga.
I couldn't find "Playing with a 2 Yr Old for 7 hours" in the exercise log so I chose 3 hrs of Circuit Training since I was doing something different every 5 minutes and only sat/rested for 10 minutes at a time every 2 or so hours. It was an active day so I treated myself to a big dose of Fat and Carbs to give me an energy buffer since I haven't been consuming a lot of calories lately & technically am still sick.
I'm really glad I already have an established fitness level or I wouldn't be able to keep up with him. Even his Dad gets tired after a couple hours. Whenever I started to get tired we'd change the game. He rode my back for 15 minutes (he liked it when I did cat stretches and donkey kicks), then I changed to bench pressing him, then we'd run for awhile (using arms to +cardio, jumping to bring in plyometrics). Best workout in town!
