I've had this thought before but never shared it (maybe I shouldn't :). While working out today I had a chance to capture my thoughts in film...
When working out with curly-headed two year old I often feel (and probably look) like a Mama orangutan moving around with a kid crawling all over her - this is why I use videos at home and don't do this in public - atleast, until said two year old is grown.
It's also why I secretly count my workout as harder than the lady in the video (even if just a .001 of a point harder) -
Extra point for mom who
1. did the workout when she had a gazillion other things to do (or just didn't want to)
2. doing pushups while toddler is "pushing down" on mama is a little harder - planks are double hard.
3. watching kid do workout while sucking thumb and not actually having to work to kick legs, lean forward, jump up and down requires focus and composure - seriously kid, I know you're not trying to mock your mama.
4. dog breathing on face during workout - more focus- reminder - brush teeth after workout.
Here's to healthier Mama Orangutans everywhere!!!
