Snow Day Kitchen Cardio Workout

As I listened to the kids snowboarding and sledding down our street I created a kitchen workout you can do while your kid is eating. I was trying to be resourceful in knowing you are inside with your babes, and it's tough to find space.

Begin facing your kiddo in the highchair.

• 2 minutes squats with scap -squeezes - giving high fives on your way up or down
• 1.5 minute Squat and on the way up alternating high knees
• 2 Minute Speed Skating- noticing how you want to mop your floor (hee hee)
• 1 Minute step and drag sliding feet across your floor. Rotate legs- focus on engagingyour ab and adductors (Inner thighs)
• 2 Minute Speed Skating getting LOW with a flat back
• 1 Minute High Knees- Arms raised in 2 90 Degree angles by your shoulders
• 1 Minute down low to Mountain climbers
• 1 Minute High Knees FAST
• 1 Minute down low to Boulders
• 2 Minutes Cheerio Pick UP- Start in standing position and squat than reach to the ground grab the food thrown off the tray and continue. Stay in a low squat tapping hands to the ground and high five your kiddo in between bring food back to the tray
• 1.5 minutes Speed Skating
• 1 Minute Plie Squat Jump Ups
• 1.5 Minutea Speed Skating
• .5 Minute Plie Squat Jump Ups

Stretch and drink your H2O!

Have fun and repeat throughout the day when you find 20 minute windows.
