I probably haven’t seen the inside of a gym since I fell pregnant and, in all honesty, I do miss it (I really do) as it gave me time between work and home to wind down. It also gave me a clean and energised feeling despite getting sweaty. I really enjoyed it.
Since having T I’ve recently realised that I actually do several ‘exercises’ on a daily basis – or at least that’s what I tell myself when I’m on my second piece of cake.
The (dash-to-the-kitchen-for-tea-during-nap-time) Interval Run: Complete this 2-4 times a day for an all over body workout.
The (desperate-full-bladder) Stair Climb: Likely to also strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, this exercise will also work your thighs, bum, and tum.
The (up-hill-buggy) Bicep Extension: For an added workout, add a bag of shopping to the load as well as a full bladder.
The (quick!-grab-a-muslin) Tricep Extension: For extra tone, add a cat refusing to move off the other end of the muslin.
The (other-end-of-the-sofa-forgotten-item) Leg Extension: Adding a baby to your chest will add tone to your core muscles.
The (pick-up-washing-with-baby) Squat: Wet towels, and winter jumpers ready for storage will add an extra upper body workout.
The (washing-machine-load-with-baby) Lunge: With a phone, pair of socks, and back door keys in your pocket, it’ll add some extra bruising toning to your thighs.
After the workout, cool down is vital – so I make sure I grab my nearest dessert-based product from the fridge.
What are your daily ‘exercises’?

This is pretty awesome. We have ‘The (picking-up-two-babies-simultaneously-while-not-dropping-one) Squat’… It’s done wonders for my core and butt!
Haha! Exactly! I always go to bed with hard as nails abs and thighs!
