60 squats- in order to examine items, pick up toys, get on the floor, and get off the floor, Kenzie squats. She squats both quickly and sometimes for long periods of time at least once every minute, that's 60 squats in a one hour workout.
120 Sit down/stand ups- Kenzie does not stay in one place ever! She sits, she stands, she sits, she stands, she sits, she stands. Not kidding...about 120 reps in an hour.
30 arm curls/arm raises- everything she picks up ends up on her shoulder, over her head, or thrown on the floor. Try it. Pick up an object off the floor, raise it over your head, and throw it back down, 30 times- hey maybe even while squatting.
30 push ups- remember that a baby push up goes from full standing, to flinging yourself to the floor, rolling over, and then pushing back to full standing.
30 mins straight of running laps- either turn yourself in circles, chasw an object such as an animal or run everywhere you go for 30 mins because after all, toddlers do not walk anywhere ever!
20 climb up/climbs downs- toddlers climb up on everything including couches, laps, chairs etc and then immediately want to get down. Try climbing up on the equivalent, which would roughly be the height of a wall that comes up to your stomach. Go ahead, climb up and immediately get down...20 times.
15 mins of dragging items 1/3 to 1/2 your body weight- toddlers want to move things around. Kenzie rearranges her furniture constantly. She grabs objects much too big for her and drags them around. Take a dining room chair and just drag it around for about 15 mins straight.
Finally- do not stop moving, ever, at all, for 60 mins straight. Break these activities up or do them straight through in succession. Don't believe me, watch your toddler and take stock of their activities for an hour.
I'd love to know what your toddler workout would look like.
