The Modified Push-Up

April 25, 2008
This works your chest and triceps (back of the upper arm).

Place baby on a comfortable blanket or mattress on the floor. Get onto all fours with your face in line with your child's. Put your knees to the ground and push them back till your body forms a diagonal line head to knees. Keep your feet on the floor, hips in line with the body and tummy muscles tight. Arms should be wide apart, fingers facing outward.

Now slowly lower yourself towards baby by bending your elbows. If you can get low enough, plant a kiss on his/ her forehead! Slowly push yourself up by squeezing your chest muscles as well as the triceps.

Do 10 to 12 reps. Your baby will enjoy this too as he/ she watches you!
