That explains my muscle development after having kids. Basically just doing squats and lifts throughout the day. Lots of tag based cardio to round it out and those multiple peanut butter and jelly sandwiches every day probably helps as well.
- throwaway787544 4y agoNot a bad idea... Round it out with some leap-frog for plyo, animal crawls. You could turn burpees into a fun game. (Where is the parent-kid playtime-workout video that we all need? Tire the kids out and give the parents a couple sets)
- Balgair 4y agoI'm not saying 'Baby Shark' with burpees wouldn't not get me in the best shape of my life. But I am saying that I'd rather jump off a bridge than combine two of the most hated things in existence.
- hombre_fatal 4y agoOne of the best things my dad taught me was to have fun doing push-ups and squats randomly throughout the day like any time there's downtime. I hope you pass it on to your kids. It's like teaching your kids to enjoy a raw carrot when they feel for a snack (something I also thank my parents for).
- gardenhedge 4y agoHow has having a raw carrot as a snack helped you in life?
- lolc 4y agoA carrot can replace less healthy alternatives.

- jrussino 4y agoI actually got real evidence for this recently. I used to do regular strength training, but when my second child was born I stopped for about 2 years. I had also been doing occasional (1-3x/yr) DEXA scans to check my body composition. When I re-scanned myself after about 2 years off, I had gained quite a bit of fat and lost muscle in most places, but gained muscle in my arms/upper body. I felt notably stronger from carrying her (and her growing older sister) and that confirmed it.
