    My son is 7, but I babysit a 2 year old, and I either workout before she gets here at 7am, or I use her as resistance. Chuck her on my front or back and do lunges or squats while singing a song. Lay down on my back and "bench press" her. Stand her on my feet, and sit up to blow raspberries on her cheeks. "race" whenever we are outside. Turn on silly music and dance with her. This all works for the older kids as well lol

    I like them ideas because I have a 4 year old and shes really energetic but she doesnt like to go walking or running or workout with me.... so I make a game out of it and chase her or bench press her....
