    I don't really think it is that dangerous. What is going to happen? As long as she knows her limits and doesn't work to complete failure, I don't really see what could happen. The weights fly off the bar and hit the baby? Maybe I am just not seeing what could go wrong? It is inspiration though. And her baby is seeing her as a first hand example of what dedication and working out is, so the baby is already learning great skills from its mother.

    That is good determination, but none-the-less dangerous!

    I'd say with those biceps and thighs, that baby is safer than I am when I walk.

    I would guess she was in more danger of an accident on her way to the gym than working out with the kid on the back. More power to her. Guess I have no excuse not to work out now.

    lol Her gym must not have a daycare and a kids gym.

    Why don't you just use your kid as a weight? That's what I do! It's called airplane at my house and my 3yo loves it lol

    You know, there are plenty of exercises you can do along side your child, that seems just dangerous.

    I like this...as an inspirational photo (breaking mommy stereotypes). I wouldn't actually lift with my child on my back.

    Same, I'd be afraid of dropping a weight on the child's head by accident (I'm clumsy, don't want to risk it). But I think baby wearing while doing safer activities is great, e.g. walking. It's like wearing a weighted vest, and your child gets to see lots of interesting things and spend time with you.

    I saw someone fall off their bike once carrying a child on their back, the baby broke it's arm.

    But of course she knows what she is doing.... what could possibly go wrong :ohwell:

    My gym would not allow this, ever.

    I do that too, they like being "dumbbells" and I can do bench and shoulder presses with them lol. I don't let them near me when I'm using actual dumbbells, once I dropped one on the floor and it made a dent in the ceramic tiled floor we have, well if my child had been there... you get the idea! Did I mention that I'm clumsy lol...
