Plank It Up Tuesday

You've probably guessed what todays exercise is by the title of todays post! :) Thats right planking. 
Planking is one of the easiest exercises to do while playing with your child. You can do it while playing blocks or cars for 10 to 20 seconds at a time or for whatever time period you can push yourself to handle. Or if you want something more advanced allow you planking self to be that jungle gym the kids always wanted and let them give you a little more resistance! Because honestly what kid is not going to not jump all over the opportunity to climb on their mom if she is anywhere near the ground ;) Try and do this through out the day three or four times. 

For good form remember to keep you body straight like a board, don't stick you butt up to the sky and don't let it sag and create a dip in your body. Strong arms abs and legs! 

For "craft" today we are doing a fun sensory game during bath time. We are going to place a TINY but of food coloring into the bath water along with lots of bubbles! Then put some uncooked noodles, foam letter, blocks, and other bath friendly things. Then let them go to town finding different things underneath the colorful bubbles! 

Unfortunately there isn't a dinner recipe for today because by circuit breaker to the kitchen blew and so i have no electricity until later tonight! But you can still eat healthy while eating out. Remember to not stuff yourself, its okay to take home left overs! And don't let the Carbs be the large part of the meal, let some protein take over or veggies, I promise it will leave you feeling energized and satisfied rather than tired and weighed down.
