Here is a very simple but fun exercise I found online. Sit your child in a stroller or high chair. Stand about 3 feet away with your legs together. Take a step forward with your right leg and slowly bend down until your leg is parallel with the floor. Remember to keep that knee at a right angle, and don't let you knee go past your toes. While holding this position, reach forward and give your little one a treat, or blow them a kiss or make a silly face. Slowly move back to the starting position and try again with your left leg. Repeat this process, alternating each leg and giving your little bundle of joy another snack (such as whole grain Cherrios) with each lunge. This is a great way to strengthen your legs quickly and keep baby entertained. Don't forget about your posture! Keep your back straight with your chin level.
