[quote=Anonymous]There are a couple of exercises you can do while holding your child, they strengthen core, arm and back muscles and infants/toddlers think it's a game.  Sit on the floor with your legs out straight in front of you, hold the child straight out in front of your legs, then raise the child in an arch so that their feet are over your head, bring the child back down in front of you (make sure you keep your arms as straight as you can).  Twist to the left bust don't move your arms or legs, bring the child back to center, then twist to the right.  Do it  few times to start, gradually build up.  I also do a set with my legs crossed after legs out.

Lay your child on the floor and stand at their feet, lean down so that your hands are on either side of the child, slowly pick them up and keep your arms extended until you are standing and the child is in front of your face, then reverse and do it super soft and slow as the child touches the floor.  Believe me, it's a lot harder to do slowly, it builds up the core and back muscles, and the child thinks it's a game, especially if you make funny faces and noises the whole time.[/quote]
