Additional Tips for Enhancing This Routine:
After the first or second week of doing this routine, it will become easier for you to do.You will need to step up the routine, so here are some tips on how to do that.
1. Adjust your walking speed and stride size.Wider strides will affect your thighs and gluts while shorter strides increase the overall aerobic exercise.
2. To add a burst to your aerobic experience, sing to your baby while stepping up your strides.
3. Practice tightening your abdominal and buttock muscles while using shorter to medium strides.Contracting these muscles while doing your aerobic exercise will increase the intensity of the workout while helping you to tone these muscles without expending much more of your valuable time.
4. Increase the repetitions of your toning breaks.
5. As your baby gets bigger, you will be able to go faster.You can begin jogging to step up the intensity of this routine.
6. Take a few extra moments during your toning breaks to spend time with your baby while adding some intensity to your routine. Holding your baby snuggly while doing your squats will add a boost to this exercise.
