When you\u2019re a new dad<\/a>, it becomes hard to fit in a good workout. But you\u2019d be surprised as to how many exercises you can perform using only your kiddo (and a car seat). What\u2019s more, when you use your tot as a piece of exercise equipment, you get a workout, while your little champ gets all the benefits that come with roughhousing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s win-win. Note: Make sure you wait to do these exercises until your baby is ready for the action. Before you start tossing them around, they should be able to hold their neck up and sit up by themselves. In other words, don\u2019t catapult a 6-week-old newborn like a cannonball.<\/p>\n
