Recommendations for baby & me workouts?

[Connie12]

Hello Cathe-mamas! I'm the proud Aunt of a 5 month old baby girl, her name is Zoey Marie. For Christmas I'd like to buy her and her mom a couple of workouts they could do "together". I'd like to find 1 yoga based one and one strength training base. I've done a little research online, but couldn't think of a better group of mamas to ask than all of you.

TIA,
Connie

Hi,
I don't have any recommendations, but did notice at familyvideo.com, they had quite a few mom and baby workouts. If you check videofitness.com, in the bargain section there is a code to get $5 off.

No suggestions here either...I always used my workout time for ME. I'm selfish that way I guess. Oh sweet bliss of ME time!!

Sorry,
Lindzebird

I don't know of any either, but would love to hear of any you find. I think it is a great idea to get your little one involved and create those healthy habits early.

I have two, one of which I really like. It's called Dance Baby Dance by Infantastic (www.infantastic.com). Very basic dance routines to a number of songs -- she can do as many or as few as she likes. My daughter is 7 months old, and she just loves it! It's not really high intensity, but if you do a few of the songs back to back, you do break into a slight sweat (of course, DD weighs 18 pounds, so that helps my intensity LOL).

The other video, by the same people, is Baby Reps. Again, not a super duper workout but fun for bonding with baby.

I also have a book I really like -- Pee Wee Pilates. It's Pilates with your baby.
