One of my favorite family fitness exercises! The jump squat is an amazing lower body toner, and it will also rev up your heart rate. I do these a lot when I am out on walks with West and he is meandering or inspecting yet another ant on the ground. Have fun!
For Mom: Jump legs wide apart and squat down, pushing butt back like you were about to sit in a seat, bringing elbows to knees. Jump up, landing with feet together and squat down, pushing butt back and bring elbows to knees.
For Child: Jump with mom. Don’t worry if your child isn’t jumping exactly as you are–remember, they are just jumping around having fun!
Repetitions: 10-15
