Do you use a child seat or trailer? What brand/style? Any complaints/praises?

I have been researching and reading reviews and have no clue what would be ideal for us.



Answer
We have a Chariot and its the best thing ever! Its a trailer that converts to a jogger (you can also buy skiing and hiking attachments). They are lightweight, convert in a snap, fold down flat to fit in your car (wheels come off too), and are top quality from materials to design to engineering.

We use it for biking and outdoorsy things like going to the beach, the zoo, or for a trek in the woods.

They are very pricey, but they hold up extremely well, and they hold their value so you can sell it after using it for 5+ years and still get at least 1/2 your money back, probably more. Used ones are VERY hard to find around here. I couldn't find used so I splurged and got new and I am not disappointed.

I need to tone. What are some good exercises for being inside the house?

I have two toddlers so I can not go outside running or anything in this cold weather. I do not have a treadmill. I am happy with my weight, I do not need to lose anymore. I just want to tone everything and make it tighter. Please give me some exercises or dvd's or something that you have done and were successful with. Thanks!!


Answer
I am a mom as well and the reason I started training in home in because I know how hard it is to get away. I train other people in there homes now and they love it. here are a couple of dvd's and an exercise routine that I have given some of them. Gilad's total body fitness( he is on the fitness network, the quick start dvd for pilate's by Gaiam, and turbo jam multi pack( a little more advanced).
You cannot just do situps to help get rid of love handles or make your stomach flat, and you cannot get thinner thighs by just doing workouts for your thighs. If you were to look at a muscle anatomy picture, you will find that what we call love handles are simply our gluteus medius which goes up and connects to the external obliques and goes down to and forms the gluteus maximus which is connected to your lats. Doing the following will help with the entire area to tighten and tone up your muscles and help burn the fat around them. Hope all of this helps do lunges, stepup kickbacks, walking downhill, running, leg raises without weight or very light weight, yoga, push ups, lat pull downs, pull ups rowing, and deadlifts. All of this combined with a proper diet full of lean protein and carbs, and you should be in business. If you need anymore help email me. Do 3-4 sets and 15-20 reps of light âno weights at all.
