The Eagle

Arms and Chest

·         Do not perform this exercise if you have any shoulder problems.  Adding the weight of your child might not be a good idea if you have any concern about your shoulder strength.

·         Place three sturdy chairs, or two chairs and a couch, in a triangle.  Be sure the chairs are sturdy.  You don’t want to end up in a pile of chair and flesh.

·         Place each hand on a chair and then the feet, or knees, on the third.

·         (Optional) Have one of your kids get on your back and hang on.  If you decide to have a child ride on your back, you will want to place your knees on the couch or chair.  This puts less pressure on your back.

·         Lower yourself down between the chairs.

·         Push yourself back up.

·         When your repetition goal is met, simply walk your feet off the couch to the ground and have your child get off.
