A fun way to work the quads

Today in Stroller Strides we did something very fun and effective to work the legs, especially those quads. This would be a great activity to do with a group, your kids, and the whole family.

Find a nice long wall, and have everyone stand against it with their backs to the wall, keeping your shoulders against the wall at all times. Lower down until you are in a sitting postion, with your knees bent at a 90 degree angle. Hold out your hands, palms facing up.

The person on the end stands up and runs past the whole line of people, smacking each person's hands  (gently of course), and runs back to their spot, smacking the hands a 2nd time. The first person gets back into sitting position against the wall, and the next person goes. 

We did this with our strollers lined up in front of us, and each person ran past the moms smacking hands, and then ran past the kids, tapping their hands too. I cannot tell you how much Saxon loved this! He giggled so hard!!

By the time everyone had gone through the line, my legs were shaking! And we were yelling, "run faster!!"  It was fun, and way more interesting than your typical squats!
