I've noticed over the past few days that my husband has been using the children as weights, lifting them above his head mid squat and doing dramatic lunges when he thinks I'm not looking. Well, it turns out he's doing some 'power moves'. Apparently there are a range of power moves that use 4 major joints in the body, therefore using more muscle groups with each move. This in turn expends more calories. The joints are Shoulders (S), Hips (H), Elbows (E), and Knee (K). An example of how many muscles you'll be activating by performing these exercises is those using the hip. This joint supports the whole body and has 17 muscles connected. That's a lot of muscles to work out at once! The chap who devised the power moves is Marco Borges and his book is available on Amazon.
Fans of Beyonce will like this workout as her post-baby figure can be attributed in part to the highly targeted exercise it offers. I think my husband might be on to something when he says I should get in on the action. I can fit a few of these moves into my day and hopefully before long I'll look exactly like Beyonce! I won't need weights as I have 2.4 stone of pre-schooler and 1.12 stone of toddler to use and they will think it's just part of the daily rough and tumble they love so much.
It's been a while since I've tried a squat or a lunge and my post c section balance isn't all that great. I'll let you know whether I end up with a black eye or a bottom like Beyonce.
