'The side lunge is an effective way to work the muscles of your lower body and can be performed using a barbell, dumbbells, or as a bodyweight exercise. Side lunges are a useful exercise for moms because the side-to-side movements are a big part of what we do every day. Include side lunges in your workout to complement more traditional leg exercises such as squats and regular lunges. It also allows you to work each leg independently. Elevating the straight leg on your stroller will add more resistance to the standing leg while working your balance and giving your little one something to kick...I mean play with. :-) Side lunges target your glutes and legs.  Stand with inside of left foot on your stroller and right foot on the ground beside it, about 2 feet away; legs extended. Clasp hands in front of chest. Bend right knee, pushing hips back. Return to starting position and repeat for 20 reps, then switch sides to complete the set, working both sides equally.  Modification for pregnant moms: keep both feet on the ground.'
