As in, I use them as dumbbells and weights for my workouts. Here are some of exercises I like to do:</p> <p>1) Benchpress - I hold Charlie at his neck and butt, and benchpress him in reps of ten. He LOVES it! I usually do 40 or 50 reps. When I'm done, he's always begging for more.<br /> 2) Pushups - I lie down and Charlie climbs up onto my back. Then I do pushups while he holds on for dear life.<br /> 3) Curls - I hold Charlie or Olive in my arms and curl them from my lap to my chin. I can't curl Charlie, but Olive is light and small enough that I can curl her.</p> <p>Anyone else use their children as free weights? &lt;-- See what I did there? Hehe... </p>
