My Wife’s Highly Efficient Cardio Hack

I don’t know how it happened so fast, but it’s already been over 6 weeks since our second daughter was born.

Now my wife Martha is feeling quite recovered and confident, so we’ve started taking walks with the whole family again.

Just imagine this for a second:

Martha, our 21 month old, our 6 week old, our pup, and I want to go for a walk…

In order to do so, I have to help strap our newborn to my wife with one of those baby carrier apparatuses (apparati?) then carry our toddler and walk our pup downstairs.

And since I’ve been keeping our stroller in the car for convenience, I have to put my daughter in her car seat, pop our pup in the back, unfold and set up the stroller, put our daughter in the stroller, then take our pup back out of the car.

It’s a bit of a process…

But now we’re ready to go, and we can finally get to talking about the cardio hack.

You know how walking is good and stuff?

Well, my ambitious wife is taking things to the next level already by turning walking into a workout.

(for context, she’s 5'3" and I’ve repped more than her bodyweight on strict standing overhead press before…)
