Alexa PenaVega Works Out With Baby Son Ocean: 'He Thinks We're Playing'

We still can’t believe just how big Ocean PenaVega is getting!

Mom Alexa PenaVega recently opened up about how fast he’s growing up and revealed that she includes Ocean in her workouts.

“I’ll hold him and I’ll be doing squats or arm exercises or abs, and basically what you’d be doing with an exercise ball, I do with him,” she says. “And it’s so fun, and he think that we’re playing, which we are but I’m also getting a workout in.” the new mom reveals.

Alexa adds, “It’s been a great bonding thing for the two of us and then I don’t feel like, ‘Oh my gosh, I haven’t been able to go to the gym and have any me time to get myself back in shape.’ Because I am and it’s ‘me’ time and time with my son. and I’ve found it to be a super fun and positive thing.”

And even though dad Carlos is there to take care of Ocean, Alexa actually loves working out with Ocean near her.

“I think that as new moms we really want to just jump back into it and it’s really hard to find the time to do that,” she says. “But at the same time, my husband is like, ‘Don’t worry I’ll watch him, you go to the gym.’”

Alexa adds: “I just can’t leave him, and it feels weird.”
