Keke Palmer is showing how parents can get a workout in while still spending time with their kids.

On Tuesday, March 10, the actress, 32, shared a video of herself and her 3-year-old son, Leodis "Leo" Andrellton, exercising together.

Palmer, who shares her boy with ex-boyfriend Darius Jackson, kept her movements controlled as she did reformer pilates while her son sat on the machine in front of her with a big smile on his face. At one point, he even hugged his hard-working mom.

“I had to share this of me and my little guy,” the proud mom wrote in her caption. “He has always tried to work out with me, he even knows how to do push ups, I’m not kidding! I’ll share it with you guys haha.”

Palmer continued, “He did morning Pilates with me before school today, he is just the sweetest.”

“Habits are who we are, as Aristotle once said ‘We are what we repeatedly do, excellence is then not at act but a habit,’ ” the One of Them Days star wrote. “When my son started watching me, I became better 🥹.#PracticeByPalmer.”

Commenting under the clip, which was set to Grover Washington Jr.’s “Just the Two of Us,” many of Palmer’s followers gushed about how adorable the video was.

“This is the cutest! Best way to workout!,” health coach Massy Arias wrote.

“This video explains perfectly being a toddler mom 😂😂💕,” a second added.

Another said, “This melts my heart. You can tell he is such a blessing for you and loves his mama. ❤️.”

Last month Palmer opened up to PEOPLE about juggling her career with motherhood.

“There actually are three of me,” she jokingly told PEOPLE at the L.A. premiere of her new Peacock series, The ‘Burbs.

“It’s a lot,” she continued. “I feel like after [having] my son I’ve become even more intentional with what I choose to do, how I choose to spare my time. I love everything that I do, but I think [I’m] always conscious to have a good team, to make sure that I can handle it all, and be able to organize it, 'cause it is a lot, but I do love it.”

She added that she loved watching her son go from “being a little baby that didn't speak to having words, opinions and a personality.”

"Like when you see your kid, it really is a mirror to you with your own life, but you're able to give them … what you need to give to yourself. So it's been a real blessing,” Palmer told PEOPLE. “My son is everything to me, you know?”
