Walking For Weight Loss
Walking for weight loss works, but only if you work it! For many Moms walking is the number one fitness activity of choice.
Walking for weight loss is considered to be one of the best ways to strengthen the cardiovascular system and improve over all health. But only if your walking routine never becomes monotonous or predictable.
When walking regularly it can seem that over time your workout becomes less and less challenging and your weight loss results can feel less substantial. When this happens it’s time to switch it up! Read more
5 Ways To Get A Workout AND Play With Your Kids
I know many-a-busy Moms (myself included) who feel they don’t have time to workout especially after a long day of work and being away from the kids all day. But, no more excuses! Why not get a workout AND spend time with the kids?
Here are five ways to include the kids in your workout routine:
Jogarama/Walkarama
I received a jogging stroller at my baby shower and I LOVE it. Since summer is here there is no better time than now to get one of these if you don’t already have one.
Also, thanks to a comment by StrollerFittin’ I learned about Stroller Fit! This is great idea. Unfortunately, there are no classes near me. 
Squats, Lifts, and Dips
Using your baby/toddler as a weight. Hold her while you do squats, leg lifts, and dips. The weight of your child will really make those muscles burn!
Playarama
This is my sons favorite! Just play with your preschooler. Get on the floor and wrestle. It’s fun and you can work up a sweat!
Jump, Jump
Jumping up and down is a great workout. If you have a trampoline – even better. If you don’t – that’s okay. Just jump around in place. Make it a game to see who can jump the highest!
Hop Scotch, Jump Rope, and Tag
These games are great fun and you can work up a sweat if too – if you work at it.
These are some of the things I do when I can’t get a ‘real’ workout in. If you have some ideas to mix working out with your kids please put them in the comments below. I’d love to have more ideas!
