Yeah right! Exercising while the girls are awake is something that I have not quite mastered...until today! I am not sure if this will work everyday or even very often, but today it was a success! So here are two ways to get a light workout in and keep your kids happy at the same time:
1. Find an enclosed park that has a sidewalk around the whole thing. While the kids play, walk around the playground (I pushed Lucy in the stroller while Abby played on the swings!). I walked around the playground for about 30 minutes.
2. Find an enclosed basketball court. Bring a soccer ball, basketball, or even a bike or scooter for the kids. While you walk around the court, the kids can play. I am going to try this tactic out this week too!
So after I came up with these great ideas, I realized I am basically keeping my kids in a cage! Whatever, it works and everyone is happy!
I'm locking them in right there with you! It's a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI love your ideas Erin! Sam and I have been working out together lately...don't laugh, Im out of breath before she is :) we go to the church parking lot across the street and I run while she either runs or rides her bike. I have even done it while Elizabeth sat in the stroller and watched, else she stays home with Doug.
ReplyDeleteI think its never to early to teach your kids, by example, how to be active and healthy!
keep posting - I love your recipes and ideas
