    If someone was creative it seems to me that little ones can be part of weight training. If done with child safety in mind...picking up kids can be a workout.

    One could hold them and do twists at the waist...bends...straight leg deadlifts...all kinds of things. You get a workout...time with kids...and you teach them not to make excuses.

    When my child were little...if I got in the floor...they wanted to be there too. They thought it was play time.

    Oh...and then there is the "hop like bunnies" game.

    Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds videos. They're basically walking in place, with added arm movements you can do with or without weights. You can buy them cheap at Walmart or she has quite a few free on her website.

    Something that doesn't require a lot of time, space or money is "You Are Your Own Gym" by Mark Lauren. It's a book. Look it up. Use it. 30 min or less body weight workouts, I found when I did them my little one wanted to do it with me mimicking my movements. He also has an app if you have a smart phone or iphone which makes the program easier. Doesn't require jumping around so you don't have to worry about knocking the house down :laugh: I like it because the exercises are simple (not easy though), fast yet very effective. It's also progressive so you can always keep improving.

    Good luck! Just get up and do it!

    I was in the same boat 2 months ago and I just started walking. And music does take your mind off of it. I would leave my 2 year old with his dad and knock out a mile in 30 mins. Then I was lucky when it got cold because we have a walkstation at work where you and walk and work at the same time. That helped me reach 2 miles for the first time. You could always walk aroind at work or at the mall if its too cold. I will be adding exercise to my walks next month. And I am doing blogilates with cassy ho. Im excited.

    I like to play wii fit with the kids. Mine are age 4 and 7. We also have wii dance and kids dance. This not only gives me exercise and wears them out, but also gives us some quality time together :) I also don't care to walk outside when it is very cold so I go to our local mall and walk.

    Instead of buying weights, use the kids, lift them up high over your head, hold one out in front of you as long as possible then try to beat your time
