    A double stroller is a great investment, and a good one can hold up to 100lbs. Plus, the extra weight of the kids really adds to the calorie burn. I do think setting them up with art supplies so that you can do a 30 minute dvd is a good idea. It teaches them to entertain themselves, and it is only 30 minutes.

    You know when my cousins are around (both the same age as your kids) I love just playing catch with them and badminton, with catch I put the effort in, squatting to throw at their level and all the running around after their stray balls really built up a sweat, I wear my hrm and I burn an amazing amount of calories.

    Kids are amazing and have tons of energy. I also have a three year old. It has taken a couple of times of going out but this last outing was for 3 miles (because that's how far he wanted to go!! ) The more we go the far he makes it and the fast he is going. Just give your daughter a little more practice, get them both on there bikes and enjoy your time with them. I also have a 9 and 12 year old that I did the same thing with. They have been running 5k's since they were in kindergarten and now do very well in there age groups. Leading by example with exercise is and incredible gift you can give your children. I love that you are working to give that to your kids.

    I do Pilates and set up an extra mat for my 2 year old. He likes to stick his feet in the air too.
