    What can you do while you're watching the kids right now? Are there any exercise videos you have? If you can get out of the house or out of the bedroom, just walk. Run up stairs if you have them - if not, just forego all self-conscience and speed walk around your house! :) I find myself looking for things to clean when I feel like I should be exercising, often just moving your body around a bit like that can burn more than you'd guess at first glance!

    No time like the present. Get to it because if you don't you will regret it the next time you are looking for some quiet in order to work out.

    "Experiencing this pain in my muscles and aching and going on and on is my challenge. The last three or four reps is what makes the muscles grow. This area of pain divides a champion from someone who is not a champion. That's what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they'll go through the pain no matter what happens. I have no fear of fainting. I do squats until I fall over and pass out. So what? It's not going to kill me. I wake up five minutes later and I'm OK. A lot of other athletes are afraid of this. So they don't pass out. They don't go on."

    Works every time!

    20 pushups (on your knees if you have to)
    40 Squats
    2 Minutes of plank (one attempt if you can)
    Go.

    Remember, YOU are the only one that can do this for YOU! ;) How bad do you want this?? I just yawned through the entire "Ripped in 30" video, thought I would pass out, but I did it! You CAN, too! :)

    Turn on some music with an upbeat tempo and dance. Most songs run between 3 and 4 minutes. Dance for 6 songs minimum, 7 or 8 would be better. The children might even join you and have a wonderful time.

    Edit: A bit of stretching is always a good thing too.

    I've done that. 17 in one set with nearly my max weight. I was flat out on the floor for 2 or 3 mins.
