    Habe you tried any of the at home videos? You can do a little while the kids are napping or sleeping.... I know sometimes that is tuff. I have a 6 yr old and he is forever in need of something..... Or a walk while they are in the stroller....

    Hi there! Welcome aboard. I'd look into doing a video while they're sleeping, either nap time in the afternoon or at night after they go to bed. There are some you can either rent at the library, or our local video store has a free section of them...or you can even find some online (such as youtube).

    Hi SAHM of 6 kids. I also have high stress and am tired. My fitness is important to me so I make time. You don't need much to start just the decision to start.

    walk
    run on the spot
    air boxing
    dance
    I highly recommend weight lifting changes your body quickly and it feel so good!

    There's no reason you can't lose that weight. If you're not very active, I once you start to exercise you'll be surprised how fast it can slide off. Trying putting the babies in the stroller and going for a walk or do a 20-30 mi it's video while they're napping like pp said. I've lost 19 lbs since February and its mostly from walking and cutting back on junk food
