Not sure yet. Right now I either dance with them to music or do a video workout when they watch tv. I sometimes do heavy gardening - if I'm pouring sweat, it's exercise to me. How that will change as we get back to doing school, not sure yet.

We never 'end' school so we try to incorporate exercise into everyday. She takes breaks when we go on vacation and when we moved, but she doesnt take summer vacations. She comes with us during most exercise times.

We school year-round also, taking breaks as needed. I try to get my workout in before we get started with our day, but if I'm late getting to it, I let the kids join in and we call it PE. They really like doing jumping jacks, squats, lunges, pushups, and planks with Mama. The older ones compete against each other. The little ones like to imitate what the older ones are doing.

I have to workout in the early morning or else it does not get done. Currently, I have a membership to 24 Hr Fitness and try to get in 3-5 times a week. Some weeks are better than others- it is a work in progress.

My kids are in a PE class that meets once a week for 1.5 hours during the school year. I am going to try to start walking around the neighborhood pond twice during our lunch time with the kids. That will equal about a mile. Every little bit helps, right?

Our schedule is different almost every day of the week. So, I workout at a different time each day. My kids' have activities such as TaeKwonDo and Figure Skating (plus, I give them a list of exercises to do daily on their own). When I do a class at the Y, my kids will usually swim. Sometimes I run or skate during my daughter's figure skating lessons (depending on which session and which kids are with me). I'm really big on teaching my kids how to work independently. Most days I only give assignments and answer questions now. I can workout almost any time of the day now because they can do most things on their own. Also, my older two are terrific babysitters if I decide to go out for a run. My biggest problem during this season of our homeschool is that we are so busy outside of the home and every day's schedule is different.

When my kids were younger, everyone had "quiet time" from 2-4 every weekday afternoon (the 0-4 year olds had to nap, the others just had to be quiet). I would either get up at 5am to workout before the husband left for work (DVD or run), or I would workout during quiet time. Either way, that time in the afternoon was mine. I would even change my answering machine (voicemail) message during the week to say something like, "Hello, we do school between the hours of nine and noon and quiet time from two to four. If you've called during that time, please call back later or leave a message. I'll try to return your call at my earliest convenience." I always silenced the ringer during those hours.

I hope you're able to figure out a time to fit that workout in

I have to workout in the morning otherwise I lose ALL motivation to. So I workout before the kids wakeup. Hubby works from home so when I bike they stay with him. If they wake up while I'm gone they work on chores while I'm gone so we can eat breakfast when I cone back. Then I shower while they finish any morning chores.

My husband works from home now too. Isn't it a blessing?!

I can't manage to get moving very early so early afternoon seems to be my workout time. I like the tae bo videos a lot. This is after all of their school work is done. Now, as soon as I get myself motivated I will be up and out the door BEFORE school to get some running in.
