SAHM's

I have a 6 month old and a 2.5 year old and I stay at home. I do DVDs (I'm currently doing Insanity) while my 6 month old naps and my older son plays in his room.

I have a 2.5 year old, a 10 month old, and just found out I am expecting. Right now, the only way I have time is either when a) my daughter takes a nap, and my son and I do 30DS together or b) I go to the local Y where they have free childcare for members. The kids get to socialize with friends, and I get to workout/shower in peace, so it's a win/win for everyone.

I'm a SAHM to an almost 3yo, and a 15mo, I wear the 15mo in a carrier and my almost 3yo walks, and we go for a walk almost every single day. That's the only excercise I do.

My husband works 4 days on and 4 days off at 12 hour shifts. My son will be 1 in 2 weeks and one way I exercise with him around is. I get on the floor and play with him and I'll do leg lifts and crunches. I will also put him in his stroller and go on a walk. It's good for both of us. He loves mickey mouse clubhouse and we always do the hot dog dance together and then some. He loves to mock what I do lol. I also feed him him whatever I eat and since I want him to eat healthy it encourages me to cook healthy food for both of us and not just something in a freezer bag or can.

I'm a full-time student as well. I just make sure that when I have to be on campus, I park in a far lot and take the stairs (7 flights up and down is killer on the knees, though). When I'm at home, I just try to go outside with the kids, or take a walk with them. I haven't done DVDs or games for a while, though I want to get back to them. We're also going to be setting up weights in our garage so that after my husband gets home, we'll be able to work on that with the kids right in the back yard.

I have a 6 month old and I try to take a walk with him every morning and I play the Zumba Fitness game on my xbox when my son plays or sleeps. I also do basic strength training workouts with free weights and sometimes walk/run at night when my husband is home and my baby is sleeping. I just started and haven't weighed in yet but I think I am losing weight, I have been monitoring my calorie intake and exercising as much as I can so hopefully I will have a good number! Feel free to add me!

I'm a stay at home mom to a 4 year old, 2 year old & 1 year old and a part time student. I do an assortment of things. I either do workout videos at home while the youngest nap & my oldest watches a movie ( or joins me occasionaly), or ride my stationary bike after they all go to sleep at 7:30. When it's cooler out I put my 1yo in the baby backpack & my other to in the double stroller & go for a walk. It all really depends on the weather & how bad they wore me out that day!

I use the gym's childcare facility, it is the only way I get to go. If I can not use the childcare facility I can not go. My husband works 50 hours a week, neither of s are students but I work from home and being a homemaker, the only times when I get to go is in the hours before my work & the 2 days off that I have each week, and utilizing that facility is absolutely necessary.

I have a 6 year old in 1st grade now and a 4 year old at home full time with me. I set aside time from 10-12 every day to get it done. I just tell myself that is my time(I don't use the whole time but that is my window of GET IT DONE-ness). I would set them up with play doh, water color paints, washable markers, a fun movie and snack and do me. We also have a fenced in back yard so they spent a lot of summer out there playing. I would also tell them this was Mommy's time, that I needed it to help my heart stay healthy so I could run and play with them later. In turn they are like my Mom exercises cause she wants to have a healthy heart and to live a long time. So it's teaching good values! I also know women who get up at 5 am to get it done before everyone is up to go to work and school and 9 pmers who do it after a long day. You will do what best suits you and your needs. Just know that be it 7 am or 7pm that you are taking care of you and you have to do that to take care of anyone else. Go MOMMA GO!

I'm kinda in the same boat as you. Both my husband and I are in college (I'm full-time, he's part-time), We have a 4 year-old son with autism and cerebral palsy, he works outside the home as well and is out of town most weekends for work. I get my workouts in by getting up at 4:30 in the morning and hit the gym at 5am The gym we belong to also has a childcare/play zone for kids so if I'm not able to get it in that morning I'll take my son with me. I also plan out everything for the week. Including meal plans and a family schedule showing what, where, and when we have to be somewhere. This saves me time and energy in the long run.

SAHM of 3 here: I like to wake up at 4:30-5 a.m. and go for a long walk/run, returning by 6 a.m. when my husband leaves to work out with his unit (military) and the older two kids need to start getting ready for school. On the rare occasion that I can't get moving early, I either take the little one to the family room at our gym (after we drop the others at school) and I work out while she plays with other kids. OR we do the trampoline in the backyard together. OR I do Leslie Sansone walking DVD's in the living room (she'll either watch me or watch Dora on the computer nearby). OR I'll take her for a slow walk up/down our street (at 3, she can walk/run up to a mile at a very quick pace for having such little legs). Sometimes I carry her home on my back. I also have a jogging stroller for back-up if she's too tired to walk some days; she never is. So then, if I've picked the older two up from school by 3 p.m. and still haven't worked out, then we'll do some Nickolodeon Dance or Zumba together on the Xbox after school. If I haven't worked out by dinner, then the entire family goes for a walk together (including the dog) after dinner. If that doesn't work, then I just work hard doing extra chores around the house, refusing to just sit down on the couch and relax even if everyone else is. My goal: just keep moving! I wear a Fitbit, so I try for a minimum of 10,000 steps every day, no matter what! Most days I get up to 15,000 steps. My best day so far was 24,000 steps.... And I always have alternatives and then alternatives to my alternatives so there is absolutely no excuse for me not moving anymore. So far, it's worked for 36 days straight now. Feels GREAT and gives me so much more energy... I absolutely can't afford NOT to keep moving anymore... Just keep moving! They say we'll never get the *kitten* we want, by sitting on the one we have.
