    I find it hard to get started too :ohwell: .....I usually talk myself into going outside to feed the horses and dogs, take the trash out and then once I get outside and start moving I just keep on walking! :laugh: You shouldn't consider it exercise...think of it as just spending time with your child...get a ball of some sort and roll it back and forth or let her kick it and you go get it...Push her in a stroller and start naming off the different things you see..you help her with her vocabulary, you get to move and you show her that it's fun to move around and that you are fun to be with...As she gets older you will be surprised how close you will be just by spending such quality time with her! Best wishes and keep us posted on how you get to movin'!! :happy:

    Not sure where you live but you could try hiking or going on nature walks with her. Gardening too.
