I'm getting my exercise in by getting up earlier (before the kids) and squeezing in 10 or 15 minutes before the crazy day starts. And when I'm home with the kids, I try to do something they can do with me so I'm getting exercise and getting them to move, too.
The other day, I jogged alongside/mostly behind them as they rode their bikes, and then we played together in the snow. That was a calorie burn!
Today, we spent about an hour playing Wii games. Now, we're going to do Saturday chores...scrubbing the tub is a calorie burn at my house, too!0 -
I also get an hour for my lunch break, and I will go for a walk outside for 20-30 minutes if it's nice outside.0

I joined a C25k group. I will jog three days a week and I enjoy spinning classes so I will do this 2x a week.0

thanks ladies i appreciate the ideas i sadly only hae 30 mins a day for lunch and i try to walk around during that cuz i eat lunch earlier at my desk. i live in wisconsin and the outside stuff is ok on the weekends cuz its day time but when i get home no time to go outside with my daughter. so i get to do the whole taking down the christmas stuff this week and cleaning so i think that will help plus my new exercise vid which will help too ^_^ thank you for your ideas they are great!0

In addition to hitting the gym during lunch breaks, I am trying to fit in time to play Just Dance on the Wii with my daughter several times a week. Not only is it a heck of a work out if you actually do the moves like the little weird people do, but it also ensures I get time with my daughter doing something she really enjoys as well (got to love that it's exercise for her too!).
I had once thought about buying one of those pedal things to put under my desk so I can work my legs a bit while working.
Good luck!0 -
We do the Just Dance for Kids on the Wii, too! So fun!0

Jillian Michaels 30 day shred is a good DVD workout that is just over 20 min long. I started with that one when I started workout DVDs. I am doing insanity now but I am finding I don't have time to do all of the insanity video each since being back at work this week.0
