    i work full time and I have a 17,14.11,7 year old. I workout at 5 am every morning sun is my rest day not really I clean house that day. I have a home gym, so I dont have to go to the gym. I have workout videos, books. There are so many thing you can do walk in place the kids will think its a game. Do squats while you are cooking get a jump rope . get some weights. sit them on your night stand jog in place, walk outside you can get it in. Take kids to the park the swing is a great workout, when my kids was really little I use them for my workout. I can go on and on. You just have to be creative when you have kids. I also put music on when cleaning I dance and get down on the floor scrub the floors and windows I make sure I get a workout and a clean house at the same time. You can do it add me if you like my diary is open.

    Ditto getting up earlier than them if you can. That way, you do it, get it crossed off your to do list as well. If you have extreme early risers like mine, carve 30 min where you can whether it's after bedtime, during nap for the little one--your 6 and 4 can do it with you or you can get them involved in play/activity where they are busy (it might take a couple weeks for them to get used to the routine, but they will). Once the weather cooperates, incorporate a lot of play time--do a soccer game, relay races with them, scavenger hunt walks/hikes or whatever--good for you and them! If you have a Wii, get the games others have suggested
