    I run (C2K5), and do a lot of youtube videos. Currently working through Jillian Michael's 6weeks 6 pack abs one. Also I like the Cassey Ho pilates videos ... she is MEAN (in a good way - ha!)

    I'm a SAHM of a 5yr old, 3yr old, and 7 month old .. I do chalean extreme. Sometimes Im up as early as 4am working out. I don't wait for the time to come to work out.. as SOON as the opportunity strikes I make it work. Sometimes I have to pause and take care of business (like fetching my now mobile infant) but I make it work :) So far since Feb I've done 2 rounds of 30 day shred, a month of beachbody brazil butt lift and like I said now im on CLX.

    I am a SAHM too with a 7, 6 and 4 year old. I've checked out every Jillian Michaels DVD (and Biggest Loser DVD's from the library) but recently stuck with Jillian's Hard Body DVD (there are 2 parts) and do that 3 days a week. The other 3 days I run and all the while I walk everywhere. I'll park on one side of the school, drop kids off and walk and walk to get a good burn in for the day. Drink lots and lots of water!

    I will wake up my metabolism with a Muscle Milk shake around 0500 before everyone wakes up, and on the DVD mornings I'll do it before everyone wakes up so I am showered and ready for the day by 0600.

    I just don't understand why gyms are so expensive in certain states/areas. I pay $299/2 years (Costco deal w/24HourFitness) and $10/month for child care (additional kids are $5/month). I don't go for manicures, buy fancy coffees, or wear expensive clothes, so I figure $30/month is well worth spending on myself so I can have a little time to myself so I can be a better mom the rest of the day.
