    totally my story....altho most days, i get up early and workout while hubby dear is at home , in case they wake up. Whenever, i try to do some toning exerciese, they wanna do it with me.
    But then i think, in a way it is gud tht they r getting the sense of exercising and healthy eating early on in their lives...unlike me.

    I have 4 year old twin boys and this all sounds familiar. We are members of the local YMCA and they have babysitting while you work out. My boys have been going for quite a while and love it.

    When they were young, I would take them to a baseball field that wasn't in use. It was great since they are almost always fenced in and large, so I would play with them, or set them up with baseballs and bats and I could run around the perimerer of the field.

    Yes!! My 13 month old tackles me when I'm trying to do yoga and also clinging to my legs or walking through them!

    Yep, I think toddlerhood went by in a big whoosh for me!

    Our 11 year old son gave me a basketball for my b-day...so all those hours of leaving him with DH while I went to the gym have paid off...cause he thinks Mom is that fit!

    I usually workout in front of the tv while my 2 year old eats breakfast and watches Netflix on my computer 3 feet away. He's pretty good for the most part but lately he insists that I am creating a "bridge" just for him when I am doing some of the Insanity exercises or stretches. He also constantly gets in my way when I dance with the Kinect, which then adds another player or pauses the game. Drives me crazy. When we go for a long walk, he knows I won't let him out of the stroller but I bring snacks and let him play on my phone or his Leappad when the walk starts to bore him.

    Take them to the gym, toss them in the lions cage with all the other toddlers, and book it before they know what the F just happened. You're welcome.

    I think ur toddler's might have been training mine. My solution has been to bike to and from work, and they work out at lunch. My husband distracts her on the weekends while I sneak out for my long run. Actually, even though distracted she used to scream and carry on like someone told her santa claus was dead, but I kept on leaving her little *kitten* with her papa and she realized she has to embrace the run, now she cheers me on. However, she hates when I use the computer to log (I try to do all my logging at work) and I hear her little hater feet coming so I gtg!

    What can I say?!? It's sabotage...
    :laugh: :bigsmile: :laugh: :bigsmile: :laugh:
    I totally feel your pain, OP. Mine sabotaged my graduate program by putting pennies in my computer's floppy drive and hanging on my arm as I was typing my thesis. When I let him drop the six inches from my forearm to the floor, he called 911 on me. :huh: #truestory





















    And now he's commuting to college, and even though he still lives in my house... for now... every time I see him is special. I went through "empty nest" HARD when he went out of state for a couple years. Mixed feelings about going through it again. Sure enjoying his presence in the house now, and not just because he spots my bench. :happy:

    ETA: He also seems to get chatty about girlfriends, want to demonstrate his power clean, and/or have a network problem or a homework question, right after my warmup set of squats. Some things never change!

    I know we're doing this for fun...but this a.m. I asked DS for a kiss and he said: Okay, Mom, if it is important to you.

    It is amazing how you go from being the center of their world....to be an intrusion!
