    Yes... Depending on how young or old your kids are gives different problems! I'm working full time and I have 2 kids but it's doable if you think of sneaky ways to beat it :#

    It's so much easier when they get a little older. We can do a lot together now. My youngest and I do Aerial, kayak, hit the gym and go Bouldering together.

    My daughter is one and it is not easy working out with her around. I mostly workout when she naps or wait until my boyfriend gets home so I can go to the gym. But it's so hard to keep motivation. I am on day two of my diet and exercise. Going strong! I really want to get rid of 20 pounds.
