I am somewhat new here...I signed up a few weeks ago but I havent posted here yet.

A little about me, I am 27, have a 4 year old boy, and am currently a SAHM. I am also trying to lose 82 pounds. Any tips or advice anyone can give me on how to balance a gym routine with my son's activities would be greatly appreciated!

    Welcome!

    When I had my kids, I used them as weights, I would exercise with them and they would love it. I still do it with my 6 year old and 3 year old. Chest press with my son, (he's 3), reverse curls with a kid on my legs, airplane type games. Kids absolutely love it and I get a little workout in!

    Good luck, if you haven't discovered already, this site is great...it keeps you accountable as long as you document what you eat, it works really well!

    I have four kids with a very busy schedule, I knew there was just no way I could make it to a gym so we bought a treadmill on sale at Sears and so I walk about 20-30 mins twice a day. I usually do one in the morning and then one in the afternoon. The first few days were hard but then I noticed I had alot more energy and now I try to add one more at night. Hope this helps...Laurie:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
