Anyone want to know how to workout with kids at home?
Just do it! Really, get them used to Mommy working out everyday. Mommy gets to do this. I make sure they have a snack, sippys, a movie on, and I go downstairs and get to it. They know it's mommy's thing. My little ones now join me and love it! My 2 year old says "Dance!" and goes to town! Had a good picture to show, but it…

Moms do not have to settle for less...pics
I am a mother of 5, and with each pregnancy I gained weight.

After my last baby, I knew I didn't want to say, "well, I'm a mom, so this is just how my body will look now". I…

It also said it helps you metabolize fat more in the 12-24 hours after you strength train. Anyone have more success with this way? I think I am going to…
