Reclaiming your body and life after kids

[Anonymous]

Another thread talks about being able to reclaim your body after your kids get to a certain age.

Anyone care to share ideas and experiences?

My first thoughts are exercise program to get in shape, dance classes for fun and maybe start a business.

I don't really understand this either. I am going to need some new hobbies I guess because my current hobbies are cooking and cleaning up the kitchen and chauffeuring my kids to sports. But my body is fine (I only had two, I was fairly young and it was a long time ago now, youngest is 13.)

When the kids were 4 and 6 (twins) I started a morning bootcamp class (5:30-6:30am). As far as reclaiming my life, not until all 3 kids left for college, and yes, still attending bootcamp

Probably has more to do with breastfeeding and not having time or energy to work out. I have a 4 year old who is very rough physically and I don’t feel like I get enough space to relax on the sofa. He loves to jump on me.

Now that my kids are older, I have more time so am finally training for another marathon. Am relieved it’s been going well, and the best part is running with my boys.
