[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly no. I think you should workout more even if that means popping the three year old in front of the tv to give you time to lift weights, run a quick couple of miles etc. Your body is giving you a sign that you need to strengthen up. You aren’t even 40![/quote]

What?!? I exercise every day and still, I totally relate to what OP is saying. I find being with kids all day utterly physically draining and yes, my WHOLE body aches at the end of the day. I totally understand now why mothers start drinking wine daily. [/quote]

Sorry but I just can’t relate when it comes to a nearly 4 year old and a 7 year old (and yes I have that spread, plus a third). My back definitely hurt when I was lifting toddlers but no, I wasn’t physically sore when it came to the independent kid ages. [/quote]

Ha, op here. DS is capable of being independent but I never stopped lifting him because he often needs to be stopped. I am trying to limit it to only times when he truly needs physical redirection. He’s a great kid, just a rascal with a ton of energy and a desire to do more than he should. And he’s 40+ lbs. I’m a fitness instructor, so I know all the dos and don’ts of lifting and have a pretty good baseline for fitness, but maybe I’ll try to do more yoga or something. 🤷🏻‍♀️[/quote]

You lift your 7 year old all the time? Seriously? I haven’t lifted mine more than twice in the past year![/quote]
