[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also have three little ones and now that I am back at work I find it easier to work out.  My day is something like this-
Up at 6- half hour run, then straight to shower while DH gets them up and stars breakfast.  Eat/ get ready/ leave for work at 8.

Lunch - workout for 45 minutes almost very day.

Home at 6, dinner-bath-homework- bed by 8:30 for all except me.  I then prep for next day, maybe watch a show or work for an hour then to bed around 10.

Yes, it is a total pain in the ass.  But, it is worth it to me.  DH an I trade long workout days on the weekend because I am training for a race. [b] That said, my oldest, now 6, ride her bike for 4 miles while I ran the other day and I loved it.   To me, teaching them that taking care of yourself and also that mommy needs the time for pure sanity is important.[/b]

When I was a SAH parent, I had a treadmill and yes, I would absolutely put on a kids show while I ran so my older two would sit still for 30 minutes.  I also taught them how to do yoga.  It wasn't a ton of workout but it was better than nothing.  [/quote]

This is my dream.  My oldest is getting a scooter for her 3rd birthday next week, and I'm hopeful she'll be able to go for at least a mile at a slow-jog pace.  I'm so excited for a time I can run together (or bike/scooter/whatever) with my kids.  [/quote]
