[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^im a super tired sahm (bad stage of life right now), and I make time to work out. I do it at home. Usually before my kids wake up but sometimes when they’re next to me.

1. I used to do videos but, I will tell you my secret, I wrote down the list of exercises in my favorite 3-week routine (21 day fix.....). For each workout, i go down the list and do it myself. It’s better because I really focus on my form. I wrote down notes for the ones that are hard to remember / or important things I need to know about form.

2. If I can’t take 20-30m to do it before they wake, I do it next to them. Especially if they’re watching a show, I will watch it with them and ask them about them characters and lessons.

3. If 2yo sits on my while I’m doing crunches.... no big deal. It’s a list, maybe I can finish it up in 5 minutes, when he goes for a nap, or later in the day when dh gets home.

I mix it up and go running sometimes when dh is home.

So, to the pp way up there ^ it doesn’t take away from your kids. They are impressed that I can do 15 burpees in one minute, and they have helped me count if they’re paying attention. Or push-ups. Sometimes they jump next to me if I’m doing jumping jacks.

*i have two 2lb weights (cheap at Walmart) and a yoga mat. For the 21day fix yoga days, I just do YouTube Yoga with Adriene.

*i got the list idea from overhearing a dad to dad conversation about gym routines at ballet pickup. Realized I could convert my frustration with queuing up the tv, needing it to be super quiet in the morning, or negotiating with my kids tv time occasionally.... a list made perfect sense. [/quote]

There's something so calming and encouraging about your post. I'm literally starting a little exercising session right now, after reading it.
You have a great formula with this no fuss approach.
