[quote=Anonymous]When my kids were little, I built as much physical activity into spending time with them as I could.

At playground, I was not sitting, I was up walking around the whole time (circling the playground) or climbing on equipment with them as appropriate.  No sitting on a bench playing with my phone.
We walked EVERYWHERE and I pushed a giant-ass stroller.  We walked to do errands, playgrounds, library, etc.  Some of these places, I did not live that close to.  I live in a close-in suburb.  We would walk in all but the hottest and coldest weather, so pretty near close to year round.
Swimming in the summer and I got in and moved around a lot.  You can do a lot of underwater type aerobics while you are just hanging out in the pool watching your toddlers.
Hikes with kids in the carrier.

Basically, I just kept a really active lifestyle for all of us.

I didn't do any kind of organized exercise (gym or class)  until my youngest was about 4.  Until then, it was just too hard for me to fit in.  I prioritized sleep and work.  But doing above, I managed to keep my weight steady and stay pretty fit.[/quote]
