[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's stopping you from going for a walk and making DD come with you?[/quote]

I work till 6, then start making dinner, cleaning, and ferrying kids to music lessons, math tutors, helping with homework. Do you know any working parents???

If I go to the gym it’s at 5am or 10pm. [/quote]

You wonder why your kids don’t exercise when you don’t exercise yourself. 🙄

Stop making excuses. There is absolutely 30 minutes in your evening for a walk. You just don’t want to.[/quote]

Replace "i don't have time to exercise" with "exercise is not a priority for me."  Because we all find time for things that are important to us.

And yes, we both work full time, have commutes and spend a lot of time cooking dinner and driving our kids around. Still exercise is important to us. My kids swim 2-4 days a week and play weekend sports.
As for my husband and I, we both exercise at 5am on the week days. We also do things like walk while our kid is at a swim meet or music lesson, go to the gym at least one day on the weekend.

I firmly believe if something is important to you, you will find the time to do it. If it it not important to you then you will find the excuses.

+100.  I'm the parent who brings dumbbells, kettlebells a mat, and a box to my kid's soccer practice.  Very easy for me to do a 20 -30 minute strength workout and then a 20-30 minute run during that time.

I often see a lot of other parents sitting on the side scrolling on their phone.

I know I probably look silly, but who cares.
