[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my kids were young I would run with a double stroller, run while my kids biked or scootered, sometimes would get a group of moms together and do a track workout while kids played/ran as well.

Or wake up at 5, or at lunch. But prioritize it, be creative and don’t let perfection get in the way of the good. [/quote]
I followed a similar approach. Do [i]what[/i] you can, [i]when[/i] you can. No time for the formal 20-40 min gym workout? How about run the stairs in your home (if you have two stories) or skip rope. YouTube a dance party with your kids (the younger set love those). Walk, run, scooter, bike the neighborhood. Parking in the very back of a shopping center lot and get those “steps” in.

That said, our household joined the 5am crowd long ago…and DH and I traded off to really make it happen and we both took Fridays “off” to have breakfast as a family. The side bene was each of us had to deal with the morning routine on our own and it made making a “routine” a real habit. Everyone was in bed by 9pm until ours were in HS.[/quote]
