It is an early morning with Clifford on the tv for the kids. Just a typical day for a stay at home mom. But there is part of my problem. I have been using my kids as an excuse to not do things - like exercise. They have a computer in our living room and so is my stair stepper. So if I am not getting them a snack for the millionth time during the day (and snacking myself) I am sitting because I don't want to try the stepper with them in the room.
I try to get them to watch movies in their room so that I can do pilates without them stepping on me. Which never works of course because I have three nosy girls who keep coming out and asking "what are you doing mommy?" and sitting on me.
I can't afford a gym membership and even if I could the ones by us do not provide daycare/babysitting services for it to be worth my while. So any of you out there with kids - how do you work out with them around?

My gym has a day care for the kids while the parents work out. They also do fitness things teaching them at a young age to stay fit. Another friend has a time set aside each day to exercise with her kids. They all exercise for a hour. The youngest is 2 and mostly just rolls around but it is a fun family thing for them to do.

do your girls take naps that is when i try to exercise, or go to the park with them or go for a nice walk around the neighborhood (do they ride bikes).
