If you’re at home with the kids during the days, you needn’t forego your exercise routine.
Caring for your children can make for a pretty active routine during the week. It’s important to take the time to care for yourself, too, and that includes fitting in your exercise regimen. How to do it, though, and still mind the wee ones? We’ve got some creative tips below.
Include the kids in your workouts.
This works especially well if you have unlimited access to the great outdoors. Older children can join in with walking, skating and biking. Hiking through a park is fun and educational, too (take time to point out different kinds of wildlife and plants!). If you have enough room in your backyard, why not carve out a space for activity, such as a badminton net, trampoline or place to skip rope?
Buy a bike stroller.
If you have smaller kids, you’ll both enjoy getting fresh air and a workout at the same time. The strollers have enough room for your child to bring along his or her favourite companion toy for the ride, too.
