Jumping on the tramp is great exercise. Riding bikes with them, wrestling, doing mommy gymnastics (tossing the kids in the air, balancing them on my feet, flipping them over, stuff like that), crazy dancing in the living room. That kind of stuff all burns calories, without the guilt.TheOneTrueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04756132396031048647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019990.post-20908804581276645992008-03-02T08:38:00.000-06:002008-03-02T08:38:00.000-06:00First of all, about 99% of Americans don't exercis...First of all, about 99% of Americans don't exercise, so I guess all us flabsters are normal! <BR/><BR/>I usually run within 45 minutes of getting home in the afternoon so I don't disturb my neighbors too much. I have new neighbors below me and I try to run within a short window in the afternoon. Some days I blow that window by staying late or by being lazy. Soon, though, I hope to run outside before I head into work. I haven't been very good about any of it lately.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019990.post-39996179235437213492008-03-01T15:58:00.000-06:002008-03-01T15:58:00.000-06:00Oh wow, can I totally relate to your story Amy.

I can't run on a treadmill either and outside is out of the question since I am a wimp when it comes to cold weather. <BR/>What I have been doing is DVD's. I found a 25 minute DVD that burns a ton of calories! Mostly my kids sit and watch it while I sweat my a$$ off but at least they are with me. With it being only 25 minutes, I don't have too much Mommy Guilt<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Hurricaneholhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07069281873719114532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019990.post-53270808968763941312008-03-01T15:04:00.000-06:002008-03-01T15:04:00.000-06:00My work out plan?

Run upstairs to get clothes, hear crash - run downstairs. Realize baby gate was left open - run upstairs. Get laundry downstairs, time to put kids to bed upstairs. Suddenly all 3 kids forget how to climb stairs and must be carried. Either take 3 trips or figure out how to carry all three at once. Finally get kids to bed upstairs. Realize ice cream is downstairs. Run fast before anyone wakes up or wants to share.tnmommy2006https://www.blogger.com/profile/04939699615275583184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019990.post-27734528327421047882008-03-01T13:57:00.001-06:002008-03-01T13:57:00.001-06:00when my kids were that little, i didn'tand now i m...when my kids were that little, i didn't<BR/><BR/>and now i manage to sneak off in the mornings before work to get to the gym because my kids can get themselves ready for school and out the door without me.<BR/><BR/>and sometimes, when the weather is nice, i go for a run while dinner is cooking...like if I have something in the oven for 40mins, i get dressed, put it in the oven, run out the door, get back, take it out, take a shower...and serve it while my hair is wrapped up in a towel.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03231464198799653331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019990.post-36357116029254057442008-03-01T13:57:00.000-06:002008-03-01T13:57:00.000-06:00when my kids were that little, i didn'tand now i m...when my kids were that little, i didn't<BR/><BR/>and now i manage to sneak off in the mornings before work to get to the gym because my kids can get themselves ready for school and out the door without me.<BR/><BR/>and sometimes, when the weather is nice, i go for a run while dinner is cooking...like if I have something in the oven for 40mins, i get dressed, put it in the oven, run out the door, get back, take it out, take a shower...and serve it while my hair is wrapped up in a towel.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03231464198799653331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019990.post-80703265199250998672008-03-01T10:30:00.000-06:002008-03-01T10:30:00.000-06:00Honestly, it's hard.

Hip Hop, Old School, it didn't matter. We would keep it up for a good half hour or so. I even made up some "dances" that involved a semblance of actual exercise moves and tried to involve all of the main muscle groups. My kids loved it, it was time together, and I could actually work up a good sweat. Really, it was fun and effective!<BR/><BR/>Good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019990.post-19365079801133846952008-02-29T18:50:00.000-06:002008-02-29T18:50:00.000-06:00It's good to hear you're just like the rest of us....It's good to hear you're just like the rest of us...ok "them"...the 9-5 workers that don't work out at all!!

I do burn 500 calories a day breastfeeding! Maybe you could try to relactate! As we "speak, I'm burning those calories. How cool is that? I also wanted to add that James' speech is getting MUCH better, we don't even need a translator anymore.
