I no longer have a regular exercise time, but I try to get some in during the day. If Baby H is having a good night and goes to bed in her crib before Hubbles and I turn in for the night, I will usually do some yoga. I also do stretches, squats, dancing, and other exercises during the day while holding the baby. Waiting for the microwave? Do some squats! Playing with the baby? Do some baby lifts! That sort of thing.

Harmony- Yes, crunches are fine. Any form or variety of sit ups/crunches is great!

I work out in the morning, if I don't have my work out done by 10 it's not going to be done for the day. I like the way it energizes me for the rest of the day. It's hard to remember that when I am supposed to get out of bed to go workout!

I just wanted to make sure crunches and bicycle crunches are ok in lew of sit ups. I haven't been able to do a full sit up in a long time.

Wow! This is a great challenge for this week!

I try to go to the gym 3 times a week, but kiddos are sick this week=no gym :o( Instead, I work out to Jillian Michaels 30-Day Shread... That DVD will kick you in places you didn't knnow you could burn! :o) I have found out that if I don't do my work out at the gym, I have to get up early or do it during nap time... hours seem to slip away if I don't make an effort to workout, and then my day is gone.

I was putting of crunches.. lol.
I need to do something to try and flatten my shrinking baby pooch.

BTW, I am having trouble commenting on some of the blogs.
If I can't get it tonight, I will try another day this week.

I workout as a I can. Sometimes I get lucky and both kids nap at the same time so I hop on my treadmill or pop in a workout DVD. When the weather is nice, we take family walks. Many times my only workout is doing leg lifts, arm circles, etc while sitting in the floor playing with my kids - nothing like multitasking.

walk w/ the kiddos either late morning or late afternoon - it's tough w/ different naptimes! But the afternoon nap is the same for all three little ones, so that's when I do the shred dvd - which I love and hate all at the same time :)

I used to walk in the evening when it was cooled down...but it seems lately that I haven't hardly been exercising at all! =( But I have reorganized some things and Week 4 will be my week!

2009-10-20T09:11:00.445-08:00

I work out when I can at different times every day. I work around my babies nap and around picking up and dropping my kids off at school. I do walk my youngest son to school while pushing the stroller, when OR. weather permits.

2009-10-20T07:43:52.644-08:00

I work out at different times as different days allow. I have been trying to get up and do a DVD at least half the days of the week in the early morning before the boys get up. I also try to do weights 3 times a week, and that requires me to go to the gym, which occurs in the evenings after dinner and after the baby goes to bed at 7:30. These days, it's never a really good time to do it so i always have to force myself to work out.
