• You can get a full body workout with no equipment.
• You can do wall sits and squats while you are brushing your teeth, at your desk, or holding a baby! 

• Workouts online! I love the thousands of options I have on BOD.  Most of the time I choose my workout based on how much time I have.  In this photo I am streaming my workout in a hotel room while out of town. 

• Walk to the park, or run. I've used the playground to do pull ups, step ups, box jumps, etc.
• Do pushups, squats, lunges, burpees while they are are playing or in their high chairs. Because I workout at home I normally have to stop multiple times to help them or get them out of something, step over them, or they might be crawling on me, but I can get the majority of a workout in.  

• Wear a baby, or use them as your “weights”.  I have done lunges wearing one baby and holding the other at the same time, squats wearing or holding a baby, chest presses with a baby, shoulder raises, and they think it’s fun (most of the time).
• You are setting a good example being active and having a good attitude about exercise. Make it fun for them, and do it together.

• Write down everything you do in your typical day
• Is there room to adjust, even by 10 minutes?
• Are there things you do that you didn't realize are time suckers?
• Can you put exercise in your calendar at specific times of the day, and set an alarm to eliminate distractions?
• Can you replace at least one thing in your day with exercise? (watching TV, grabbing coffee, checking social media, going out to eat)

• Can your significant other feed the kiddos a meal while you workout?
• Can you invite a friend to go for a walk, with or without kids, for extra accountability?

• Fueling your body with the right nutrition will give you more energy, and will make you want to exercise
• As a parent, we will never get enough sleep, however we can get try bed at a decent time.
• Turn off electronics an hour before bed to get GOOD sleep.
• Getting up a little earlier to start our day with exercise. I know that even on the nights I don't get enough sleep, my day is not affected if I exercise first thing.

• I know, I know, this one is silly. But is it? Cute shoes always give us confidence. How many times do we make an excuse or don't feel like working out because we don't feel good about ourselves?  This is why I love working out at home. I can still be a hot mess and it doesn’t matter what I look like!
