My doctor just told me I need to exercise more.....high cholesterol. I find it very difficult to be able to really exercise with 2 young children (3 & 5 <---not in kindergarten yet)
If I go in the pool, they go with me. I end up standing there while they exercise because they don't swim well enough to turn my back.
If I go for a walk, they walk so slow, it's not really exercise.
I can't afford to go to the gym and have no room for a treadmill. Dad isn't around enough for me to let him watch the kids, he works 12 hour days with 1 hour driving in each direction. When he is here, he is busy....except on the weekends.
I'm not making excuses, I'm looking for ideas!!! How does everyone else manage to fit exercise into their already busy, hectic days?
