Interesting advice:
It can be challenging for any busy adult to squeeze in exercise. Add children to
the mix, and the task seems almost superhuman.
Remember, it's easiest to stick to an exercise plan if you make it an ingrained
part of your routine. Maybe one of these strategies can work for you:
- If you have an infant or toddler, bring the little one along. Use a jogging
stroller, a child seat for your bike (with child helmet), or a stroller with
"all-terrain" wheels for long walks.
- Exchange babysitting services with another parent who wants to maintain a
regular exercise schedule.
- With a school-age child, look for places where you both can exercise, even
though you're at different skill levels. Examples: A swimming pool, a running
track, a community fitness center.
- Instead of chauffeuring your child to routine activities and events (scout
meetings, soccer practice, going to or from school), try biking, jogging or
walking together.
