Working out with kids!

Have you ever tried to workout with kids? They are running around in your workout area, climbing on you, even asking you 5thousand questions...Yep this is my daily routine of working out.

Doing CIZE with 5 kids is like crazy right. WRONG!!!!! Doing a workout or multiple workouts with your kids present makes them want to get up and try, it makes them see that you have to work for what you want.

I actually stopped doing my workout at night with all my kids home because it seemed like hell! I was constantly telling them to move so they didn't get kicked, hit, steped on, or bumped out of the way. Well, with having young kids like I do I had to talk to them and teach them that this is MY time for ME!

My kids are 9 (loves to workout with me), 6 (loves to laugh at me when I workout), 4 (tries the workout then plays), 3 (tries workout for a few sec then runs around me), and 7mths (wants anything and everything while I am working out)...Take all these scenarios...I let our 9yr old do it with me, our 6,4,&3 yr olds get told to play, color, or watch quietly, and the 7mth old normally ends up being worn by me.

Yes this is crazy, insane, but you know what it gets the job done. Today while doing my workout the older two were at school, my 4yr old was brought home from getting sick on the bus, my 7mth old and 3yr old were wide awake. Well, the 4&3yr old wanted to play outside so I took the baby put her in the stroller, let the other two play while I brought my laptop out with me to do my workout! Yes, people could have seen me, yes I could have messed up (I did), and yes my anxiety was through the roof. However, all that is okay because that is what parents do!!! I would do it all over again for my kids to be happy and me to have MY time!

Therefore, kids are not an excuse not to get up and workout they are the reason to push play. Remember we set the examples for our kids with our actions. That means what we eat and what we do! So are you ready yet?
