* Obviously, when it's warm enough outside we run pushing the kids in the jogging stroller. For times that it's just too darn cold, we do the following..
The "errend run"~ This is where one of us leaves the house and starts running in the direction of the store we need to go to. At a previously determined time, the other one then packs up the kids in the car and drives to the store. Then, on the way home we switch. The driver then runs, and the runner drives the kids home. This also gives you the opportunity to do a point to point run, instead of a loop. It's a nice change of scenery.
* We have one of our bikes hooked up to a trainer in the livingroom. This allows us to hop on the bike during naptimes or when the kids are occupied with a movie.
* The gym we belong to has a daycare, however, only for children over the age of 1. Great for our daughter (who is 2), not so much for our son (who is about 10 months). In order to get in those swim workouts we have devised this schedule. On Mondays and Fridays, my husband heads to the pool right after work to swim. I plan to get there about an hour later. He then takes my car (because it contains the sleeping children) and I stay and swim. We then meet up at home, put the kids to bed, and enjoy a nice dinner together while
* I attend a mom and baby workout that incorporates resistance bands and cardio, for a great all over body workout with the kids in tow. Not having to find a babysitter to workout is wonderful!
These are some of the creative ways we try to fit in a workout with 2 little ones. Do you have any creative workouts you would like to share?
