WOHM needs exercise ideas

[MamaLump]

I work full time and have an 11 th month old. How do I fit exercise into my daily routine???

I started out with the 30 Day Shred, which can be purchased at Walmart for $9. It only takes 27 minutes. I would do it either before I went to work, after while DH watched DS, or sometimes during my lunch break (when I lived near my office). It's not an easy work out but contains lots of modified moves for beginners.

For working moms, exercise has to become a priority. Make time for it. Let the dishes sit in the sink for a bit. Ask your DH for some help around the house and with the baby. Exercise while baby naps/sleeps. It's hard at first, but once you get in the groove, you're all set to go!

ETA: I have Leslie DVD's too. She's a lot of fun!

I love Leslie Sansone in home walking videos. If you can break away for 12-15 minutes, you can get a mile in. Do this 2-3 times a day and you have 2-3 miles in. Only one, and you get a mile in. She is very encouraging and uplifting too.

I've also been doing Jillian videos: 30 day shred, Ripped in 30, 30-day abs, etc.
They're short and are a decent workout - I can get up early and fit them in before the kids get up. Lately, it's been a little too dark and cozy in bed to hit the cold basement . . . .but I try!

I wake up at the butt crack of dawn to go to the gym before work. I am lucky in that DH does the morning wakeup/dress/feed/daycare run anyway because he goes in to work later. It's so early that for most of the year I would not be able to just run around the neighborhood because it's pitch black (and freezing).
