Getting After It

Lately, with the husband's work schedule, there are many nights where it's just the kids and I.  Working out is a huge part of who I am, so skipping a one is not an option.  My kids are not an excuse to not exercise.  They much prefer me to be a happier, healthier mommy.  So working out with them it is.  There are many benefits to bringing them along.



I get to work out.  



My kids see how important fitness is to me and I'm modeling a healthy lifestyle.  




At least one of them is getting exercise as well.  Soon enough, Izzy is going to want to start riding her bike.  Now that's going to be a challenge, but a challenge worth taking.  



And I get to spend time with my kids.

  2. Making it happen, no matter what! Love it! I'll remember this post next time I feel "too tired" to workout or get a run in... If you can do it with 2 kids, then I can get out there and make it happen too!

  9. I really love this so much. My sister has 2 kids and has always made it a point to fit in workouts no matter what. The kids see it as part of the day and I think it sets such a great example .

  11. Love this! I need to be more proactive about working out with the bambino. Although I must say, I do love the alone time too.

  12. Love this!!! Inspiring and so important for people to realize that when you make physical activity a normal part of the day, it just becomes fun and routine and people start to miss it when it's not there.

  13. I love it :) I already told Colin that if he wants another baby he'd better buy me a jogging stroller first ;) ....it really sucks that I started running AFTER Logan was born. Otherwise I would've got one of those strollers. You look awesome and I love your header!!!
