Put on a wiggles DVD and dance along with EVERY track.....its actually quite hard. i think they have an untapped market for exercise DVDs ]]> Wed, 06 Jan 2010 21:35:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30801&PID=887937&title=exercise-and-wdyd#887937 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30801&PID=887854&title=exercise-and-wdyd#887854 Author: Rachael21

Yeah I always did DVDs the kids think its hilarious and would climb all over me but it did the trick. Swimming is also a good one with a toddler, I found just playing in the water and doing gentle laps in the playing pool with them on your back uses up quite a bit of energy.]]> Wed, 06 Jan 2010 20:35:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30801&PID=887854&title=exercise-and-wdyd#887854 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30801&PID=887606&title=exercise-and-wdyd#887606 Author: kebakat

Theres loads of workout dvds on trademe which work out really cheap. I've picked up a few for between $10-20 ea so I've got a few to choose from depending on what I feel like doing that day. I've seen plenty of preggy ones.]]> Wed, 06 Jan 2010 17:36:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30801&PID=887606&title=exercise-and-wdyd#887606 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30801&PID=887501&title=exercise-and-wdyd#887501 Author: Caro07

Thanks for the ideas DS does still nap but I quite like being at home for that otherwise I can't get any jobs done at home He probably would sleep in the buggy though so would be an option once or twice a week. The exercise video from the library would be a good idea though. I'll see if I can find anything that is low impact ]]> Wed, 06 Jan 2010 15:01:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30801&PID=887501&title=exercise-and-wdyd#887501 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30801&PID=887487&title=exercise-and-wdyd#887487 Author: Emmi_

The Youtube suggestion was what I was gonig to suggest too... Ive started doing it with preggy exercises. Much better than trying to go to the gym, and if you have 3 lots of 10 mins you can fit in a 30 min session. And its easy to find videos that are at your level/pace/difficulity and ones with trainers you like....

That's what I would suggest too...or if he would sleep in the buggy you could go for walks while he sleeps.]]> Wed, 06 Jan 2010 14:43:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30801&PID=887478&title=exercise-and-wdyd#887478 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30801&PID=887471&title=exercise-and-wdyd#887471 Author: ooEvaoo

4:30am.....shudder.

there are some kiddy-friendly activities you can do that get the heart rate up. I jog around the house. it looks dumb, but oh well. Kite flying is great and getting a bubble machine and running around to catch all of those burns calories too. ]]> Wed, 06 Jan 2010 14:25:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30801&PID=887457&title=exercise-and-wdyd#887457 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30801&PID=887432&title=exercise-and-wdyd#887432 Author: Caro07

Thanks Lilfatty - I think the morning is the best time to start it. I know it will really suck initially but you get used to it It would help that hubby gets up at 4am to study so he would say that 5am is a positive lie-in ]]> Wed, 06 Jan 2010 14:09:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30801&PID=887432&title=exercise-and-wdyd#887432 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30801&PID=887429&title=exercise-and-wdyd#887429 Author: lilfatty

I started exercising at stupid oclock when we first had kids as that was the only time there was someone in the house other than myself.

So before I started back at work .. I would get up at 5 and go out for a walk and be back before the kids woke up. This usually coincided with when Elias woke and needed a feed anyway, so it worked out really well.

Now that I'm back at work (and in training) .. I get up at 4.30 am and Im at the gym to do cardio by 5am so that I can get to work on time (my husband is at home with the kidlets)

We also invested in a treadmill for home, so I can usually fit in a cardio session at night when the kidlets are asleep (because my husband is usually having his gym session at that time).]]> Wed, 06 Jan 2010 14:05:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30801&PID=887429&title=exercise-and-wdyd#887429 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30801&PID=887418&title=exercise-and-wdyd#887418 Author: Caro07

Hi All

I am a SAHM to DS, who is nearly 2 And I need to get a bit more active!!

I reckon I probably achieve my 10,000 steps a day but most of them are done at toddler pace I used to take DS out for loads of walks in the buggy but now he wants to do the walking! The only time I have available for just me to exercise is before DS gets up (bearing in mind he is up at 6am) or after he is in bed. As tired and lazy I feel at these times I think they are my only option. I would probably just go for a brisk walk. We don't have money in the budget for the gym and although I would love a Wii Fit that will have to wait until next Christmas probably.

So what do you guys do? I am keen to get a bit more active before this next bubba arrives because if I don't, then it will be another 2 years before I address it again ]]> Wed, 06 Jan 2010 13:55:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30801&PID=887418&title=exercise-and-wdyd#887418
