How often do you exercise?

I work out 1 hour five to six days per week. I get up at 4:45 am to do this…I have four children 8 and younger.

You are great. Too many of us use having children as an excuse to not exercise. You prove that it is is not an excuse. You draw a great balance in life - balancing the mind, body, and spirit. God bless you

Definately alot more when kids are in school!!! (SIGH~~)

Who has time when they’re home every day under foot?

I’m really looking forward to it again! In Sept.!!!

Since we homeschool, ours are here all the time. I take them with me.

We leave our house before 7 am and go to a small local paved walking path and they run while I push the toddler in the stroller. After about 25 minutes, we go home and have more energy for the rest of the day. It really helps with their attitudes as well as mine. It is great to feel like you have accomplished something so early in the morning!!

Our bodies are a temple. Since I retired, I am expanding my temple.

I think taking care of kids would be excellent exercise in and of it self!!

For me, for now though…my doggie is my exercise partner. If it weren’t for him, I’d have far less dedicated exercise time!

I walk 5-6 times a week, usually 45 minutes at a time, and at a pretty fast pace. I try to do “double duty” on these outings, and walk/talk with my oldest son. When I’m alone, these outings are a good venue for prayer. Walking is really fantastic for those of us on the cusp of “senior” status. It really helps me keep my weight under control.
