Mommy workout solutions.

If you have small children and can't seem to find the time to hit the gym, while entertaining the kids... I have one solution that may work for you.

We have several small parks around where we live. And they are all pretty abandoned. Rarely do we run into a family there.

So I feed my kids breakfast, let them watch some cartoons while I do some weight training in the living-room...

By the time I am done they are pretty hyper. So my husband and I take them to one of the local parks. We let the kids loose while we get to work.

Our park has a small wood fence around it shaped into a giant rectangle. I use this as my track.

There are stairs about 10 of them. I use them as a stair climber.

Also there is a big gap between the levels of stairs and my husband uses it as a vertical jump or "box jumps"

The monkey bars he uses as a pull up bar. Or hooks his legs around and does crunches that way.

We make a circuit out of it.

We also have a dock that we race on. And we let the kids race.

By the time we are done. The kids are tired and ready for lunch, and a nap. Everyone got they're energy out and mommy and daddy got a workout in while watching the kids.

There are many other things I am sure you can think of and make your own circuit!!
