| As a single parent, I have found that if we just stick to the house the kids have a harder time to sleep at night. My son 7, plays soccer 2 nights a week and the other 2 nights we go to the park, and we usually run around there for an hour and a half or so.

| If any of you have boys, they might enjoy those kickboxing workouts with you. Last night I was doing some of that when a commercial came on. I told my son, "Let's fight" because he loves to try to do karate. We had a great time and a good workout. He kicked me square in the butt and we're still laughing !

My ten year old daughter has been getting up early every morning to ride bikes with me. I can't just decide I don't feel like doing it because she's waiting with her bike helmet on and standing next to her bike when I finish feeding the animals outside. What a motivator she's turning out to be!

| Definitely more active since having a child! Even if he is napping, I pick up his toys and clean the floors that he crawls on. So we are active all day!!

Hi,
I try to take the baby for a walk in the stroller almost every day.
She loves it, and it makes her nap and sleep better that night.
I love the sunshine, and the exercise.
Also, signed her up for swim lessons and joined a gym with a great daycare.

I've been walking with my son. We also swim together. I want to instill healthy exercise habits in him at a young age.
I quit the gym because he wasn't allowed in the pool with me there.

| I have been reminding myself to play more with my daughter lately. I want a close relationship with her so that she will be able to be open with me later when it counts. So I think that playing with the kids is great anyways, and the extra cardio minutes are just an awesome bonus!

|
| I have 2 teenage boys that I play basketball, volleyball, tennis, catch, all kinds of things. It keeps us close and we can talk about things. It gives us more in common.

|
| Actually playing with kids is listed as an exercise in the drop down cardio options on the exercise tracker.

|
| Absolutely! I take my daughter to the park and go down the slide with her. She is too young to go alone. We have taken her to ChuckECheese, and I climb in the tubes with her. I think playing with her is a great way to exercise. It is fun too. You feel like a kid again.

| I have come to the conclusion that I am exercising while I play with my son... I figured the more I play with him the more excersize I get....Do you of you agree that we could use playing with our children as a way of exercise....
