Do your children have bikes/tricycles? My guys are willing to ride their bikes (one with training wheels) while I walk or jog. They are 8 & 4 yrs old.

Happy to Help! I would check out your local video store and sample fitness videos before you buy one. That way you aren't stuck with one that doesn't fit your needs. It's also nice to change things up every week too.

Enjoy!

Hi Julie,

Welcome to Sparkpeople! I think it's great that you want to get your kids involved and make it family exercise! Some ideas that I have used (while my daughters are much younger at ages 3 and 2 sometimes we are successfull, other times it just keeps them occupied so I can get my cardio in!). Jumping rope, playing tag, going for a walk, riding bikes and my favorite...jumping jacks. I love watching my youngest attempt this one! You may find some other ideas in the fitness resource center.

Be well,
Kelly
