Hey Everyone!
On the days that I don't go to the gym, I workout from home with the weight of my own body. Performing simple functions, such as picking up your children (who weigh 30-60 pounds of dead weight) is still considered working out in my book. Lay on the ground and do a few reps of bench pressing with them. They will thinks it's a game (make it a fun one) and you will get a workout. Making it a game for them, will help you stay accountable - because they will want to do it everyday with you. Even better, scheduling it for a specific time of day, such as before breakfast or an hour before lunch.
While I'm nowhere near being able to bench press...yet... I made a game out of my at home workouts, so that little man and I can do them together.
Day 2 Workout (Home Workout Day 1):
Push-ups, Sit-ups and Squats. An at home, full body workout - that will take you less than 10 minutes. A friend of mine told me about some apps I could download to help me achieve these mini goals at home...
