Having Children Can Make You Fat
Jul 5th, 2007 by admin
That’s not exactly breaking news.
What is intresting is I bet you think we are talking about women. Nope. It’s the men we are talking about here but they CAN to do something about it.
A new study done at the university of Pittsburgh determined that new parents lose about 3.5 hours of physical activity per week after having children.
The intresting part is Moms lost about 90 minutes but Dads lost a whopping 4.5 hours.
If your family is anything like ours getting to the gym with two children in tow can be very challenging, to say the least.
Our gym has a day care facility but just getting the kids ready and out the door and take up to a half hour. That really cuts into your workout time especially if you have a busy schedule already.
As the kids got older, we found some great ways to work out with them. This gives us great family time together. Plus we all get to burn off a few calories.
I found a short video that will get you started with some exercises that will be fun for you and the kids.
If you have any ideas please feel free to post a comment.
