i have difficulties with getting started and being consistent with exercise too. also the all or nothing thing….
on the bright side, though it took around 2 years or so for me to hook up the wii my parents had passed down for me and the kids to use, i finally did it, about a month ago. and so glad i did! i find the wii fit is a great beginning(considering i had not been to the gym or doing any formal exerise since i was pg with my son over 8 years ago!). it gives immediate feedback, and has a good variety to get started.the kids don’t care much for the wii fit, though my daughter will try to do the yoga poses by my side, and root for me while doing the balance and aerobic exercises. it also inspired me to search other types of wii games that i would enjoy, and hoped the kids would do with me. so far, ddr(dance revolution) was disappointing, but bep experience is challenging and a great workout. what i like to do is start with the wii fit balance to warm up, then do some of the yoga, strength, and aerobic exercises, and then do bep when/if i’m up for a fun and intense workout.always hope i’ll do this daily, but hasn’t happened yet.
in the summer i like to take the kids to the pool. to add a little exercise more than just playing around i’ll “taxi” them back and forth, or we’ll do races. 3even teaching them to dive is a bit of a workout as i’ll lift them out from the deep end to save time, as well as support them as they’re learning the form (trying to avoid belly-flops)
that’s all i’ve been able to manage since having kids, and being essentially a single parent (husband/father works very long hours, and isn’t very involved the small amount he is around), but it’s a start!
