Exercising with Two Kids in Tow

I was determined to continue to exercise as a stay at home mom, without having to join a gym.

I remember my stay at home dad friend mentioning that he does yoga with his two girls, and they all get a little exercise together this way. So on occasion, I too give it a try, but find yoga videos with the girls a little frustrating at the present life stages for the one year old. All she wants to do is climb all over me while I lie on the floor, so I think the yoga gig is going to have to wait a few more months.

My new solution- bike riding. I load up the car the night before we head out, so I don't back out of it due to the hassle of organizing the trip with two kids hanging on me at every moment. I purchased one of those amazing bike trailers that seats two kids. With this attached to the back of my bike, not only am I getting a great work out, but it entertains the kids for awhile too.

I load the trailer up with a few toys that they don't historically fight over, along with frozen juice boxes, and a few snacks such as raisins and trail mix. All loaded up, we are good for about a 10 mile ride.
