WFMW: An Easy Workout


Recently on my homeschool blog a friend asked me how I found time for fitness when my kids were younger. Kelly Ripa was probably in middle school when my kids were younger, so she hadn't shared this idea yet, but recently I came across this great workout that my kids and I think is fun and which I think would be a perfect way to get in a good workout with young children around. It's the "Alphabet Workout." Mom (and older kids) can use a 5-20 pound weight ball and little ones can use just a playground ball. Mom gets a great workout and the kids practice their ABC's (or spelling words!)





An easy, inexpensive (arm-flab-reducing) workout that doesn't require a gym membership and can be done with kids... works for me! For more ideas, visit Shannon.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

This looks fun .... and believe me .... exercise NEVER looks fun to me. I can just hear my kids giggling through this workout though.

MAYBE .... just MAYBE we will have to try it. haha

Great idea! And great blog! I added it to my favorites list, so I'll remember to come back.

Thanks for your comment on my blog.

That's cute, and looks like a great rainy-day burn-of-the-energy thing for young kids!

I didn't see until I already commented that you're adopting from Ethopia - that's fantastic! Somewhere in Ethopia I've got a new niece or nephew waiting to come home; my brother and his wife are going through the process now.
