For those mothers who have younger children there is fitness exercise that you can do alongside your child. Mommy and Me Yoga capitalizes on the hugely popular Yoga industry that is practiced the world over. This isn’t as intense or serious as many other yoga routines and is specifically designed to be flexible to a mother’s demanding schedule while be super kid-friendly. This is a countrywide program that anyone can do. Most studios have this program and even if there isn’t one near you, mothers can buy the DVD online and do the exercises with their kids in the comfort of their own home. Each session has animal yoga poses and songs built in to keep the child engaged while inserting a basic storyline for the child to follow while both the mother and child is getting their much needed exercise.
You might laugh but another great option for moms is using some of the active gaming systems out there. Microsoft currently has the Kinect and Nintendo has the highly successful Wii. Both of these systems are designed to be fun and encourage fitness and movement. By making the user an active participant, many of these games now respond to body movement that has direct effects to the onscreen avatar. These games aren’t just fun, it’s another way to keep your kids out of trouble. You can play these games with them and get your exercise while keeping them out of trouble.
