I devote Mondays to cleaning out my mailbag. This week’s topic of finding time for fitness may be a day late, but it’s still timely for a lot of us.<\/em> <\/p>\n

\"Monday<\/p>\n

Question: How do I find time to get fit when motherhood demands so much of me? <\/h2>\n

\"\"Jennifer:
\n
\n We have five children, ranging in age from 2-11. <\/p>\n

I need to get in shape, but can never find the time with all the kids around. Any suggestions?

Answer: Involve the kids in your quest for fitness<\/h2>\n

\"Exercising<\/p>\n

Dear Busy,
\n
\n You don’t have to ditch the kids and head to the gym to get a good workout. There are ways of finding time for fitness with children in tow. Why not try exercising as a family? <\/p>\n
