As a mom, your biggest challenge may be building a fitness routine around your kids' schedules. Instead, try building exercise into your kids' routines. Not only will this help you, but it will teach them the important habit of regular exercise. Go for walks or bike rides together. Do exercise videos together. Walk the dog as a family. Play games that will raise your heart rate such as tag or tossing a ball around. If your child is at a sports practice, walk or jog laps around the field or gym while you wait.
Use Variety
A lot of people give up exercise because they get bored and lose motivation. The way to combat boredom is to incorporate variety into your workouts.

Fitness classes like aerobics, yoga and Pilates can also be fun and challenging.
Bring a Buddy
Working out with a friend or your partner is a great way to spend time together and stay motivated. You may even be able to find a group of moms who exercise together-with kids in tow. Talk to your friends and family and figure out some group exercise routines that work for you.
Use Small Sessions
