Need ideas for workouts or simple exercises that you can do at home with or without the kids? We got you. We know that when you are home with your kids and don't have the option of going to the gym or playground, getting exercise in can be tough. Maybe you're used to having your workouts be your "me" time without the kids, and now you have to adapt to being expected to share that time with little humans who love you and want to be all up in your business 24/7. You could wait until they are asleep to get your exercise on, or you could go with the flow and let them get in on your exercise routine.

The truth is that exercise is great for everyone in the family, so why not make it a family activity, especially if that is the only way that you can guarantee that you will get any exercise at all? You will definitely have to exercise patience, because kids don't always follow a plan, and that's OK. Flexibility–be it mental or physical–is a good thing. Be flexible with how you work out when your kids are with you, and be flexible about when you work out. You'll have to modify exercises for your children, and you will have to work out when you can, which might be in small chunks throughout the day instead of one big chunk.
Now, as for inspiration, we found some awesome moms on Instagram who regularly work out with their kids. They've got some go-to exercises that you can incorporate into your rotation. Also, remember that moving your body to music is a great form of exercise, so when all else fails, pump up the jams and have a family dance party to get your blood pumping. If you pick music your kids love, then you can probably even manage to sneak in some of the following exercises without too much trouble.
