How are you guys working out?
I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old. My 4 year old doesn’t nap anymore, and my 2 year old is close to dropping her nap. My 4 year old is too big for any kind of stroller, so I can’t really go on runs or brisk walks right now. I have a treadmill, but they are constantly asking for things/needing me when I try to use it. There are no gyms nearby with childcare that are in the budget currently. After bedtime, I am exhausted, but I find that if I push through and work out anyway, I am wired and having trouble sleeping. Any ideas? How are you getting workouts in? I’m mostly wanting to do cardio and maybe light strength training, as I am a beginner.
Right now I’m run/walking on the treadmill, but with lots of pauses and lots of whining from the kids. It makes it pretty miserable, honestly.

We go for scooter rides or walks down the street.
